Thistle Dew Too: Bye, Bye Motel ... Hello Greg!

There was a slim chance that our RV would be finished Friday afternoon. But if anything went amiss, they would not be able to get the painting finished or the ladder re-attached. At the same time, our son Greg would only be home this weekend, before jetting back off to China. So we decided to check out early Friday morning.

Carol was able to get a wall hanging finished (so it wasn't wasted time in the motel), and we also had a very patient dragonfly let us take some photos of him before we departed.

We drove the rental car up to see Greg in Santa Clara, CA. We thought about taking the Pacific Coast Highway, but that would take a long time, and even worse, it is closed in sections due to land slides and a bridge that has to be replaced. So up the I-5 it was. Not a bad ride all things considered, and pretty scenic in a few areas.

A quick stop in Greg's apartment, where we noted the Marimekko Trapunto wall-hanging that Carol made right after we were married, and gave to Greg many years ago. A little faded, but still "hanging in there." ;-) Then off to dinner somewhere on Santana Row, where it was really hopping Friday night.
