Yesterday was Annika's birthday party but, it being a kids' affair, we decided we would go over on her birthday (the 11th) instead. But now we are going to a funeral in Maryland that day so we will have to pick another. Such a busy calendar. Bailey called asking if his sun catcher was dry yet
Trip Log
February 4, 2009
We spent the night at Jeff's last Tuesday in preparation for watching the kids the following day while Danielle went in for an in-service day. We went the night before because of the threat of snow which did cause the morning meeting to be cancelled but we did enjoy spending the time with the ki

Last week, as Alesa recovered from her cold, we got the trailer state inspected with no problems and also had them reseal the roof. Getting the trailer on the road combined with the recent cold snap got us yearning for a trip south. Our current plans are to head into the Carolinas in March for

We arrived home last Friday from Lake Placid and have settled back into a routine including going to the gym almost every day. We started the hot tub back up and it sure helps take the chill off of these cold days. Today we took a day trip to York, Pa.

Last night was another wonderful Christmas Eve with family, friends, gifts, food and fun. We had a pinata for the kids with candy, coins, toys and "nana-papa bucks" to be used to buy something they wanted but didn't get for Christmas. Alesa, of course, made sure we had way too much excellent fo
December 22, 2008
We left Lakeland at noon yesterday, visited Alesa's dad's memorial and arrived back home at 4 AM this morning. It was a long day, especially for being the shortest day of the year. It was a good drive with great weather and little or no traffic. Mike and family left after we did and arrived ho

Today is Alesa's 60th and we are in Naples, Florida. We left home at 4AM on the 9th and arrived in Brunswick, GA at 4PM that same day. We spent the night there and then visited Pruners in Jacksonville in the morning and with Betsey Fales in Ormond Beach in the afternoon and then spent the next
