Yes, little cousin Campbell, I am afraid that is absolutely true. Oh, I still have a few posts to do, but we are nearing the end of the journey. I sure had fun hanging out with you, little guy.

And I will miss you too, cousin Clark. We had fun while your mom took your brother to that doctor appointment, didn’t we.

And did you guys know that I left my mom’s house in the Bay Area so early… to avoid traffic… that I got here to Santa Cruz before the sun even came up, and drove into town, and out on the pier, just to take a silly picture of some sleepy seagulls?

And I then found a place nearby to eat breakfast that is named after your cousin, my daughter, Mollie.

And I took a picture of the sun rising over the Santa Cruz mountains before I came over to your house.

But I think, of all the stuff I did on my latest adventure, that hanging out with you dudes was the most fun.

Yes, Clark, I liked it when you played that plastic straw like a flute.

No, don’t be sad, little guy.

I will be back before you know it, and I think we are going to see all of you at Christmas at my mom’s house.
