The Nomadic Neuman's
December 2003 Travel Log

Dec. 2, 2003
College Station, TX
We visited Danny Morrison from Epicures, Catering By Design.
He's a friend and co-worker from the first restaurant I worked at "Fish Richards, Half Century House" in the 80's.
He now owns his own building with catering company, banquet facilities and a huge kitchen. Next time we visit there,
I hope to spend some time working with him again. He sure wanted me to stay through the holiday to help out!    

So after a beautiful TX sunset we said our good-byes to JB and headed back towards CA.

Junction, TX

Dan found a park in this small TX town that allowed over-night camping.
We were surprised at how relaxing & peaceful it was. Lots of local fauna residents as you can see below.

Carlsbad Caverns

An awesome place. I can't say much for my photography here, though.

Dad's Blue Paradise

After several more days on the road, we made it back to the San Diego area.
Once again we boon-docked on the dirt road to Dad's Blue Paradise
for a few days while we located a more long term place to park our motor home. After 7 months on the road, it was very special to see Dad and the rest of the family.

What an incredible accomplishment!
Laurel received her Juris Doctorate Degree as the top student graduating Summa Cum Laude
