Well, I’m on my two-day time in Dallas again between the Sutter Creek and Chicago portions of my vacation!
My first week went very well. I got to do a lot, and I took a lot of pictures with my new digital camera! Here’s a summary of my activities:
One of the first things I did was buy my grandmother a new computer. Seeing as her desktop was from the stone age of the early 2000’s, anything was an upgrade. I also transferred her files and photos for her. More family photos were found! I scanned in another hundred.
The rest of my family rented a house in the Sierra foothills for the family reunion. The view behind the family picture was very good:
We lounged in the pool, ate barbecue, and celebrated together.
Walker and I hiked up a very high hill and then walked down again. See how small he looks!
We also hiked around Silver Lake, a beautiful lake in the Sierras.
Before going to the airport, I got to see the outdoor portion of the Sacramento Railroad Museum and view the trains!
