The Family

OK, so .. here I am. Back at last. Have been on travel for almost an entire month.

Left CO on June 9th to support Kevin in the Assault on Mitchell, which was on June 11 (a Monday). He rode strong, but they pulled time on him just as he entered the park gates (1-2 miles left in a 100+ mile ride). I went rock climbing at Chimney Rock, much fun.

Spent time with Kevin’s aunt and then his cousin; Kevin returned to CO on Wednesday. I spent the rest of the week in SC visiting with friend Beth. Thus ends the first week.

The second week I spent working in the Raleigh office. It was much fun, picked up lots of work and ate at lots of restaurants I missed. Thus ends the second week.

Next was a yearly IT conference, which I attended for the first time. Very useful, very good stuff happened there. Was in Rochester, NY; the hotel had problems (bedbugs, mice, that sort of thing) but the conference was wonderful. On Thursday, we had a field trip to Niagara Falls (Canadian side – I’ve now been outside of the country). Flew back to CO late Friday. Thus ends the third week.

Was back in CO for four days. Did laundry, cleaned house as I could, worked Monday & Tuesday, we flew out Wednesday for Kevin’s family’s annual 4th get together. There were about 50 people in attendance this year. Kevin & I spent some time at an area state park, had the family picnic on Saturday, flew back Sunday. Thus ends the fourth week and the travel, for a time anyway.

That is the totally abbreviated version. Some unlabeled pictures are at http://ramona.4101.org. If anyone wants any further details about any of those trips, let me know. I’m always willing to talk more …
