Vacation - Beach Reunion
I went to California for two weeks in July 2016, to visit my Daughter Melissa and her boyfriend Earl, the cats, my son Martin and my Mom.

It was a great visit with three of my kids and my three grandsons. I live with my oldest daughter and she has three daughters, one who does not live with us, but lives a few blocks away so we see her often.
I went to see my Mom two times. It was a good visit. My daughter Justine went to visit her as she had not seen her in 10 years. Mom is now age 86 and lives in a care center for the last few years.
Mom and me the first day I flew into Petaluma area.

It was awesome to see our cats also. Now my son is living in the apartment where I used to live with Melissa and her BF Earl. So Melissa and Earl moved out so they could go to college and my son takes care of the three cats for awhile.
Batman and Robin just turned 4 years old.

I had a Reunion with Jan from Redwood High School at a Restaurant in Petaluma.
It has been 48 years since High School Graduation!
Then I was home and planning on my next trip to my old home in Sequim, Washington on the Olympic Peninsula. I lived there 6 years. Part of the time I lived with a friend for 5 months after I got out of the hospital in 2009 - 2010. I moved back to California with Melissa in 2011.
I did not get a photo of me and Linda but I did get a few of Sequim.
First I stayed with my daughter Justine. We took photos of her produce. She is an awesome gardener just as my daughter Suzanne is.
Yellow and Zucchini squash
Heirloom tomatoes, chilis and tiny tomatoes

I always loved the fact they had these hanging baskets of flowers every year for about 6 months of the year in Sequim on the down town streets.
My son in law George as we dropped him off at the Olympic Mountain trails to hike for 4 days and nights. Here he is with his youngest daughter Hannah. She was there for the photo. He hiked alone.

So pretty up on the Olympic Mountains!

The sun was on this side of the car. I was going to get out and take a photo of my old apartment, but the current resident came out so I did not get out of the car. back porch where I had my hanging flowers and flower pots.

Smoke all around the area of Sequim from the first day of the fire. View from Linda's mobile home park.
