It's a small step, but we have said our farewells to friends and places in Crescent City. Our stuff is on a moving truck (or in our car in Oregon or our pickup in Wyoming). We are in Ashland with a zonked-out Darcy and two parents very close to joining her in dreamland.
Some highlights of the day:
Watching the truck drive away from the house
Eating a last lunch from Vita Cucina
Being surrounded by good wishes from good people
Seeing Darcy Jo showered by gifts and hugs and love from her school mates
Going to the Medford Trader Joe's on its Grand Opening: that's right -- they opened the day we are leaving
A last drive along Crescent City's beautiful coast
One more drive through the redwoods on Howland Hill Road
Almost three years ago to the day (I think we arrived on October 18th and we've left on the 19th) that we first came here, we repeated some of our first stops. It has been a tremendous three years and this place has shaped who our child will be in many ways.
Tomorrow: Lake Tahoe and the kokanee salmon!
