Our Travel Adventures December 1, 2013
As we headed out of church today, our final day at Our Savior, we heard from all our dear
friends and family. What a wonderful day, now we’re off to see the U.S., maybe even
the Milky Way.
December 25, 2013 So we headed up to Oregon to celebrate Christmas
at Old McDonald’s farm. Why, you ask? Well, Grandma’s third cousin’s nephew’s neighbor’s
half-brother, Cliff bar invited us to stop by any time. So we did! What a wonderful visit
we had.
January 6, 2014 Just as the Wise Men followed the Star many
years ago, today we too followed a Star, bucks we went the wrong way and ended up in Las
Vegas.
January 10, 2014 Well, getting lost in Vegas turned out to
be a fantastic thing for us. At a gas stop, while Grandma was going to the bathroom, Grandpa
decided to quick play a penny slot machine. What a Pay Day! Now we had money to head to
New York.
February 4, 2014 It sure is a long way across the U.S.! As
we were driving through Kansas one day, it was getting dark and no hotels in sight. Then
Grandma said, “Hey, remember Paul’s second grade teacher’s uncle’s mailman’s cousin?
I think his son lives nearby. Let’s go to Albertson’s house! He would love to see
us!
February 24, 2014 We finally arrived in the Big Apple. That
reminds me, our eldest son’s birthday. We must give him a call as soon as we get off
this crazy Subway.
April 15, 2014 Tax Day — ah, to be retired and travelling
the U.S. This is the life! Snickers we may hear, but we love it!
June 30, 2014 While visiting some of Grandpa’s German
relatives in Texas, we found a distant relationship to Albert Einstein. Wow! So we set off to
find any living relatives. And low and behold, we found the Einstein Bros.. Amazing! They
made really good bagels.
August 23, 2014 Well, we did it! We hiked to the top of Half
Dome today! What a view! And it’s a good thing we ran into Dave’s former girlfriend’s
aunt’s dog groomer’s third cousin-once-removed, because we had a trail mix up and she pointed
us in the right direction.
September 12, 2014 For Dave’s birthday, we decided to fly to
Hawaii and surprise him (even better than a phone call!) Interestingly, our flight attendant’s
name was Jamba. She was from Jamaica. “Jamba, Juice please!” said Grandpa.
November 26, 2014 Of our Three Musketeers, the youngest was
born today. “Is this the home of the birthday boy?” Grandma exclaimed. It has been one
full year and we’ve had Mounds of fun and have loved every moment!
