Return Trip Home.... Leg One... US 101N

Made the decision to go the longer route to Grants Pass... Glad we did... Peeked at the Giant Redwoods and then the Pacific Ocean... Had a great lunch (which ended up another breakfast for us cuz the menu looked so good) at Willets...

Oh... forgot to show what our fabulous chef prepared the night before.... yup some New York Steaks BBQ'd... starting off with a Coconut Curried Cheese Ball (it's in Book 2)... Nummy, Nummy, Nummy!

Tomorrow we head to Eugene to meet up with Dale Bruegger (family relative) and Keri for lunch before we get back on the road for Fircrest!

My Special Wine glass from Julie... cuz of the Diva I am!!!

Yes, I do eat beef....

Good bye sweet cottage... you took good care of us!

Isn't this a great road to start your trip with... quiet and peaceful... even saw some deer...
