We have enjoyed more family time this past week with Jim and the girls and Colleen and Jim's family. Christmas dinner was yummy with a Montana ham and lots of other goodies including two of Jim's pies; apple and pecan. All good things revolve around food it seems.
We missed our original departure time by about sixteen hours. We came home from Seattle on Christmas day and crashed; then arose at 4:30 to dismantle the Christmas trees, empty the refrigerator and finish loading the motor home. We left Steilacoom at 11:30 yesterday and finally stopped north of Redding at about nine last night. That is a long tiring day. Ken can't seem to remember that we are retired and don't have to race to our destination. He has a lot more stamina than I when it comes to driving, but he was concerned about getting over the Siskiyous.
We are now within forty miles of Travis AFB where we will set up camp for about a week. Departure from home is always hectic, and lots of stuff just gets "dumped" into the MH, so I can't wait to get stopped and organize my life. Stopping and sleeping while enroute is more difficult than it used to be with the Brave since we lose about 12" in the width of our bed and we can't get into most of the kitchen cabinets. But this is the first major road trip so we will adjust as time goes on.
Happy New Year to all. Ciao
