I took scads of photos of the trip, and have uploaded them into my computer and then to Photobucket so I can post them here. I just need a few spare hours to post them all and write the commentary.
I'm most certainly going to try to ride out to Miramar next year. I guess it will depend on if I can get the four or five weeks off that I'll need to cruise out there, a couple days for the reunion, then up to my sister's for a week or so, then back home.
I've already been saving up my vacation time for the past year or so, so I'll have a pretty decent collection of vacation days by next fall.

Wow, There are 13 people viewing this page and no one has anything to post? Will I figured out how we could save a ton of money with the Gov.? Get rid of half the Senators and half the congress and vote the other half out. Then elect only people that are not millionares and make that a law. We would then have people who really do know how tough it is and would feel our pain? What are your thoughts? Mikeyb

Hello to all, All is well in the central US. Got big storm brewing in the southwest, they say we could get up to a foot of snow before its all over, winds of 35- 45 mph will whip up drifts to 5 to 10 feet. I say let her snow and blow. Hope this finds all well and done with the Christmas shopping.

20 inches of snow in Baltimore over the weekend, and more predicted Christmas Eve, spending Christmas/New Years in West Virginia where its already over two feet, white christmas for me and mine!! Luckily Santa is probably bringing me coal for the fire.
