Destination Reached

Yesterday was a long day of travel but I made all my connections, got a rental car and made it to my intended destination. Yesterday afternoon I got to hug Sue's neck and visit with her for a couple of hours. It was very sweet. There were a lot of tears on both side. Her daughter and a long time friend who is here to help care for her, took me out for dinner after we took Sue to get hers in the dining room. I enjoyed getting to know them and was able to hear more of what had happened these past five months. It certainly helped fill in the gaps.

I am staying in a nice hotel. I slept smack In the middle of the king size bed for a good twelve hours. I had only slept a couple hours the night before and was pretty tired. I just finished the yummy free breakfast and will get to see Sue in about an hour.

I unpacked my bag and AT, the pen man definitely didn't make it to Washington state. I would love to know where he ended up and with who. Truth is, I found when traveling,  especially when alone, it helps to have a little object for photos. It helps tell the story as I'm not a fan of solo selfies or just pictures of places. I forgot to bring one of my travel buddies from home And I found the pen in the gift shop at the Atlanta airport. Maybe I will pick up a small buddy here in Yakima or perhaps this trip just won't have many pictures.
