I will continue to put my videos on my Facebook page (there's one there so far) so you can take a look. I have several hours of them and have to convert them too--stay tuned!

Africa Trip

Hello everyone!
On December 1, 2009, Gary, Candy and I, along with friend-of-the-family Jessica Cripe took off for our trip to South Africa. We left Portland for LA, then met several of our tour group and boarded our plane for London.

After a 10 hour trip we arrived in London and had an eight hour layover. We then boarded another plane for Capetown, South Africa. That flight took 11 hours. We looked like a mess but arrived in high spirits and ready to see everything!

LOL CATS

Speaking of funny pictures:

My favorite picture

This has to be one of my most favorite pictures from NY City...where else but there!

New York City!

After the wedding, all 7 of us piled in a van and headed for the Big Apple! Here we are on Times Square

What a bunch we are....

So many people! So many tourists! The streets are now blocked off for people, not cars.

So crowded...

We found the Naked Cowboy! Didn't really want to take my picture with him...
