Last year after Tom retired we were to take a long vacation but it never happened........so this past November when our nephew decided to get married in April we decided to take that long vacation then .......the wedding was in Scottsdale Arizona.......when the wedding was over we headed west to visit some of our favorite places in California and then head back East on the way home and see the kids in their new home in Glenwood Springs Colorado ......... we did it and 4,000 miles later arrived home and a week later I left for Newton Kansas for Art Camp ...
these are a few highlights of the trip.....first was the wedding weekend with family and all kinds of luncheons, brunches, rehearsal dinner and the wedding.....we had so much fun, met so many new relatives from all over ( Spain and Norway) and enjoyed this happy couple tie the knot......
after the wedding we headed west to Santa Barbara to spend time with some friends and then went north to my home town San Luis Obispo to spend a couple days just goofing off and enjoying some good ole SLO weather.......,the hills are so green and lush with all of the rain California has had this past winter..
absolutely gorgeous.....this is what it use to look like when I was growing up but with the drought for years I know this is a welcome sight for all..
lunch in morro bay at our favorite fish restaurant.......
dinner and dessert at one of our favorite restaurants in San Luis..Giseppees! If you are ever in San Luis you have got to eat here....it's incredible!
We then headed east to the kids and saw a lot of different terrain along the way and weather.....
we made it to Colorado and it snowed the entire time we were there but had the best time seeing our kids and their new home and new puppy.......GUS!
They bought 10 acres with a huge shop.......so now Adam can do his leatherwork and has a climbing wall as well..............
He loves this dog..............can you tell.........
anyway we left and headed back to Oklahoma to get ready for my 2 classes in Kansas........since this post is so long I think I will wait until tomorrow to post about camp....hope I didn't bore you too much with family vacation and photos ........
Hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day..
have a great monday and week...........
