Visiting Judi and Duffy was fun. We also saw Karen, Sarah, and little Meeka in Portland.

We visited Dan and Mary on the coast, and enjoyed a beautiful campsite next to the ocean in Lincoln Beach....and we all took a walk on the beach, and had several meals together.

We spent a day traveling through a portion of the Park...the Valley is quite crowded for "shoulder season" because of the government closure...but we had a peaceful 3.5 mile walk with Aray on one of the few pet friendly trails, and then negotiated the mountainous windy roads with the trailer...and stopped when there was space to stop and take photos. Found a lovely, almost empty RV park outstide the park on west side which we have enjoyed.

Fom Phoenix to San Clemente, to Rancho Cucamonga, to Foothill Ranch, to Riverside and Pismo Beach, (and Jacksonville, Fla. where Clyde went by air) we saw 4 children, 15 grandchildren, and 3 great grandchildren, and 2 brothers, and their families. It has been a wonderful time.

I had a lovely birthday with a swim at Kathi's fitness center, a walk on the beach, wine tasting, lunch and a brew, great dinner, and strawberries with angel food cake! Wonderful!
