Road Scholar Program with Addie Bruce and I spent a week with granddaughter Addie in Newport News, VA, at a program sponsored by Road Scholar (formerly Elderhostel). It was fabulous. We all learned a lot about "Fins, Furs, Feathers" plus we had a lot of fun. the program was extremely well presented with many interactive activities for children and grandparents. In addition, we got to tour the Virginia Living Museum which is populated with animals who have been rescued and can no longer return to the wild. We also got to meet many animals up close and personal and even touch them -- a snake, an owl, a skunk, and many others. A couple of days we ventured out into the heat (118 degrees was the heat index) to gather fossils and examine a nearby marsh. On our return to Bethesda, Brian, Addie's Dad, drove down to spend an overnight with us and on Sunday we had to say our goodbyes. We are going to miss her!!
