The first day of my long vacation was the best kind of Washington day, low 70's, blue skies--made me wonder for a moment if I really wanted to travel away from paradise. But only for a moment. Yesterday we met Pam at the airport for 5am breakfast before we boarded different flights for the Chicago area. Mount Rainier gave us a fabulous sendoff. In fact, at one point we could see all the major peaks down to Mount Hood.
We landed in Milwaukee, rented a car and went to visit Don's 90 year old aunt and uncle. They were happy we stopped in and it was good to see them again and share ice cream. Then it was off to Crystal Lake for the family gathering and wedding celebration taking place on Saturday. Pam was there when we arrived and Kevin, Wendy and the boys followed shortly. Mark and Tarah made ribs and with the yummy salads from his Mom we had a great feast. Good to be surrounded with family.
