Week 08 - Arches National Park, SeaWorld, Family in Paso Robles, Rick and Janel Armet Wedding - 10-08-2006

Arches National Park, SeaWorld, Family

We left colorful Colorado and entered the majestic Arches National Park where we took hundreds of pictures. We will only send two because they have been preempted by something much more awesome and valuable to us: family and friends.

We left our MH near Salt Lake City and flew to California for a wedding. We landed in San Diego and went to Sea World with Melissa, Emily and her boyfriend, Chad.

Our scooter at the last place that we saw it. Will it still be at the airport when we return?

Then we borrowed Em's car and headed to Paso Robles to Carla and Ron's house (Ellen's sister and brother-in-law). Carla and Ron hosted a dinner with family.

Sunday morning we went to the First Baptist Church in Paso Robles with Matt and Renee. Besides meeting family there, we said "Hi" to friends from churches past. Then we returned back to Janice and Frank's for lunch with more family.

Thank you to all our friends and family that we were able to visit with. And a special thank you to Frank and Janice for the meals and place to stay.
