We missed our annual road trip in 2012. Karen went to England and France and I went on my Ancestry Tour to the Channel Islands. Karen has been renovating her house and isn't quite sure if she wants to run away or stay home and finish putting things back together. Running away wins.
This year ended up being all about giant things - mountains, trees, volcanoes and sea stacks. Everything was big so we called our trip Western Giants. |
