Translation: City of Sacramento Councilmember Lisa Kaplan came to Four Seasons Westshore to meet with residents. Rainy night .. maybe that kept some people at home?
Thank you Terri for coming and keeping me company (and taking this picture).
Ride around the airport
This was a farewell ride, sort of. Dani and Kathy are moving to Roseville. Today we did one of our favorite rides – around the airport. A rest stop at Teal Bend Golf Course.
After the ride, we had cake and ice cream at my house. And Brenda’s birthday is tomorrow. Brenda, Brad, Sandra, Milan:
Maria, Laurie, BarbaraL, Dani, Kathy:
22 miles.
Learn 2 Ride
Kathy and I weren’t sure who would show up today. Sharmaine and De’Veona came back .. with a new bike. After practicing for a while, I rode with De’Veona up and down Miller Park, about 2.5 miles altogether. Great progress.

Grandparents Day
at St Ignatius. Waiting for the 8th graders to come out and meet their grandparents or special friends,
then to Mass in the church.
Third grade plus Carson’s 4th grade class form the choir and put on this mass. Carson had one of the readings.
Afterwards, we went to lunch at Cafe Bernardo.
Celebration
Councilmember Lisa Kaplan invited four local residents to attend a celebration of Sacramento Advocates for Rail and Transit’s (SMART) first full year as an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation.
Emel Wadhwani received an award for her service. She is a fellow ATCommissioner and serves on the board of the non-profit Sacramento Advocates for Rail and Transit.
Homeward bound
Almost everyone left around 9am on the bus with the driver Rick. Five of us had a later departure. Rainy morning, off and on. We were really lucky with the weather. The hurricanes were a nothing-burger. It rained occasionally but never impacted our activities.
We had a private transfer to the airport in Jacksonville and took a late afternoon flight to Dallas then Sacramento.
Home sweet home. This trip was so much fun. We’re already talking about the next trip we might do together.
Final day
On the way to breakfast, I noticed the flag being raised – oops. Quickly fixed.
We took a tram tour around the property.
There are “cottages” surrounding the resort. Crane Cottage is a popular wedding venue.
We were able to tour inside Indian Mound Cottage once owned by the Rockefellers.
Next stop, Georgia Sea Turtle Center.
Escape route for turtles caught in shrimping nets.
Sea turtle hospital.
Mid-afternoon, we took a dolphin tour.
Atlantic bottlenose dolphins. Luckily, we saw MANY.
In the evening we had a really nice farewell dinner. Very attentive servers. The other three ladies at our table were from Texas and very friendly. Actually, everyone on this tour was friendly and always on time much to the delight of the tour director Dawn and all of us.
