June 10 - 29, 2015
It was another one of those crazy rushed trips that we all make to see family and friends. There never seems to be enough time to squeeze in everything that we want to do or everyone that we want to see. I always thought that our retired years would be less frantic. We flew from Raleigh, NC to St Louis, MO on the 10th. Drove to Afton, MN on the 22nd. Returned to St Louis on the 27th and drove back to NC on the 29th and 30th! Guess we set ourselves up for a wild couple of weeks when we mapped that out.
 |
| Making the most of a layover at Chicago's Ohare Airport -- dinner at Frontera, our favorite. |
 |
| Now that is a professional sandcastle! |
 |
| Learning about static electricity at The Magic House. |
 |
| A walk with Grandma to the overpass where we waved to drivers and begged truckers to honk for us. |
 |
| Between events at Christopher's swim meet. |
 |
| JAC's dance recital. I filled in as the backstage 'Mom' for her group of twelve. Jennifer had to fly to California for a job interview at the last minute. |
 |
| Edina Realty celebrated it's 60th year at a St Paul Saints baseball game. I didn't see much of the game but sure enjoyed seeing lots of friends that I had worked with. |
 |
| Who had the cherry slurpy, who had the blueberry slurpy and who just wanted to stick out his tongue? |
 |
| Gymnastics |
 | |
|
 |
| Finding good 'stuff'! |
 |
| An extra day in Minnesota gave us a chance to catch up with several friends. One overdue visit was with Georgia, my best friend 30 years ago. We lost track of each other and were reunited thanks to Facebook. So much fun to catch up on almost half of our lives. Now because of that reunion, I'm going to see my college freshmen roommate in August after no contact for 42 years! All because of Facebook. Hoping to find more of those lost friends. |
 |
| Back in Missouri in time to celebrate Jennifer's birthday with gourmet cupcakes. |
Gotta smile -- we're lovin the ride!
