Difficult to follow our sites in Utah.
Today was a short drive from Reno to Walnut Creek, site of our Pac-8 Reunion, which starts on Tuesday.
Because it was Sunday, the traffic to S.F. Bay Area was pretty heavy with the California crowd coming down from the mountain. It took us about 4 hours plus to get to Walnut Creek, plus a quick stop at the outlet mall in Vacaville to find a couple of golf shirts to wear until our hanging bags arrive from Utah.
In Reno, we had a visit with my sister's grandson and wife, Mal, who just celebrated a new baby girl. Josh's mother, Kathy—our niece— was there at the house and it was difficult to look at her and call her grandmother. I remember when she was just a little rug rat running around the house in Reno. My sister, Barb, of course is a great grandmother and proud as heck about it. The baby is really cute and Josh and Mal are so excited about the birth and addition to their family. They are living in the same house I grew up in, which is weird to walk into. Lot of memories in that house, for sure.
Bernie's nephew Douglas hosted us for dinner along with the Henderson's and Bernie's other niece, Susan, and their spouses. They live in Lafayette and we enjoyed some of the freshest and best BBQ salmon I've ever tasted.
We've had some long travels so for the first time we can sleep in tomorrow and park ourselves at the same hotel for four days, a real rarity. The weather is great and we are back in our old stomping grounds, so it should be fun the next couple of days before the reunion starts.
Happy Trails.
