Seeing San Fransisco with everyone was not the only fun thing about our whirlwind trip to the States. Early Friday morning we headed to Lubbock to visit Ryan at Tech. We have wanted to do this for awhile and on this trip we made it happen. Tom and Bonnie roadtripped with us so that made the 5-6 hour drive go by much faster. Laughing and catching up across west Texas is the best way to travel.
Ryan has some terrific friends and we were glad to finally meet them. Our short visit was packed with meeting his buddies, seeing Lubbock and Texas Tech and eating at some of his favorite restaurants. We weren't sure about Tech before he went there but he has made some good friends and obviously, for now it is home to him. As a senior he has lots of decisions to make in the upcoming months but for now he is happy in Lubbock and we are glad we experienced just a little of his life there. \

Although it wasn't California, this part of our trip was just as special. It was hard to hug him good-bye. I wanted to say just get in the car..and come with us. The goodbyes do not get easier.
