Happy birthday to Jack! Don’t you know that’s why we have grandkids? So we can brag about them. 😀

It is sunny and 54° in the Bay Area of California this morning, our home for the next couple weeks. It was so foggy when we crossed the Golden Gate Bridge last night, you could hardly see 100 feet, but was very clear when we reached the north end. Plan to walk to Farmer’s market this morning to find something fresh.

We ran into that 4 hour window with SW in the past. That’s why we would either do a day use hotel, or stay an extra day and fly early the next day. This trip was easy, because we had a 10:35 direct flight, and we had plenty of time to spare after walking off. And I didn’t even have to start a “can I make a 10:35 flight?” Thread. 🤔

My daughter’s school had a large police presence this morning, after the events from yesterday. Meanwhile, we are waiting in Cleveland for our delayed flight. A few pics from the airport. They heavily market the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

If everyone’s family was like the extended family we have here, the world would be a much better place! Had a great grandparents day at the grandkid’s school today. Breakfast with granddaughter and lunch with grandson. Now we are packing again, this time for California. Looking forward to seeing our other grandson tomorrow night. Son has a two week business trip to France, Germany, and Amsterdam, so we will take care of getting grandson to and from school for his last couple of weeks. I am sure Susan and I will get some walking in.

@Luckynana Maryann, So sorry to read this about baby Ginny.

Speaking of……. I took the new John Sanford book, “The Investigator” as reading material while cruising last week. The main character is Letty Davenport (Lucas’s daughter). It was a good read, and I can see him developing more in a series with her character.

Well, I am absolutely exhausted after all the storm cleanup. Five hours yesterday after we got home, plus ten hours today, but all the cleanup is done. Of course, that includes doing some cleanup work at a 90 YO neighbor’s house when I saw her out working. Anyone want a custom fastback Lincoln? One of the trees from the storm did the work on it I knew we should have planned more time between trips. We have breakfast with our granddaughter at the school tomorrow, then lunch with our grandson at the school. Then we come home and pack. Flight to California is Wednesday morning from Cleveland. Ready for summer of fun 2.0 as we bring our California grandson back to Pa.

Prayers for baby Ginny. It always breaks my heart to see children in the Children’s hospital. They should be healthy and happy, and not have to deal with the things that they have to.

We booked Voyager for October 16, 2022 when we were onboard. We plan to drive to Boston, since it is only about 9 hours.

That was one of my comments in the post cruise survey. It was so strong, you could smell it as soon as you came out of the dining room.
