Marin Memories

And so the days passed quickly, and suddenly the last weekend in Marin was upon us.   Alan has lived in Marin 50+ years; me 25+; and for Bryan, well, all his life.  So the last days were indeed bitter sweet.

We woke up early on Saturday and Alan treated with his famous blueberry buttermilk pancakes.

Then we piled in the car and spent the day driving around the Ross Valley -- remembering all those places that enriched our lives and added joy to our days.  We started at San Anselmo Pre-School, Wade Thomas, and Robson Harrington Park.  Journeyed to White Hill Middle School, Canon Village, Tamiscal High, Phoenix Lake, McNears Beach, Loch Lomand Marina, Elks Club and many more.  Six hours later the sun was setting over the Marin Civic Center! 

The Millenium Playground

College of Marin

San Rafael Public Library -- The Redwall Series was a favorite
And no trip down memory lane is complete without dinner at My Thai; yes, that was an order for drunken noodles!

Sunday, well, Sunday was not so filled with laughter and fun.  Time for the last picture under the "Bryan Tree" which was a gift from my parents when Bryan was born.  And then,  Sequoia Drive was in the rear view mirror.  Davis California and ports of Mexico ahead.  

The Bryan Tree will live on in the GL estate
