Leave Luray, VA for Omaha, NE
Slept in a little bit…Kathie and Jim canoed down to the cabin for coffee. Had to be out of the cabin by noon, so went over to Stonewall Crossing for lunch. I ran into downtown (Luray, VA) to the post office to send back 3 posters for my classroom. Luray was very nice. Luray is a neat little community. Left for Reagan National at approx. 2:15 and returned the rental car and checked in by about 5:15. We flew home with little problem. The AC in the house was turned off for the trip…so it took a while to cool down the house. Not a whole lot else to report…it was a fantastic week with so many treasured experiences.
Thoughts / Observations
• Midwest Airlines was great…when possible, I need to fly Midwest in the future! Wider seats and chocolate chip cookies are just a couple of things that stood out for me!
• After this week, I am exhausted and need to get some sleep. Will relax tomorrow at the lake I am sure.
• School starts a week from Monday on Aug 18th with students the following Thursday. I have a lot to do before now and then.
• I am now reading 1776 by David McCullough…the guy sitting ‘kitty corner’ from me was reading the same book…how crazy.
• I venture to guess that if a person was told that they would be traveling with his 'in-laws' and spending a week with his wife's relatives that he might get a little nervous. Obviously that person would not have married into the Watson/Pollard family because this trip has been absolutely fantastic. The trip was fun, relaxing, interesting, and thoroughly enjoyable! Thank you Jill and thanks also go out to Barb, Jim, Kathleen, Jim, Kathie, Chris, Elizabeth, Sara, Jaime, 'boys', and extended Pollard clan...it was fantastic!
