I'm happy now! I'm so happy we can follow your adventures, I guess I forgot you had a blog or forgot how to get to it, I remember now I forgot, ha ha, I'm looking forward to checking in each day, give our big boy a happy birthday kiss from us.
Much love, Mom
inspirational! The architecture and design of our Capitol is inspiring, and your blog takes me there to share in national pride! We are so lucky to be Americans. Thank you for sharing the sights and feelings!
LBJ! I'm just dipping into your blog now and looking forward to some vicarious travels.
I visited the LBJ library in Austin with my daughter last spring. Impressive. Especially the animatronic LBJ!
Thanks for Coming With! Dear Mary:
Thanks so much for your kind remarks. I am happy that folks enjoyed traveling along with us on this remarkable trip. As you can only imagine, getting back to reality has been a bit challenging. We both feel so grateful for all the experiences - it was a once in a lifetime trip.
I know we haven't met, but my dad is so very fond of you and your group of golfers - I feel like I have known you forever. I do hope our paths will cross sometime for real.
Fondly, Dena
fantastic!! hi, dena, we have never met, but i play golf in the same group as your dad does. he told me about your trip, and he also sent me the blog. all i can say is, "wow!!" and that is wow to the whole trip and each blog entry. you have a real gift for writing, the pictures were fantastic, and i almost enjoyed it as much as you did going there! the only difference is that i am sitting in an air-conditioned house, looking at all the sites you did in over a hundred degree heat! seriously, i really enjoyed reading the entire thing! thank you for sharing!
I can't believe that your so close to the end of your trip, thanks for sharing with us, its fun to go along with you two.
I'm glad you went to Goblin Valley its a great place like so many down in Southern Utah, they are all unique in their own little way, so enjoy every little site you see, because before you know it your back to the real world, if you can remember your trip and take it into your everyday lives all the better, JUST ENJOY.
Be careful on the rest of your journey home, and remember we love you both.
Much Love, Mom
Goblin Valley I have so enjoyed reading your blog. I especially like the last few- you really make me want to take a trip to these parks with the family! See you soon. S.
Not Ventura For Sure Dale and I traveled across the US from California to Pensacola Florida to drop him off for a school posting at the navy base there. We followed your steps through New Orleans and up to Memphis. Funny that we had the same type of experience. We had booked a hotel near Graceland, not realizing that the neighborhood has completely changed. Not a good situation...so we ended up at the Heartbreak Hotel across from Graceland. Ahh the memories. :)
Bacon on the side The part I left out was that Jim ordered bacon on the side - we have had a culinary odyssey to say the very least! Love you that you are following along - hope you are enjoying it.
Love and miss you guys - please say hello to everyone for me!

Bacon Waffles Tonight I shall dream of bacon waffles and corned beef hash while soft jazz serenades me. Thanks for the wonderfully descriptive narratives, Dena.
Happy B-Day Jim hey Sis - Just dropping you a quick line - I did'nt forget about Jim's b-day, just knew that you both were on the run in NO. Please give him a hug for me and wish all the best as he eneters his over-the-hill stage:) I'm glad your're doing well and sorry that you incountered the deep southern politics of race and the divide between the West/East side of those small town - It still very much exsists and was a real shocker for me when I was living in Charleston. I hope your doing well and give me a call when you get a chance - Love your bro
tiger torture is what it is THAT CAT NEEDS FREEDOM...not concrete and fumes! it should be given the opportunity of any wild animal to be re-instated into a NORMAL ENVIRONMENT! sad and sickly is a human who KEEPS SUCH animals in CAGES...if there is a huge flood, who will save HIM?
I am a Vice-President at a community foundation and this will be my first month off since I turned 15 and half years old. Part sabbatical and part vacation, I plan to cover 5,000+ miles and visit seven presidential libraries (eight if you count graceland!!)
2011 - a new year, a new trip. Perhaps not an epic journey, but fun nevertheless. We are heading up the California and Oregon coasts and can't wait to start the trip.... full info
