We had a continental breakfast at the motel (bagels, pastries, coffee, orange juice), then it was a quick two-hour drive up to Andy and Dawn's in Dundee.
Their daughter Emily was out of town visiting relatives, but 8-year-old Elizabeth was home, and she and David hit it off right away. They played Nintendo DS games while the grown-ups talked and Charlie played on the com-poo-ter.
Lunch was a fantastic cook-it-yourself pizza from Papa Murphy's Take 'n' Bake. Then Sherry and Charlie walked to a nearby park while Andy, Dawn and I reminisced, and Elizabeth and David continued to play.
For dinner, we went to the Ruby Tuesday in nearby McMinnville. I always see ads for Ruby Tuesday on TV, but there are none in Southern California. Hamburgers are one of their specialties, and mine (an Alpine Swiss burger) was very good. Andy also had a hamburger, Sherry and Elizabeth had mini burgers, Charlie had mac 'n' cheese, and David had shrimp. (Dawn stayed home to rest a bit.)
Back at the house, Andy and Dawn made chocolate chip cookies from Papa Murphy's Take 'n' Bake dough. (We gotta get one of these in San Diego!)
After dinner, Andy and I stayed up and talked about movies, et al, while everyone else went to bed.
