Day 9 - Crescent City - Golden Celebration - June 23, 2007

We got up at 7 and headed to town. We helped Rebecca set up, decorate, and fix food for the folks' anniversary reception. Mom T came and helped us set up too - thanks Mom!
Check out Rebecca's ingenious "cooler". There's a sheet of insulation board under the boat. The boat is filled with ice and meat/cheese platters. More ice on top. Wrapped in plastic and there was another sheet of insulation on top. Worked great.
We finished there about 7 p.m. (though I brought the little ones home at 5:30).

We ran over to the folks' and had a last visit with everyone. We plan to leave here for Springfield, OR in the a.m. I have a few photos to finish printing and drop off at G's....and the boys have reported that they forgot to bring the row boat back up to the house...I'm guessing we AREN'T going to get out of here by 9:00 a.m.
Good-byes are hard! We've been blessed to have this time together.

What a beautiful photo! We went to Eric's grandparents 50th and it was pretty amazing. I'd love to make it that far someday...lol

Wonderful photos of Mike's m & d. What a joy I'm sure it was for them to have you all there.

Yes, I love the cooler! My mom used to host very large parties through a ski group, and they would mix salads in 35 gallon garbage bags, lol.

I'm enjoying following you on your travels. The scenery is gorgeous, and I know it will only get more stunning and you head north. :)

Was a fun day and time in Crescent City. Glad to have been of help and glad I found dishes.

Wonder how it went when Rebecca told the rental place that they messed up. :):):)
