We usually go to lunch on Sunday with folks from our church.

Tracy actually requested to have a picture taken of him today with his first senior discount sandwich.  :)

This is part of the path we've been walking on lately.

We drive 3 miles from our house to the Apex Trailhead, park the car, and walk home.

Then we drive the other car to pick up the one we left behind.

It's a little weird, but it's such a nice walk that it's worth the inconvenience.

I haven't been able to talk Tracy into making it a 6-mile round trip walk.  :)

This is definitely not the best photograph, but if you click on the image to enlarge it,

you'll see how incredible the moon was this evening, 

with the clouds surrounding it and the mountains underneath.

We went by Tracy's office this afternoon to pick up some papers he needed before heading out for a walk,

and Jed immediately got on the computer.

Life father, like son.

The flight home was pleasant. 

Tracy picked us up at the airport, and had also picked up a birthday cake for Jed,

which was a nice surprise.

Happy Birthday, Jed!

Since tomorrow is Jed's birthday, and also the day we're leaving to go home, 

we took Jed out for a birthday dinner tonight.

We got accosted by geese trying to leave the parking lot.  :)

We had a little cake for Jed when we got home.

 Brad gave me these flowers before I left Charlotte.
That boy has been making me cry for 35 years.
(in the very best way)

After helping with the grandchildren in Charlotte for a week, 

I headed to Portsmouth to spend a few days with my parents

(Jed had been staying with them while I was helping). 

We headed to Smithfield Station for lunch, which has become something of a tradition on our visits to Virginia.

I didn't get a picture of the bacon-wrapped scallops, but this shot is pretty good.  :)

This is what we were traveling for!  

Brad and Jenn had baby #4 a little over a week ago.

I am so proud of this little family.  :)

Jed loves traveling as much as I do. :)

We caught the train in Golden so early in the morning it was still dark.

The sun rose while we were on the way to the Denver airport.
