Phil comes to visit

For the second year in a row, Phil comes to visit from Germany. We immediately introduce him to nonsense games.

We take SRC, Dany and the Gs to see Crow Mountain Farm. We meet Steve and Abbie and scale Mount Crow. We also greet the baby Milos as we walk the muddy fields. Granddad is amused by our mud removal party as he snaps pictures.

Mudless, we retreat to the Casino for a really nice dinner.

Dinkel wedding reception and weekend in KC

We have a fun weekend in KC beginning with Will and Jess' wedding reception where old friendships are stoked. On the way back to the hotel in Westport, we stop at a dueling piano bar where we dive into a fishbowl.

The next day, we go to the Nelson-Adkins Museum and the WWI Museum at Liberty Memorial. Both museums were amazing.

Yep, the 4th of July is always lots of fun in Potwin Place. We invite people from all over to join the fun. Heather flies in from New York.

Happy 4th of July

SRC moves from Palo Alto - July 1, 2008

After 9 years of living in California and 4 years with Google, SRC decided to leave both. Dan flew to California to help her pack her apartment and drive home.

She gives away stuff:

and either brings home, or stores the rest

until her apartment is empty.

She says her goodbyes to some dear friends before we hit the road.

We travel to Yosemite National Park where we have a scenic and tasty meal

and then awaken to spectacular natural wonders:

Then onward to Kansas. We mostly travel 2 lane highways and enjoy seeing very interesting scenery along the way.

We see July snow in Nevada and amazing vistas in Utah.

We stop in Denver for a late night drink with Tony.
After three and a half days (and 1858 miles) we arrive home in time to join Helen and friends as we begin the Potwin 4th of July celebration with the 3rd of July Street Dance:
Fun!
