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!
