One of the most rewarding parts of this grand summer adventure has been the opportunity to see friends and relatives. Our final stop before heading home was a family reunion of sorts, with baby Grayson Arthur Emmanuel Becknell taking center stage with the extended Becknell clan. Everyone had a chance to hold him, and he loved every minute of it.

Josh and Justin together again
Josh gave us an insider's culinary tour of Surdyk's delicious cheeses and cakes, and we had several picnics while we were here.

And in the Walker sculpture garden
Sadly, it's time to point the truck and trailer westward for the long drive back to California. We've had a fantastic summer, and really appreciate everyone's hospitality, literally from coast to coast. We are grateful for all our friends and family whom we saw along the way, and for such sweet memories.
