Bonus Round

A delightful bonus was to be able to spend all of my free time with Nick, Nicki, James, Amanda, Spencer, and Nicki's brothers and sister-in-law.  I toured Nick's school and his classroom, met the principal, picked peaches, stopped at a vineyard, and shared many many memorable meals--including Sunday brunch on his 2nd story balcony.   I can't thank he and Nicki enough for being such willing and energetic companions and it was a real treat for me to see not only Mitch's new home away from home, but Nick's as well.
