(  ) JULY 3-4, 2002 
THIS IS A TIME OF GOODNESS FROM THE LORD...ALL IS WELL AND THE  KIDS ARE FINE.  AGAIN, JUST GETTING AWAY BY OURSELVES... AWAY FROM THE NORM.   WE CHECKED IN THE HOTEL.  THEN WENT TO THE U CHINA BUFFET TO EAT DINNER.  THE FOOD WAS REALLY GOOD.  THE WE HEADED BACK TO THE ROOM TO START OUR EVENING TOGETHER.THIS HOTEL IS REALLY LOVELY.  WHAT WE DID NOT UNDERSTAND; THIS WAS THE 4TH OF JULY HOLIDAY AND THE HOTEL WAS VIRTUALLY EMPTY (NOT THAT I MINDED, ALMOST, JUST THE TWO OF US).  THE GROUNDS WERE VERY WELL KEPT.   THE ROOM VERY CLEAN.  ANYWAY WE HAD A WONDERFUL TIME.  WE WALKED THE GROUNDS.  THIS HOTEL WAS ON A HILL SO IT WAS HIGH UP.  AT THE END OF OUR CORRIDOR WAS A LARGE PICTURE WINDOW.  WE SAW SOME GOOD FIREWORKS FROM THERE.  WE PLAYED GIN RUMMY AND GUESS WHO WON...ME, YEAH!!  THE NEXT MORNING WE ATE BREAKFAST.  THEN WE CHECKED OUT AND  HEADED TO THE BOTANICAL GARDENS.  BESIDES SEEING ALL OF THE PLANTS AND SOME WILD LIFE WE, ALSO, TOOK ONE OF THE TRAILS.  THE GARDENS WERE VERY PRETTY.  WHAT I LIKED THE MOST THERE WAS THIS HUGH ALOE PLANT.  THEN
WE HEADED ON HOME.  ANOTHER WONDERFUL SHORT TRIP FOR TWO SENIORS!  THANKS, FATHER!
