Day 44 - June 22

We took our time getting started this morning and got the RV to Deonna's sister's house at about 1:00 PM. From there we immediately packed into their SUV and headed to the "Taste of Lone Tree". Other cities have done this and it usually requires that you pay some amount at each restaurant or vendor's booth. Here in Lone Tree this is their first attempt at this and they are trying to promote their diverse cuisine. The fee to get in was $10 for adults and $5 for kids ages 5 to 13. Since this also included your parking and there were no fees at any of the booths this was a great value. In addition to the excellent value of the admission, all of the restaurants were offering large samples of their food. I had grilled Ahi Tuna on a roll with two wonderful sauces, Mongolian ribs, three kinds of sushi, bread pudding, Calamari and Asian grilled chicken over rice and of course sampled some wine and Donna sampled some beer...all at no charge once we proved we were over 21 (ha!). Safeway was also there grilling samples of the Rancher's Select New York strip steak...juicy, done just right and well seasoned...YUM!

We returned to Sonya and Chris's house and watch the kids and the dogs play for another relaxing afternoon. Again, we are glad to have been able to spend time with family on this trip.
