Another Grandbaby!

I have some good news I can finally share.
This is an official announcement that we are grandparents again!
Terry's son Shaun and girlfriend Amanda, who live in Portland OR had a son, named Brody Shaun.



Of course, Terry is chomping at the bit to see his new grandbaby boy. We planned to drive up 2 weeks ago, something came up, so we had to cancel. As it turned out, Terry had a job walk and measure at a grocery store owned by Kroger in Richmond, CA a suburb of Oakland. YAY, a day's work! It couldn't have worked out more perfect to coincide with our drive to Portland.

Here's the plan of our quickie turn around road trip:

Thursday May 14 - leave before the butt crack of dawn to beat LA traffic, arrive early afternoon Berkeley BART station, park the car and BART over to SF, spend a couple hours toodleing around SF, eat dinner at Fisherman's Wharf area. Early evening BART back over to Berkeley BART station to get the car, drive the 1/2 hour to our hotel in Richmond.

Friday May 15 - Terry works 6am until lunch or whenever he finishes up the store measure/walk, while I stay at the hotel. Drive 10 hours to Portland, OR.

Saturday May 16 & Sunday May 17 - Visit all day with Shaun, Amanda and baby.

Monday May 18 - Drive 10 hours to Tracy CA (South of Sacramento), check in hotel.

Tuesday May 19th - Drive 7 hours to home.

I wish we could take our time to visit more days or see relatives along the way, but this is a time and money crunch visit. Terry has a ton of work applications out there, and we would hate to miss an opportunity of a call back.

I'll post some pix when we return.
Now, if I could just remember where I put our travel toothbrushes.
