It's been two years since we made a visit to Aunt Kathy and Uncle Chuck in Vernon. As we finished our hiking and beach camping this summer, the girls said, "Can we please make trip to see Aunt Kathy and Uncle Chuck?" We did some thinking and planning, and we were able to plan a long weekend from Friday to Monday night. We rented a Hyundai Santa Fe (a free upgrade from the standard size we reserved) and made the eleven-hour drive on Friday. Oh yes, it's a ten-hour drive when you don't travel with a dog. But we took Winston, and he did great. Aunt Michelle, Joanna and Kasey and Cole met us on Saturday. Thanks to Aunt Kathy and Uncle Chuck for their hospitality, their patience and most of all, their love.
Here are some photos of our trip...

Homemade pizza without sauce, and accident that turned into a tradition
