Tearful Goodbyes but Amazing Memories

Chuck and I began getting ready to leave a little after 8 on Sunday morning and by 10 am we were saying our tearful good-byes to Ken and Bonnie.  Wow!  It's hard to believe we have been together and traveled together for almost half a year!  What amazing things we have seen and done together this year.  Here are a few those amazing things:

From a bike ride to Bokeelia on Pine Island in Florida...

...to a burro ride to Boquillas, Mexico.

We have been to the top of Angels Landing in Zion...

...and to the lowest point in the western hemisphere in Death Valley.

We've been as far west as the Pacific Ocean...

San Francisco

...and as far east as the Atlantic Ocean.

Bocce on the beach with Fred and Dolores at Avalon.

We have traveled as far north as Saint Andre d'Argenteuil, Quebec...

Thank you so much, Ernie & Noela!!!

...and as far south as Lovers Key, Florida.

We've seen beautiful mountains,

Top of Lost Mine Trail, Big Bend NP

Yosemite National Park

Guadalupe Mountains National Park

and some of the largest living things on the face of the earth.

Sequoia National Park

And we have shared our greatest blessings with each other:  our families!

I could go on and on and on and when I look back on these few pictures of hundreds that were taken, the memories never cease to amaze me.  We are so very, very blessed!  Blessed to be able to see so much that most people never get to see.  And these memories are extra amazing and special because they are memories created by sharing them with such wonderful friends and family.  

We're looking forward to creating and sharing many, many more!
