A surprisingly pleasant day, given how difficult family outings have been to coordinate to satisfy everyone and avoid devolving into tensions or divisions of interest. But it all managed to go relatively (pun intended) smoothly. Maybe we have all finally reached a more harmonious balance. We rode the train at Roaring Camp in Felton through the redwoods, had lunch at Old Fisherman's Grotto, and walked around Lovers Point. All of these spots are rich with memories, yet today, we are creating new ones to add to a lifetime's. I know not to expect things to always go this smoothly, but at least I know now that it is possible. We all do. This could be a 'page-turning' point into the next chapters of each of our separate lives.
