Flying Away

Thursday morning we encountered heavy traffic in Arlington but made it to the airport in plenty of time.


Shortly after takeoff I noticed these gas well pads not far north of the DFW.




After a two hour layover in Denver we flew over the snow covered Rockies, the desert of Utah and Nevada and


more snow cover in the High Sierras.






The drive from Oakland to Walnut Creek was in the midst of evening rush hour traffic with stop and go conditions but we had time to rest in our room about 15 minutes before Ann Carol picked us up for Lauren's band concert at the Fine Arts auditorium in downtown Walnut Creek.

Lauren sat on the back row with her bass horn so we were unable to see her.

The band was very good. Next the Jazz band played a few tunes.

Lauren played the bass guitar in the Jazz band.
