1. THERE IS A LOT TO PREPARE FOR! I have always been thankful to be married to an engineer because Leonard is thorough and is a planner…but there have been times in our marriage where it has been a HUGE benefit! – the sudden death of my uncle years ago, where we had to make…

HEADING HOME…
It’s hard to believe this is the last part of our adventure across the country– stopping in Branson, Missouri and then on to Alexandria, Indiana to see Emily !! We spent two days in Branson, and enjoyed the campground and the time to rest for a bit – the two highlights of Branson were a…
FARMINGTON, PART 2!
On one of our USS TR calls, Carol had told us that she was thinking of having a ceremony to honor our sons and all of those who were or still are part of the Theodore Roosevelt – we thought it was a GREAT idea, and were just planning to go to a military memorial…
OFF TO FARMINGTON!
We waved goodbye to the kids and to Nolan (which was hard to do!) and headed to New Mexico! We had a long first day and stopped in Flagstaff, Arizona first – the most AMAZING thing about that stop was the temperature! We had been in hot weather in California, as well as every step…

WHAT A DAY!
Everyone talks about things in Texas being BIG, but let me tell you – I don’t think Texas has trees as big as what we saw in California! We went to Sequoia National Park, and the giant sequoia trees were bigger than anything I have seen! We started out in the morning, and the drive…
NOLAN!
One of the biggest joys of this trip is NOLAN CLARK CASSON!!! He is two and a half, and is one of the funniest kids I know! (Yes, i am biased!). He is keeping us on our toes, and let me tell you….Gaga and Pap are tired by the end of the day – it’s…
CALIFORNIA!
Well…we have been here for a little over a week, and are having such a great time! It sure is different here than Pittsburgh, and we have enjoyed seeing life “the California way” – the most amazing thing about where Andrew and Leigh live is the PRODUCE! Everywhere you go – everywhere you look –…
