Week 16 - Burbank and Paso Robles, CA - 12-03-2006

Burbank and Paso Robles, CA

Sunday night we arrived at the Elks Lodge in Burbank where Pete remained until Friday. He spent the week working with his friends and clients, Tom and Sue. Ellen spent Sunday and Monday there, and then took a train to San Luis Obispo to visit with friends and family. At Burbank a sign indicated that you must have a government-issued ID to ride. She did not have her driver's license with her. It turned out that the conductor did not require the ID. Her friend Paula picked her up in SLO and they had lunch and then went to visit with Janet and Brad . Ellen met up with her sisters and brothers-in-law for dinner. Unfortunately, Ellen got the stomach flu while on her vacation from her vacation. On Thursday, her sister, Janice took her for the return train ride to Burbank. In San Luis Obispo they do require ID and she could not ride "home". Apparently you can only go north without ID. Pete was going to send her license up with his friends, Tom and Sue, who were heading up here. However, he surprised Ellen and drove the motorhome up and we stayed at Wine Country RV Park for a few nights. It was a wonderful surprise. We went to our niece Michelle's 30th birthday dinner at Carla and Ron's. The next day we saw our sons and most of our grandkids. Ellen got to visit with her nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews. We went to church Sunday morning with Janice and Renee.

Love, Pete and Ellen
