Chico, California (June 2013)

We planned our northwest journey so we would arrive in Chico during the first week of June to attend the graduation of Dan's oldest granddaughter. While there, we spent as much time as possible with Dan's son and his family, visiting, lending a hand where we could, and making new memories to carry with us when we left. In addition to the Big Event, the graduation, we were able hike at Lassen Volcanic National Park (see post below), get in a round of golf, and watch the grandkids play soccer. We also got to meet Dan's two youngest grandkids for the first time, something that was a long time coming, and much appreciated. Sweltering temperatures during our stay, and the day of the outdoor graduation party the mercury rose to 111 degrees! Lucky for everyone in attendance, the yard was fully shaded and there was a swimming pool available as well. All too soon this week was over and it was time to continue north to the Oregon coast. Below are some pictures from our stay in Chico.
