What a great weekend with a quick drive to Penn Valley to visit Ryan and Rebecca, Tyler, Alyssa and Connor. Although it rained the entire time and the wind blew, it was exciting. We rarely see rain in sunny southern Cal, so it was nice! The landscaping is all in and the pool is filled, so their work is complete, and it is just gorgeous. Sweat equity pays off! Now if they can keep the water out of the laundry room, life will be good.

We left Friday at 3 pm and arrived at our hotel nine hours later. Saturday we had fun around the house with everyone. Sunday was great with Tyler's ordination and then we had to drive home, leaving again at 3 pm and arriving nine hours later. The rain and traffic didn't slow us down much.
