We're going HOME!

We are sitting in the Sacramento airport waiting to board. We originally were going to drive from Yosemite to Sacramento early this morning to catch our flight. The first night we were in Yosemite, we had some bug "issues" - major ant attack while we were on the back porch of the house eating dinner and then the girls found several large bugs in their room before they went to bed. Ab woke us up about 3:30 saying that she couldn't sleep because there were so many bugs. I got into the double bed with the two of them for a bit to help her fall asleep. The next day, I called them the Mexican Jumping Beans because they would both start to fall asleep and then would startle awake thinking that bugs were on there (or maybe they actually were). The next night we had the mouse in the house incident. In talking with the owners, they have the view that they live in the country and they don't like to kill anything - even in the house. Hmmm... It was to the point where when we left for the day for Yosemite, we came back and there were spider webs in the kitchen just from when we had left before. We figured we needed a bugless/rodentless night sleep, and so we used some of Jerry's AmEx points to get a hotel in Sacramento. Jerry said if he wanted to sleep with bugs and rodents, we would have camped...and we all know what Jerry thinks about camping. It turned out to be a great decision because Old Historic Sacramento is a fun place. We walked along the Sacramento River last night and enjoyed walking around in the historic district for awhile.

We have had a GREAT trip! It is cool to think about how initially we all had to learn to "enjoy" one another in smaller spaces and sharing a bathroom...12 days later we are really good at it, and have practiced great teamwork (think about moving to 6 different locations with all of our STUFF!), and have enjoyed wonderful fellowship with each other. What a blessing from the Lord this time together has been!

Thanks for following us...we can't wait to catch up with all of you when we get home....

We're leaving on a jet plane...(sorry, I couldn't resist the John Denver, that song always goes through my head when I'm traveling!)
