So Elizabeth came to the mainland for two weeks to ski and did so in Utah, Colorado, and California.  She had never done Alta before.  It looks like she had a good time there.

Then on to her beloved Crested Butte where she saw friends, skied, and loaded up the things she had stored there.  And back to Tahoe to ski with her dear friends Casey and Beth.  Actually, Beth was only allowed to snow shoe with Mya as she and Casey are looking forward to the arrival of #2 shortly.  And Auntie Boo had one day to play with the  adorable Mya in Sacramento.

Meanwhile, back on Maui, Lula was taking surfing lessons  in her mama’s absence. 

Boo had only a few short hours in Oregon on her return trip, but there was time to go out for a chimichanga.  Gotta eat!

Then back home where she unloaded all the gear that had been stored in CO and put it in the attic at 1880.

This is Elizabeth’s:

This is Mary-Margaret’s:

And look!  There’s some room left for Katherine:

And the faithful Tahoe is put into storage out back after about a 3000-mile-whirlwind road-trip .  We love this truck!

And back to PDX.  I should be able to do this run blindfolded.

Boo offers a little excellent visual advice as she departs.

And Roxie and I have a nice drive back to 1880, talking to Joannie “on my car” most of the way.  Now, I am going to heed Boo’s advice and hang loose — at least for the rest of the day.
