ESCAPE DAY!

Today is the one year anniversary of our new life. We left Midway City the morning of the 15th of February, 2008, and headed to Solvang for a square dance weekend with Romney Tannehill. The 14th had been our last day at work, so we are also celebrating one year of retirement. How quickly the time has passed, but we are also aware of how much we have experienced and learned during the past year. We are hoping for many more years of travel and adventure.

We got an email from Terri this morning reporting that their flight back to the USA had been interrupted in the Azores on the island of Terceira, Portugal, by crew and airplane issues. They had spent all day the 14th waiting at the airport and were hoping to get on their way today.

We arrived at Usery Mountain Regional Park around noon and were put in overflow with number 10 (last year we had number 9). The number is the order in which camping sites are assigned as they open up in the morning. We set up and called Jan, who said she'd "whip something up" for dinner, so we headed over to visit her and George and catch up a bit.
