We met Brianna and went to IHop for breakfast. She looked great and it was fun talking to her about her college life. Brianna recently was nominated and received the "Sweetheart" award from a local fraternity. She was the first freshman to receive this honor. It came as a complete surprise to her, but getting to know what she values in life, it was no surprise to us. After breakfast, we got to visit her dorm room and meet her roommate. We then got to take Brianna to her 1:00 P.E. class and she looked very cute all dressed for her activities. Brianna is very well organized and to see her in this realm made us feel very proud of her. She is a very special person and has a very strong set of values. Nancy and I were upset with each other, as we forgot to take our camera with us, but left with very fond memories of our beloved granddaughter.
We headed west toward the Colorado River and spent the night at the Avi Casino RV Park, near Needles, CA. We had previously spent two nights here at the beginning of our trip. Our route was to get to I-5 ASAP as we were not feeling any better. We made it as far as Visalia, CA and spent the night. "Up an at em" the next morning, we drove to Corning, CA and spent the night for FREE in the Rolling Hills Casino truck parking lot. We had dinner at the casino and had a good night sleep before leaving for Sunriver, OR early in the morning. We needed to make a stop at Gordy’s in LaPine, OR to dump our black, grey, and fresh water tanks. The temperature was still in the low 20’s at night in Sunriver and we wanted to make sure that TREK would not freeze up. We arrived safely at our home around 2:30 in the afternoon and could not wait to get a hot shower, a soak in the tub, and to sleep in our bed.
Although we had to cut our trip short because of weather and our health issues, we really had a great time, saw some absolutely beautiful country, and met some very interesting people. More important, Nancy and I really enjoy having the opportunity to travel and see the country together in our cozy quarters. We continue to learn so much about our diversified population and cultural heritage of our country. Being out in the real world truely exposes you to what makes America such a great place to live. We both place a very high value on our relationship and getting to spend this time together is very important to both of us.
Thank you all for following us during this time period in our lives. We both hope you have enjoyed seeing the pictures and traveling with us. We have enjoyed hearing from many of you and your prayers. You inspire us to keep our blog rolling and updated with our adventures..
We appreciate and love all of you!
