Labor day weekend, the unofficial end to summer, and a moment of reflection on the summer that was. For us, it began on June 25, when we left Newport to drive to Los Angeles; arriving 5500 miles later. We enriched our view of the United States, still having seen only a small part of what the country has to offer. For my part, the greatest change was the west. It’s natural beauty and sheer vastness. It truly has a different scale of time, distance and size. It is hard to pinpoint the singular moments and places that most touched us.

It also marked our 40 wedding anniversary; a milestone that we were able to enjoy in a different way; crossing the country to see our children and grandchildren.
