Nine More Days!!!

The reason for this trip besides Mother/Daughter fun and excitement is that Mom and I both need this.  Over this past year we have suffered along with my Dad through his illness.  Then we lost him and had to bury his ashes.  We did that on Friday.  We actually lowered him into the ground.  It is a strange feeling.  That part of our mourning is over and now we get to go on this amazing trip in 9 days!  I am so blessed to have a Mom that is willing to take me along for the ride!  :)  I am including a picture of my Dad's final resting place.  He is with his parents, close by is the mausoleum where my brother Jeff is.  He is in a lovely quiet place, with a carpet of wild strawberries.  How cool is that?
