​A short 2-1/2 hour drive got us to the final stop in the first leg of our trip. Angie will lay over with the trailer and dogs in the company of a couple of her closest friends from her Navy days – Carri and Tracy. Carri is hosting us in her beautiful home there. After relaxing for a couple of nights, Hank will board a plane for LA to help Madeline pack up after final exams at Chapman and drive her Subaru station wagon to Seattle. 

We enjoyed pizza and beer with Carri and played with the dogs at the dog park. After a light dinner, we watched half of “Death on the Nile” – a slickly produced Agatha Christie tale, directed by Kenneth Branagh. Made it to the discovery of the body before turning in from exhaustion.
