We arrived home on April 5th. It is now April 14th and the high temperature has yet to get past the low temps we were having in Arizona. I have to admit that we spent the first several days complaining to anyone who would listen that we were cold and our tan was fading. Incredibly no one uttered a single word or sympathy for our very obvious pain. I believe that we have moved past this and are now focusing on our next adventure.
A few words on our trip home. Cold. Wind. Hail. Nevada was beautifully boring. Idaho was its' usual mix of mountains and farmland. We spent about 2 hours in Oregon. Washington gave us our first sighting of tall GREEN trees. This prompted the traditional playing of Brooks & Dunn's "Go West" ballad, several times. I think some tears were shed.
The highlight of our trip home was getting to visit with Lynda and Bob at their cabin on Lake Lenore. A bonus was seeing Ben, Louise and Alex who were visiting from their home in Seattle.
Then of course we were warmly and enthusiastically welcomed home by the family at Point Roberts. We were lucky to stay 2 nights at the Point before heading back to the Island on April 5th. It was great to see everyone!
What's up next? For Barry it is a trip to Sardinia with his cycling Team to race a 7 day Stage Race. You can bet that a new Blog is on the way for this adventure of a lifetime.
Dana is in full garden planning and cleanup mode. The weather is certainly affecting her activities. With improving weather, we hope, things will be in great shape in no time.
This brings to a close the Arizona 2011 Blog. Again, I hope everyone enjoyed reading of our Adventures as much as we enjoyed writing about them. Until next time........ "Drink it up. This one's for you. It's been a lovely cruise...." (....thanks Jimmy.....)
