KJ's trip - days 27, 28, 29, and 30

KJ called yesterday! He was running around Buena Vista, Colorado with 4 other boys. He had just purchased a kinife sharpener for a small souvenir knife he had bought in Alaska. He wanted to buy a "real" knife, but you had to be 16 and everybody in his group was 15. He is having a blast and said that he had really started to click with some of the boys. Today, they will be going white water rafting on the Arkansas river. I told him to wear a helmet, a life jacket, and hang on tightly. His was reply was, "yes mom."

Anyway, yesterday (Friday), they traveled to Buena Vista, Colorado where they will also stay Saturday night. On Sunday, they will travel to Bandelier, New Mexico. Monday, they will visit the Los Alamos Lab, and shop in Santa Fe, New Mexico where they will spend the night.

Wow! He's having the adventure of a lifetime. Is he with a homeschooling group or who's he traveling with?

Oh, cool! Los Alamos is a really neat place. Kind of different, as towns go, with such a high concentration of Really Smart People. DH and his little brother were up there once for work and as they drove to their meeting, DH looked at his little brother and said, "Wow, you're probably the dumbest guy in town, you know that?" (They do love each other. Really, they do. *grin*)

I hope KJ has a fantastic return voyage!

It was so nice to hear from KJ last night. He was sure looking forward to the steak dinner that Capt. Ron was going to buy them. And he was also looking forward to the drive in movie in La Mesa! LOL

Love you,
