July 23
I had promised to start this at the beginning of our travels and here we are at the beginning of week 2 and I have just figured it out.  Hopefully, it will be better going forward.  Short synopsis of the trip so far...  We started out on Monday 7/15.  I was a zombie and slept through most of the day having way overextended the day before.  Our first stop was in Clifton CO outside Grand Junction and it was just a place to sleep.  Day two had us going through Utah and some of our favorite views on I-70.



Stop # 2 was in Beaver UT, another place to sleep.  Then on to Las Vegas.  We had hoped to see Love again but poor planning put it out of financial reach so we opted instead for a really bad Johnny Depp movie.  107 degrees outside and it only went down to 92 at night.  REALLY glad to leave.

Then finally reached the San Diego area.  We spent then next four days visiting with family.  Raphael and Lilia kept us busy.  We played marathon dominoes followed by a day at the races (a first for Steve, and a first time in 30 years for Sherry).  We both won a bit which made a very fun day even more so.  A long walk on the beach completed a really nice visit (plus we made our plans for going together on an Alaskan cruise at the end of August). 

Sunday evening was spent visiting with my cousin Debbie, Bob, Vanessa and my Aunt Marge.  It had been way too long since our last visit and this one way too short but it was wonderful getting caught up even a little.

Back on the road on Monday as we made our way north to LA.  A bad drive any time but really challenging for Steve pulling the RV.  But the day ended with dinner with my best friend, Suzanne, and Jeff.  We always feel immediately at home with them both so it was a wonderful relaxing evening.

So that brings us up to date.Today is a relaxing day with me trying to figure this out, ending with dinner with our friends Doug and Katie.  Tomorrow points us North and on to adventure.
