First Camping Trip

Last Friday after school my two Sarah's and I drove 7 hours to the western slope. Traffic was heavy, but we stopped for supper in Idaho Springs, had a bathroom break in Glenwood Springs, went over McClure Pass, past several coal mines with enough lights to land an alien space ship, and finally to Hotchkiss. We found our jammies in our bags, put our heads on our pillows, and tried to get some sleep.
The next day we had a tour of Sarah Josephine's home town and went up, up, UP the mountain to Steven's Gulch where "SHASTA" was waiting for me. It was the cutest camping trailer I've ever stayed in--oh, it's the ONLY trailer I've ever stayed in because this was my first camping trip EVER in 59 years.
Great food, great people, and a great location helped Sarah Joy and I make it through the weekend. Sarah Jo and her family knew it was going to be rough for the two of us as memories of a year ago were close to our hearts. But as we said last year to all our family and friends:

Joy, when shared, will always increase.
Grief, when divided, is hushed into peace.

Thanks to the entire Wilson Clan!! You made us feel so welcome and loved this past weekend.
The whole experience (except the traffic on the way home) was terrific!! ♥♫
