In order to provide Theresa & Karees with a proper send-off
to Washington, we decided to do a "farewell tour" of the Valley.
We visited with Mimi & Pop at their house, stayed
at the beautiful Texas Guest Ranch where Mom works,
and took a
day trip out west through Los Ebanos, Rio
Grande City, Roma and ended up in Chapeno.
That night, Mom surprised us with
a birthday party, which the kids really enjoyed!
On our way home to Austin, we diverted to South Padre Island
to have
a last dunk in the Gulf of Mexico. We traveled home with sand in various uncomfortable
spots as well as some
sunburn here and there, but we had a great time!

As time permits, I will add commentary; I just wanted to share our memories as quickly as possible!
You know you're in the Valley when ...
Enjoy!
