Sadly, Summer is Really Over!

We have had a wonderful summer. I wish that everyone could have been with us. We've seen Donner's Pass, Lake Tahoe, San Francisco, drove across the Golden Gate bridge, rode a boat under the Golden Gate bridge crossing by Alcatraz,watched the homeless, fed the seagulls, rode the open top tour trolley. Smelled fresh fish, listened to the honking of seals as they basked in the hot California sun. We watched a long hot pink limo pick up 'someone' important in front of Macy's at the Business Square. (That Macy's is the largest in the country.) It must have been someone important because of the body guards,guys with their walkie talkie's and the police escort. Humm, still wish I could have seen in those dark windows. Ha, ha!. We loved seeing Sacramento, joining a small town for a country fair in celebration of the local apples. It wasn't too small. It was really fun. We loved seeing Yosemite, the beauties of the granite rock that seemed to reach the sky. We were lucky again to see this through another opened ride. That is the best way to go. We saw Muir Woods, Large redwoods, Fast drivers, fun campgrounds with wonderful swimming pools. Hot times driving through Sahara Desert and Los Vegas,hitting Vegas at rush hour of 5 p.m. (Never again) We were stuck at a crawl for over one hour. We should have found a spot to stop and rest but it was hard to even get off the freeway. We went to a campground outside Zion's National Park and decided to stay there for two days. We loved the free tour bus through the Park. We took time to stop at the Large Zion's Lodge. We ate lunch sitting on the lush green grass under the shade of a large oak tree along with many other families enjoying the ah's too. We drove home on Sunday evening getting home in time for school to start the next day. We were gone three weeks. It was a marvelous time for all and quite the education for the boys too. The dogs love going as well. We loved the new Motor home as it was SO comfortable for all of us. I'll try to post some pictures. We would have loved going for another month if we could have stretched our the summer. It is truly a blessing that we are able to do this traveling at this time in our life. It is an activity that is easier for Gus to do than other activities that other family get to do. Enjoy these few pictures.
