We got home Monday night.

An interesting thing about this trip is in 2004 on a 2 week vacation we drove 4308 miles in the motorhome we had then.  This year on a 12 week trip we drove the motorhome 5009 miles, plus 2130 on the car we towed.
This is an overview of the trip.

Home Weekend – Saturday March 25, 2012

We were at home this weekend.  Saturday we went to the 5th Avenue/at the ACT Theater to see a play. A friend of Brian’s had the lead, “First Date”, it was really funny and a joy to watch.

Sunday was spent at home working around the house. 
1) finished Jean’s Christmas bookcase
2) trimmed the four hedge things in the front yard
3) washed the roof of the motorhome

Here’s what a hedge thing is, I have never been into plant names.

Visitors – Monday March 12, 2012

We are about to be visited.
Star Ship Enterprise is about of visit Enumclaw.

This was an all Washington weekend at home.

Bottle and a half of Chateau St. Michelle Cabernet Sauvignon, Indian Wells 2010 ( Safeway has Washington wines on sale 30% off with additional 10% with six or more bottles) and a can of Cougar Gold (dated 2002).

Also worked on one of Jean’s Christmas presents, custom bookcase for her office. Oh, by the way Jean is getting old, married for 38 years this week.

Oops, 2 bottles of Chateau St. Michelle Carbernet Sauvignon, Indian Wells 2010. I think 2010 is actually better then 2008 and 2009.
