San Fran

Much love to Gary for getting us to the airport before the break of dawn to start our amazing weekend! Got to see lots of family and friends, hear great music, celebrate Andy's 60th and fund-raiser for the Children's Book Project (they made over 3.000 in donations) and Bruce made a long drive down to see us and join in the fun. Tony took Bob to the  beach

Tony's nice car

while Vickie and I got to catch up and get ready for Friday night dinner with the traditional brisket (my mommy's recipe) we brought with us. Martha flew in from DC which was a real treat too.  Gail not only picked us up, she gave us her bed, and even took us to the airport at 5:30 in the a.m. What a gift!!

Even though we were on standby status with coupons given to us, the only way we could have done this trip at all,  we were able to get there and back with NO problems in time to leave Monday for Florence. The flight attendant even made a fun surprise announcement congratulating us on our 35th anniversary trip.  What a great start to our adventures!!
