We're on our way

Larry, Julie and Kya

After months of planning and preparation, we finally left Rocklin on Monday, August 2nd at 8:45 pm. We arrived in Fernley, NV at 12:30 am and 'camped out' in the Walmart parking lot. What a relief to get off the California highways. Smooth sailing since then.

We arrived in Boise ID on August 3rd around 6 pm. Daughter, Julie and son-in-law, Larry had a wonderful meal waiting for us along with a great bottle of wine. They graciously allowed us to park in their driveway for the duration of our visit and I think it must have been made for our motor home. We fit perfectly, although the kids had to keep their bedroom shade closed or we would have been able to watch them sleep!

Larry and Julie's home was the perfect place to begin our journey. Very low key. Lots of 'catching up', hikes in the foothills, and relaxing. Larry and Julie presented us with a wonderful journal to record our trip memories. Thanks you two...oops three (sorry Kya) for a wonderful beginning for our trip.

While in Boise, we were also able to have a nice lunch with Marcia and Tim O'Keeffe of Bliss, ID and Florida. Marcia was Pete's administrative secretary (and boss) when he was principal at Weimar Hills Middle School. Great to see Marcia and to meet Tim.

We are now truly on our way. Next stop...Grand Teton National Park. Cheers!
