Aboard Southwest Airlines Flight #598 to Oakland, now in Portland. Our day started early at home, then drove to Spokane's airport, parked the truck, boarded the plane, and here we are! On our way to visit Diane's parents in Ventura, Ca. Niece Kathryn, and the rest of Diane's California family for the "holiday". We both realize they have not that many years left with us, and we've not spent many holidays with her side of the family, thus this trip.
Pleasant, as always, these Southwest Airlines flights.
My journal (electronic) entry for the day:
Early morning, up at 5:15, left the house @ 7:40 for Spokane Airport. Spokane to Los Angeles, via Portland & Oakland on Southwest Airlines. With an hour delay out of Oakland. Up to Diane's parents @ 8:00 pm for dinner. Staying at the Hampton Inn Chanel Islands Harbor. Dead tired, good night!Location: 45.590177,-122.598176
That's our Hertz rental car, the red one, in front of us. We're in Gene and Pat's new Subaru Forrester about to take a road trip. Gene at 84 still does a great job, thankfully, driving. We're headed to Ojai... exploring.

Our dining room, that "favorite" breakfast/brunch has now came to be known as "Egg McNelson's". We're about to sit down to the meal. Just outside each window are our bird feeders. We are able to share the meal, while watching the tweeties enjoy their meal at the same time.
