Bako Buddies

Jill's Journal: See this? This blur is six happy kids playing an impromptu game of “Ring Around the Tree.” Four adults spent a pretty happy day too. It dawned on us that we’ve seen Chris and Julie and their three adorable kids – Athena, Zoe, and Jack -- three times on this RV journey of the last two years, more than any other friends. It helps that they currently live in Bakersfield (people around here call it “Bako”), which is only about an hour from my parents, but it’s more than that. We just seem to fit. It doesn’t always happen that both members of a couple both truly enjoy both other members of a couple AND the kids are evenly matched and everyone gets along swimmingly. We just love this family and so enjoy our time together. In fact, if I were to picture our dream neighbors and friends, this wonderful family would probably top the list.
