Mom and I in Sedona









Dad and Mom










Crazy mountain roads!

Back home!

Made it back safely to Oviedo finally. Sort of unloaded the car. We'll probably start going through stuff tomorrow and trying to find things, like the cord for Mom's camera so we can put up the last week's pictures. But first, sleeping in our own beds!

Back in florida:-)

Almost melted into the sidewalk in new orleans. Hottest day yet! Yuck

Back in Louisiana. The humidity sent out the welcome wagon. They really shouldn't have.

Ps- everything is fine now. Mom even got her buenchilada. All is right in the world.

Leaving Plano after eating lots of good food, seeing lots of good friends, and even a visit to the er. Worst migraine i've had yet, couldn't hold down any meds.

Eating a shipley's maple frosted donut. This is what i remember from plano.

Just got to help Mom pick out margarita makings. She vetoed the mango mix i wanted.

Back in Texas! Long time, no see. Also, Mom is a driving machine today

Fyi- Mom got the first speeding ticket of the trip. Let's give her a nice round of applause. (donations to the stop Mom's lead foot fund are now being accepted)

Eww. Smelly cows in Arizona. Staying at one of Mom's friend's house tonight.

Good thing this thunder storm came after the scary intestine driving section. Thanks Dad for driving through this, i couldn't.

The Gps totally just looked like someone's digestive track. I may be over driving through mountains.

Off to the Grand Canyon today! Hopefully the last day of mountain driving too. I like looking at them, just not driving through them.

Dropping Nancy and Karen off at the airport today. Goodbye to the last of the hitch-hikers. We're going to have to rough it on our own now.

More random photos with lots and lots of different relatives

Random pictures - Jim & Marcela's, July 24th

Before Karen leaves and takes her computer with her... :-( These are pictures from Jim & Marcela's, Karen stalked a jackrabbit to get some photos

Old Photos

Omaha: Mom and Dad hanging out with their friends

The original plan was that I would go back to the bar and pick up the parents at the end of the night, but Mike and Sandy said they could just ride with them...in the jump seats in the back of their pick up truck...

Lunch at Don & Millie's and Iowa state line photos:

Salt Lake City: The rest of the family went to a diner while I hung out with one of my friends from high school. We went to a taco stand in a Sears parking lot. We know how to have a good time. Then we went to a park and I remembered to take some photos.
