The Big Trip

Rose having fun on Bryan College tour. This is where Mike and Tracy teach. Tracy and Jenn We met in Flagstaff and have been friends since.  Abby and I traveled with her in Amsterdam and Paris in September 2019. Jenn and Tracy at Bryan’s cafeteria. Rose at rock climbing gym in Chattanooga.  Mike and Ken took the kids climbing. Ken opted out of climbing.  When selfies don’t work out great yet they are great. That is Ken’s finger on the right.  Tracy, Mike, Jenn and Ken at our campsite on the lake. Rose at roller skating rink in Cleveland, TN. Viewpoint from the top of Rock City, Georgia. This was very close to Chattanooga.  Jenn and Tracy at the top.  Is that Levi photo bombing us? Yes. Rose and Levi at Rock City. Lovers Leap. Rose and Levi climbing a tree. Ken, Jenn and Rose biking in Dayton. They have a great park with paved trails right along the water. Rose coloring eggs at the Finches. Tracy and Jenn colored some eggs too.  Most of them ended up a dark shade of green. We hope that y

Jenn and Rose at Martin Luther King Jr  National Historical Site - Atlanta, GA It was in the 40s in the morning, a very warm Alaska winter day. Kennedy Space Center  Jenn visited before when she worked for Delaware North and trained staff on their new Oracle accounting system.  The three of us at KSC - 5 hours until launch  Rose as participant in show at KSC Unfortunately her racquetball broke after being  placed in liquid nitrogen. Poor “Bond” (she named it). Jenn and Rose at KSC It was a lovely day. Rose at KSC  This is the launch we were so blessed to see. It took place at 4:55pm. They have a very narrow window to meet up with the ISS that travels at  17,500 mph. Headed to launch. Looks like a clear sky. Waiting for launch with many others. The weather was perfect with a 90% chance of it being a go. There it goes. And off we go, but a little slower than the rocket. Jenn and Neil, a cyclist friend since we met  in Yosemite National Park years ago. Neil lives in Atlanta and has visite

Daytona Beach Cocoa Beach Cocoa Beach Fireworks at DisneyWorld  Ken and Rose at Disney - Day 3 Rose at Daytona Beach Ken and Rose at DisneyWorld  Rose and Dumbo  Well, it’s almost time to say goodbye to Florida.  Ken and Rose enjoyed another day at DisneyWorld and did “all the things.” They also hit a few beaches - Cocoa and Daytona. And Ken let Rose sleep in until noon one day before tackling school work. We have about 35 more math lessons to go but we are all committed to finishing it before the school year ends. When does the school year end? To be determined but it should be sometime in May unless we have too many field trips.  Abby and I hit the road to visit a potential university so Ken and Rose had to move the camper without my strong navigational skills. They made it!  On the road trip I was able to meet up with my dear friend Erica. We are planning to connect again this summer.
