Jessica's Trip to Croatia

Jessica and I flew to Seattle Washington where we met Steven the end of August. We decided that this was best to have Jessica rest a few days before flying off to Croatia on the 30th. She would have a 24 hour trip of nonstop travel to reach her destination. We had fun while we were in Seattle. Jessica had never been, I don't think Steven had either. We all went to Pike's Market. Jessica really enjoyed this as it was full, I mean full of fabulous flowers this time of year. She was able to watch the cute fishermen throw fish around and be show-offs. That was funny. The next day we met her cousins, Matt and Rebeca Dinger and we all rode the ferry over to an island. It was about a two hour trip all in all. We then ate really good seafood. The next day Jessica slept all day in preparation to her journey. Aunt Shirley and Uncle Dennis and Grandpa Perkins met she and Steven on Thursday the 30Th and then all but Steven flew off on the voyage. Jessica called two days later when she reached her destination. I could only talk to her for a brief minute and then she had to end as it was so expensive. She said it was very very long. She had traveled on planes, trains, automobiles and boats. She said she had slept every chance she could. She was exhausted but had reached the remote island in Croatia in the Baltic Sea at ten o'clock at night. She said she was staying in a 500 year old family home built by the Romans. She had gone to the home her grandmother had lived in and found some pictures of her great grandparents and her grandmother as a little girl. I ask if she had a good bed in this house and she said she slept in her own king sized bed. She said the country was indescribably beautiful. A message was left on Steven's phone that she was doing good. That is all we have heard. She comes home the end of this week, a two week stay. I pray she will have a safe and good trip home. We can't wait to see her again and give her a big hug. I love you my Jessica.
