Jan 2025

Most of my vacations have been in and around Michigan. Chicago, Fort Wayne, Lake Michigan, Mackinac Island, the UP, Detroit. I did fly to Scottsdale, AZ with my first wife for a vacation, and drove to Anadarko, OK, for her Kiowa grandfather's funeral. With my second wife, I had several trips in 2024. Flew to Montego Bay, JA, for a delayed honeymoon, flew to Anchorage, AK, to visit her son, who is stationed up there. Drove to DC to visit my middle child, saw all the sights there. Drove to Ithaca, NY to move my oldest to her new home. Nice town, found a nice running path, she ran 8 miles with me the day after we moved her in. Hope to do much more traveling. So much I want to see.
