Hi, Again I downloaded the pictures backwards. This picture was taken at Jack's father's favorite restaurant, the Claim Jumper in Scottsdale. I'm holding my grand nephew, Jacob (5 1/2 months), our Niece, Erika with our grand niece, Katelyn (5 years old and just started K), Jack's brother George and Jack. Along with our nephew, Casey and Erika's husband Erin, we climbed up the Phoenix Mountains Park & Rec Area and scattered Jack's parent's ashes, along with some of Jes's. It was a long climb up that overlooked Scottsdale and Phoenix but it was where John wanted to be scattered with Aggie. This area will never be developed so it's comforting to know their ashes will never be disturbed. We brought flowers and read a poem. Ending the evening at the restaurant was a wonderful way of remembering them. 
Here our friends Mandy and Ryan. He had just come home in his Navy uniform and he is studying to be a PA. We had a great Mexican dinner with them and watched a beautiful sunset with Seals on the beach. It was great seeing them. We also had dinner with Norm the night before. It was great to see him in his hometown. We will see him again at Fantasy Fest.
We spent 3 days in San Francisco. We took a double decker bus tour of SF, walked up to Coit Tower, a boat tour that went under the Golden Gate Bridge and around Alcatraz and a 4 hour Safari-like bus tour of SF and a tour of Alcatraz. We are at the top of Twin peaks and can see from the Golden Gate Bridge to Oakland. Berkeley is just above our head.
We are on our way home and we are in Van Horn, Texas. We are headed for Austin, TX and then New Orleanes. We have just been on the go and having a great time. Again, this country is BIG and there is so much to see. Should be home for Poker Run. Later, Love Gail
