Sunday - July 24

 Hello from San Francisco as I write this on Sunday afternoon.   We were up and checked out of our hotel by 4:30 AM and flew from DC (Dulles) to San Fran.    When flying stand by, we weren't sure which city would work best and have seats available but originally had 3 options (Chicago, San Francisco, Seattle)?     We have a flight tonight to Anchorage, but by the time we land and with all the time changes, it will feel like 3:30 AM (barring no delays, etc.)......tomorrow....a day of rest!
 
When we landed in San Fran, got this picture from Annette.....made my day!
 
All snuggled up and 4 days old!
 
And while we are so thankful for our healthy new grandbaby, we grieve for Michael and Brooke's long-time friends and neighbors whose 16-year old daughter died suddenly early Wednesday morning of a pulmonary embolism.   I cannot imagine the pain of losing a child.....our hearts are breaking for them.    Sally was a classmate of Drew's (grade ad high school).   Today is her funeral.
 
There are nice work stations here at the airport, so Mark and I have a little area set up with our laptops and can charge them, phones, fitbit, I-pad, etc.    It was a 5-hour trip from DC and another 5-hours going to Anchorage!    We are 3,000 miles away!
 
View from where we are sitting - pretty mountains in the distance and clear blue skies

That's the latest for now - off to Alaska we go!
