Day 3 - San Dimas

By Pam Jorgensen -
It had been 10 years since I had visited San Dimas, CA where I grew up! Too long! So I made the family suffer through a nostalgic drive through my home town!

This is where I spent most of my teenage years


Teaching little swimmers in this pool


Training with my team and Coach Dave in this pool


Alma Mater - San Dimas High School
You may now make all the Raging Waters and Bill and Ted's jokes...now!





Driving up Fernridge Rd on the way to my childhood home


Lela's house across the street


1856 Hawkbrook Dr
San Dimas, CA 91773

This house looks NOTHING like it did when I lived there!
BUT! This tree I'm leaning on is exactly the same! I use to climb to the tip top!
I love this tree for staying the same!


Nothing


Kent, Caren and Karla Brownsberger's house
Next door neighbors since I was 1 year old! Karla and I are the same age.
Loved them!


Chris' house.
We used to get huge boxes and roll down his lawn and driveway in them.
Fun.



San Dimas Canyon Park
Also much different than when I was scared to go there because of the drugs and scary people. It looks so much better now!


We used to ride our bikes all the way to this 7-eleven for penny candy and Slurpees


My original In-n-Out in LaVerne
Debby Wieder and I ate here on Graduation night


The corner of Mr Godbey's room R-2 at SDHS. My favorite English class, Senior year (1989). My friends and I took a picture in this same corner.


Mr Godbey is still there!! But will be retiring after this school year.


Rylee holds the flowers for G'ma F's grave


Visiting my mother's grave in Glendora, Ca.
It's been 10 years since she passed.
I miss her





Scott pin-pointing her grave site with GPS coordinates


After the family survived my stroll down memory lane, we took the kids to...


Evike - Airsoft gun super store


Scott poses with the mannequin in Moberly style


This is what Carson is saving his money for
Ha ha


Rylee is funny too


Really Chase? A gold gun?


Mitch was in heaven!


We got to shoot the gun to make sure we liked it before Mitch bought it
Works for Chase


and Scott


and me


Rylee and Carson LOVED collecting all the BB's


Do you think he's happy?


We also went to see the New Port Beach temple
From the car...it was raining

By Pam Jorgensen -

So...I will sum up.   Sorry...wordy and no pictures. After our fun trip to Moberly, MO, we joined Jen, her kids and Gma J in a caravan to SLC for the Plewe Family Reunion.  We were so excited to be traveling with family making travel life more fun with cousins!  We did have fun but the hellish travel trends continued to plague us!  At one stop Gma locked her keys in the car...we waited for a LONG time till AAA could come and break us in.  This put us into our first stop pretty late but nothing unmanageable.  However, when we got to our hotel in Cheyenne, WY the hotel we had a reservation at (and called to confirm just a couple hours before) had given our ...
