Hi Everyone,
We made it home and it is so good to be back. We did indeed enjoy our trip this year. It was awesome! I'll try to some it up as best as I can so it won't be so long to read.
First we went to Utah for 6 weeks. We rock hound and found petrified wood and a lot of petrified dinosaur bone as well. Dinosaur bone, can you imagine? We took it down to the BLM to see what it was and sure enough it was Dinosaur bone. To get this bone and other rock hounding specials, we scrambled up cliff trailings and wandered around the buttes in the area all day long. There was maybe two days we didn't go searching. We left mid morning and came back just before dark with our arms so sore carrying stuff for miles. It was hard work, but OH so wonderful.
Then we went to Las Vegas for one week. Our son took us to see "O". O MY GOD! Fabulous! He also took us out for many very special dinners. Glad to say I didn't gain one ounce. We walked all day in that one week for hours.
We met our daughter, grandchild of almost 3 and our son-in-law at Disneyland. We played all week long. Walked ate, and rode the rides to our hearts content. Very lucky again for not gaining any pounds.
Went further North and saw Hearst castle and took many pictures. I've never seen such beauty in my life. We only saw a glimpse of the castle and even less of the grounds, but hey, you do get the impression of how rich this family was/is and how huge the castle is.
A little further North and went through Napa Valley where there was many wineries and grape growing vineyards all over the place. We couldn't taste the wine because there was only the two of us, (we were driving through) but the view and the magnificent houses around the area were so incredible!
Last, we saw the Redwood Forest on the way home. We stayed one night under those incredible trees. Massive and strong trees to say the least. I felt like a small bug in the mist of them. It was so impressive! Our earth is so grand.
Looking forward to getting caught up with Cathe news/forums again.
Can't wait to here from you all!

The idea is to die young as late as possible
