Off to the West

We're off to the west again!  Kim, Dan, Robin, Brian, Amber and Ernie are heading to Montana for a Missouri River/Lewis and Clark adventure.  We depart St Louis Sunday, 15 July.

Rally to Restore Sanity and or Fear

We shared a great day with about 200,000 other very happy folks on the Washington Capital Mall. And it was very "sane."

31 July 2010 - Final Day of our Summer "Seminar"

Yes, it came to an end! Another annual summer seminar with our faux-children, better known as our niece and nephew. Was it too long? Take a look at the last photo I took this summer before Brian and Amber departed back to St Louis with their grandparents. OK, we loved it! And we're looking forward to a 2011 summer seminar, perhaps a little shorter and closer to the mid-west. Cheers!

29-30 July - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Our last stop of the summer! We stayed at a very nice "boutique" historic hotel, The Alexander Inn, in downtown Philadelphia, walking distance from Independence Hall. It reminded me of staying in New York City, only smaller. Definitely a return trip is in store for us.

27 July 2010 - Yorktown, VA, The End of a Long Day

We finally reached our home in Yorktown. Where we spent a couple of down days and hooked up with Kim's mom, Sue, and her husband Larry who drove in from St Louis to come with us to our last stop of the summer, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

27 July 2010 Kitty Hawk, North Caroline

The 27th of July was a very busy day! Before departing for our home in Yorktown, we made one last trip to the Kitty Hawk National Park to see were the Wright brothers launch the age of powered flight.

27 July 2010 Roanoke Island, North Carolina

Continuing North we stopped on Roanoke Island, the site of the "Lost Colony." The morning show at the National Park outdoor theater was the Princess and the Frog which was unexpected and very enjoyable.
