Kim fishing and our view

Just in case you don't go to Picassa. I had to show Kim's fishing trip today and our view.

Grand Tetons

Tetons are beautiful. We finally found A spot in "the" Lodge that offers wi-fi. All is well. Kim went fishing this morning while I read at the riverside. He caught 11 trout but unfortunately none were of the keeper size. He had fun with his new fly rod (thanks kids!). I've put lots of pictures on the picassa. Only complaint is that the campground has no hook-ups so we're dark, COLD, and porting water. No showers either- ewww! We're going to go to pay for a shower tonight after we hike. We complain for awhile and then see the spectacular view....it's been worth it. No, if only Jacob was able to get us a site at yellowstone. We've heard its crowded. We'll see. We plan on going there Friday and staying through Wednesday. Then we'll go towards Mount Rushmore and then home.

Day 2 - Colorado to Wyoming

Keep losing my connection so I'll type fast. We're in Rawlins WYOMING. Very long drive. Nothing exciting to post. Hope all our loved ones are doing well. Check out picasso for todays pictures.

Texas to New Mexico in a day!

Well, Kim drove 840 miles today and we made it to Roton, NM at about 7:15 our time (6:15 Mountain. We left at 5:00am). It is COLD!!! It's probably 50 but the wind is howling so we actually have a windchill. We've already seen elk, deer and lots of weird land formations. Drove through some boring country and some beautiful country. As we entered New Mexico on HWY 87 it started to pour! It was worth it....it cleaned up all the dead bugs on the car and we saw the most beautiful rainbow we've ever seen. The colors were so vibrant.

We've had a wonderful time so far. I had to go to classes today but when I was done we went for a walk along the shoreline and stopped for a fruity drink on the water. Then we all went back to the room for a nap before going to the barbeque hosted by TASBO at the Corpus Christi Hooks minor league baseball game. It was a wonderful night! We were afraid we'd be really hot but the breeze was perfect and Curtis LOVES baseball! He got really tired and didn't want to miss anything. He was so cute falling asleep on my lap watching the game. I've put some more pictures on our web-site. I've so enjoyed this time. I've learned a lot for my job and had some wonderful quality time with Kim, Jill and Curtis. We miss Jacob, Dan & Kristy but maybe someday we'll get to do something with them all.

Corpus Christi

I am a certified Texas School Business Buyer and am in Corpus Christi for a conference. Since Kim and Jill are off for the summer they came with me and are having a mini vacation with Curtis while I work. Somehow this doesn't seem right! Should Grandma be the working one???? The conference starts tonight so we're going to have some fun today at the aquarium. Here's a few pictures of the trip so far.

Quincy

Kim got to enjoy a trip to Quincy to visit his family. We just can't seem to convince his mom that she'd love the weather in Houston, especially in January! We keep trying though!

San Antonio, Texas

We had a wonderful time in San Antonio with my high school friend, Laura, and her husband, Bruce. It's such a wonderful friendship that Laura and I share. We were best friends in HS and college and can pick up after years as if we were never apart. The miles mean nothing! Kim and Bruce had a blast too getting soaked at Sea World!
