Winding down

Just a few more photos to catch up on the last couple of days of our trip.

We drove by on the way out of town and got a few more shots of the Palace of Fine Arts.












I liked these tiled steps going into a house nearby.































Hannah collected water for her science project when we stopped at a beach along the coast road. It wasn't working too well with shoes on, so off they came. Hope her mom doesn't get upset when she sees these!

With Rich's sister, Vesta












We took Hannah and her friend Maria out for lunch at a Mexican place.



We arrived in Mariposa yesterday afternoon to deliver Hannah back home and to visit with Rich's ex-wife Joy and family. We had a lot of fun with grandkids Hayden, (twins) Emily and Cody, and new baby Buddy along with Rich's stepkids Sara and William and William's wife Stephanie. Nana Jean filled us up with some great homemade soup and bread. Today we picked up Hannah and her friend Maria so we could hang out with them a little bit, had some lunch and did a little bit of browsing in some of the local shops before taking them back home and saying our goodbyes.

We are hoping for an early start tomorrow morning, going back to San Francisco for one more night and then flying all the way to Anchorage on Tuesday. Hopefully we will not have any big trouble getting home to Unalaska on Wednesday. Another vacation draws to a close! We always love our trips, visiting people and new places and having some relaxing time. It's always good to go home, though, and we are about ready to get back to our routine, see how our cats are doing, check the big box of mail that's waiting for us, and settle in to our regular life on our little island.
