Uncle Nancy & Aunt Sandy Join the Ride






Today was really a humptulip day. George and I went out to dinner last night at a very nice restaurant where he had lamb chops and I had a pasta dish with mushrooms, dried tomatoes, and spinach. Around 3:00am I woke up with a migraine. Things plummeted from there. I thought vegetarians could not get food poisoning. Wild mushrooms? George asked for a late checkout and I scraped myself together and we finally on the road to Fortuna around 11:45. As awful as it was and continues to be....it is not a broken wrist or ankle. There will not be pictures.

We are now in Fortuna awaiting the arrival of Sandy and Nancy. They are joining for the final leg of our journey. We are sharing a suite at Comfort Inn which means lots of laughs and hopefully some good pictures. More later.

Today, August 26th 2009 is Ben and Elizabeth Platt's 3's anniversary! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! WE LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!!!! The only picture I could find for today was this one of Ben, Liz, and my nephew Greg.


Sandy and Nancy didn't get here until 8:30 after a very long drive. We went to dinner at a brewery, where I still did not feel like eating, and Nancy is now doing real estate work. Funny story though. When they got to the room they brought this 19 gallon bottle of vodka. Sandy mixed them drinks, vodka and tonic (diet tonic which I totally don't get!) and we walked to the restaurant. They hadn't finished their drinks before we got there so they brought the cups in with them. The waitress comes up to the table and asks Sandy if there was water in his cup and he said yes. She asked if she could smell it and he said, so sweetly, yes. She took and big whiff and said," oh good, you wouldn't believe the things people try to sneak in here." It was hysterical! The drink had been 90% vodka. Anyway, we fooled her and ordered a pitcher of beer. Great dinner by the way, wish I had felt better.....Jenson
