We know Chester wants a new motorcylce. Dennis suggested this might be a perfect solution for them! Chester and Julie can ride on the bike and put the 2 boys in the side car. PRESTO! Room for everyone. Seriously, Julie, you should look into this to make your husband a happy man.
The next 2 are self explanatory..... too bad it was almost dark so the pictures didn't turn out too well.
Dennis found an unlimited number of beautiful rocks to bring home from this trip!
Some of the interesting building we saw on this trip. I enjoyed the architecture and colors.
Such a beautiful drive on the Avenue of The Giants
! Treees, trees, everywhere!
Patti and Dennis in the hollowed portion of a tree!
Dennis standing on a fallen tree.
How about this one? The hollowed out part goes all the way through! You could ride a horse through this one!
The coast of California
and the ocean are so beautiful!
This is one of the giant redwoods, privately owned, that you can drive a car through.
And here is the same tree with our car coming through it!
The Benbow Inn where we stayed. It is a lovely historic hotel with charming grounds and incredible antique furniture. We dined in the Benbow restuarant, attached, and had a fabulous meal with the most tender filet mignon I have ever tasted. Creme Brulee for dessert is my favorite! Yummy!
Friday morning Sept 26, I drove to Bountiful to pick up Colleen. Soon Jill arrived and we drove together to the SLC airport to meet Kathleen's plane. Then off we went to get our pedicures.
Colleen, Kathleen and Jill (I am taking the picture
) getting pedicures together!
After pedicures came lunch at a resturant in Centerville. It was so much fun I can't even remember what the name of the place was!
Jill and Colleen
Patti and Kathleen
After spending a night in the Homestead Inn in SLC we walked through a craft fair and then drove to Malad for the reunion.
Colleen, Kathleen, Peggy, Jill anbd Patti. All back together again for the first time since high school! We had so much fun. 51 class members attended!
We are having fun dreaming about our new home in Ivins, Ut. Even though we don't live there full time, we love it there. The red rocks and red mountains are just beautiful! Right now, Kent and Brittney live there and are telling us all about their every day adventures! I've ordered a "Please remove your shoes." sign from "Saying It Simply". They are great about designing and making to order whatever you need. Check out their site at http://sayingitsimply.blogspot.com/
We recently bought some new furniture and had the fun of setting it up and getting it ready for sleep overs! I love this log bed and guess what? We found it on Craig's list!
Yippe for good deals!
The matching dresser.............
And the western style dining set for the kitchen.
Gotta love those star cutouts in the chairs!
