Iwo Jima Statue

Jamie, with Fisher, left and Hunter, right. It was COLD that day when we explored the Iwo Jima Statue.

Hunter and Fisher were fascinated by the Iwo Jima statue. They were proud of the soldiers raising our flag.

The Netherlands Carillion

The carillion was built using funds raised by residents of The Netherlands to express their gratitude for aid received from America before, during and after World War II. We were there when the bells rang. It was beautiful.

My first trip to Washington, DC

We drove from the home of my Virginia Family to DC to stay a couple of days. Certainly not long enough to see the city, but at least a start. The photo below is my first sighting of the Washington Memorial. Had to take that picture through the windshield to record my excitement. What a thrill to see the first of the tributes to heros of our country.

The Iwo Jima Statue was really beautiful and thrilling.

Colorado Trip October 2008

Mountains in the White River National Forest on the road to Maroon Bells Scenic Area. Absolutely beautiful day - even when it was snowing. I want to go back to Aspen and Maroon Bells one day, but have so much to see first.

















Snow falling on the mountains.















When the clouds clear....

Jamie and Tracy! Lets go back there!
