Home time

After Calico we heading home to catch up and take care of some personal family

obligations. We had some highs and lows during our month long stay in Ca. We had a relaxing few days enjoying the sunsets in the Fresno area while our Jessie enjoyed Millerton Lake.

Next we made it down to Long Beach to visit with our youngest daughter while she competes in the Miss America Organization. Thrilled to report this year she was crowned Miss Culver City and will be competing once again for the title of Miss California!

While driving in Los Angeles, we stumbled upon the Space X offices.

As we headed home we stopped at our first Cracker Barrel and had lunch. Our first experience was amazing. We were seated at a table immediately. A short minute later we placed our order and started diving into some excellent biscuits. One bite later, our lunch arrived. It was soo quick. We decided to order a Cracker Barrel Sampler plate to share and it was more food than we could finish.

If I do say so myself, the chicken was the best as well as the apples.

A few days later, we went to Chowchilla to help our son move. We stayed at The Lakes RV in Chowchilla https://thelakesrv.com/. If you like to golf, this place is great because you get Complimentary Golf for 2 people per site per night! We are not golfers but this sounds like a great deal. Unfortunately we were so busy with family in the 2 days we were there, we didn’t get any pictures.

After Chowchilla, my husband and I went different directions. He went to Fresno, while I caught the train to go to Emeryville. I got to visit my daughter and see the area where she lives.

My trip was cut short and didn’t even get to stay 24 hours. I was immediately called home so my daughter and I drove 4 and a half hours home to discover that our beloved Jessie had taken a turn medically and our family had to make the difficult decision to put Jessie down. He was our beloved pet for 12 years and we loved him so much. He had some health issues and we were uncertain how he would do “on the road” He did amazing and seemed to live him best life on the road. His last 6 months, he gave us 3 health scares so we knew that this was the time. There are so many things we could say about Jessie. He was a confidant, a cuddle-buddy, and above all, a best friend to anyone and everyone. If you’ve followed our blog, you know the amazing adventures we shared with him. Our travels will never be the same without him. He was an amazing co-pilot and seeing the world through his eyes is one of the things I think we will miss the most.

A few days later, we got to celebrate our daughter in law with a baby shower for our first grandchild. Her shower was a beautiful brunch and she was showered with so much love from her friends and family.

Stayed tuned as we get back on the road as true empty nesters. We are hitting the road for Cleveland Ohio. Hit the subscribe button below to follow along with us.
