Elizabeth Rose is 5 months old and we are so happy to see her.   After about 8,000 towing miles (Sacramento to Lebec, ME - the furthest east point of the U.S. and return through the Appalachians, South through Memphis, then MO, and Colorado.)

From Fernley, Nevada we arrive in Sacramento. Moved into Elks Lodge, Rancho Cordova.  Visited Jason and Erin and Rose and I went for a walk in the neighborhood in her stroller.  She loves to look up at the sky through the leaves and tree branches.
