Anniversary Trip – The End
I feel like Part 3 just ended without any closure, but there’s really not much else to tell. Thursday after our dinner in town was another relaxing evening and Friday we came home. The End.

[Written Thursday, April 18] When last I typed we were sitting in Starbuck’s and contemplating another try at the park we couldn’t find to see waterfalls. We found our way to the park. It was the same one we’d stopped at, but maintenance crews were in front of the trail entrance so we didn’t see…

[Written Wednesday, April 17] I’m currently writing from Starbucks in Canandaiga. It has wifi. We needed a fix. That and some Starbucks goodness. So we didn’t hit any antique stores yesterday.

Todd and I went away last month and I wrote a little something for the blog each day with the intent of posting when we got home. As you can see from the date of the entry, I didn’t do it. Better late than never? [Written Tuesday, April 16] Todd and I are off celebrating…

Following our adventurous morning on the beach we all kicked back at the house for a while – napping, reading, whatever – and then prepared to go into town. I think we clean up purty good. Gretchen drove us to the quaint town of Langley. We made dinner reservations and then explored up one side…

As I mentioned in my last post, I took over 1200 pictures. Some great, some horrible, most tolerable. Don’t worry. I won’t share them all. That would be like going to great Uncle Horace’s house and watching his vacation slides. Great for insomniacs, bad for blog readers. I am going to break them up, though.…

Last night I caught the red eye out of SeaTac for a non-stop to Philly where I landed around 7:00 this morning. Which was 4:00 AM to my Pacific Time Zone adjusted self. Thankfully I have nothing to do today other than sleep, readjust and download over 1200 pictures Precious blessed me with. Not 1200…

We arrived home from our trip to Arkansas Sunday night and I’m leaving again in the morning for a short girls’ weekend out west. When I get back and have my bearings I’ll tell you all about both trips. In the meantime, here are a couple of collages of things we saw while on the…
