Took a flight out to California for Gary's family reunion....so glad we were able to make it. It was great to see everyone and visit some of our old stomping grounds. We met up with my Aunt Angie and Uncle Ray for dinner, and they loaned us their terrific little mini-van for the week (BIG THANK YOU once again to Angie and Ray!!!)
Stayed one night in Newport, then spent the day making the rounds around Orange County on our way out to Palm Springs where we had booked a place at the Thousand Trails RV park.
