Arizona –pics

June 2002: Arizona has so many different land formations than you think of when you picture the state.  We saw the Grand Canyon, the Painted Desert, visited Sedona with the red rock formations, and drove through the mountains.  We also saw the Arizona most people picture,  flat desert land and cacti.  Click to see pictures!

Missouri

Christmas 2001: We took at trip to Branson over Christmas break and had a great time. We saw a man perform who played two different songs on two different pianos, watched some other shows, went to Silver Dollar City, and ate a lot. I don’t have any pictures from the shows (cause it wasn’t allowed) but I’ve got pics of us after a Mary Kay party.

Summer 2001:
Trip to Montana including a visit to Canada. Lots of wildlife and wonderful views. It was great! We went hiking and spent some time shopping. We drove through Glacier National Park and saw all sorts of wildlife including mountain goats.

Texas

We have vacationed in many different places in Texas; Galveston, Tyler, Lake Palestine, and Port Aransas are just a few of the places we have been. We used to go to Port Aransas every spring break with family friends but since we got into high school, we haven’t had that much of a break.

North Carolina

My parents went without Lisa and I because we had Dance Camp smack in the middle of the vacation they had planned. So they took on one of Amy’s friends and they had a blast. Since I didn’t go, I don’t have any pictures. But I’m sure you could ask Mom, Dad, or Amy how this vacation went.

Florida

We went to Florida for Christmas break! We didn’t have a Christmas tree so we decorated the palm tree in our room with Christmas lights and put our presents underneath it. Dad walked to the beach in his cowboy hat and said “Howdy” to everyone. This trip included a snorkeling trip to the keys and a learn how to scuba dive lesson in the swimming pool. It was neat!

Arkansas

The only thing I remember about this vacation is that it was a real nice resort and that it rained all week!

New Mexico

Our first time share vacation! We stayed in Rioudosa and went skiing. The Jeter family traveled with us and we had a great time. We also visited White Sands (its gypsum), and a ghost town.
