UntitledtylerI am getting packed and washing the kids cloths. They have just come in from a week at camp. Dale and I, along with help from Dad put the camper top on the truck. our stuff should be safe and dry. Tomorrow we will go to church and finish packing and then leave Monday morning... I am getting so excited and a little worried about the floods in Texas. Maybe that rain will move over here and help us out we could sure use some rain here. But anyway, I can't wait to be off on this western adventure. ... read more

June 8, 2007 Our trip down to Georgia was relatively short and easy. We made our way over to Cumming, Georgia (about 35 minutes from Atlanta) to stay with Allison’s sister, Lorraine, and her three year old daughter, Josephine. Josephine was a bit shy at first, but quickly warmed up to us and played some hide-and-seek. As you can see from the pictures Josephine is the cutest kid. She has lots of energy, is always laughing and smiling, and is a joy to play with. During our stay, Josephine thought she had a different Aunt Allison (I guess the different hair color through her off) and claimed me as her own. That night, we got take-out for dinner and chatted with Lorraine for a while. Josephine and I spent time playing, drawing, and coloring pictures. ... read more

My Trip Around the WorldShylie Armon I spent a good part of yesterday evening in the Atlanta Hartsfield airport.

The dark evil unholy lord that runs Hartsfield managed to make it so that the carousel that I picked my luggage up from, and the point at which I had to deposit it were on completely opposite ends of two separate ... read more

It's the day before lift off, and Stef and I are both running around at a slightly frenetic pace, checking and double checking our supplies. Short of a few set backs (such as Patty needing the pin pulled out of her leg and Stef ripping one of her contacts practically in half this morning), we should be good to go for our Peruvian adventure! ... read more

Of course, I must visit all 50 states, including those that require a plane, boat, or sled dog team to reach. I think many people wish to do this, and they all don't have to aspire to be travel writers! I have made some progress with this map, but as with the rest of the world, many adventures in my own country await! I figured I'd just set some of these maps up for interest purposes as I got ready to pay homage to Europe again (I leave in about 6 days, even though Travelblog posts this entry as having been written May 28th. I started it then, but published it June 19th. There will be various features to get used to, so please bear with me at times! Thanks.). Visited US States Map ... read more
