Last days of 2021

 

Christmas in Rochester

We made the trip back in pretty good weather, and without much incident.  On Christmas eve, we were able to meet up with Dave and Uma's family.  Unfortunately Nisha was COVID positive, so we had been exposed.  That kind of put a damper on our gathering. We decided to eat in the garage, wear masks, and test daily - which at least allowed us to stay for the whole trip.

Beautiful sleigh ride, in 26-feels-like-5 temperature.

Meeting the Jensens on the way back to CO. Mina decided to crawl her way to the door.
