Universities

On our RV trip we visited Cornell and UIUC (where I did undergrad and where James got his Masters).  I thought it would be fun to visit all the universities that James and I had attended so while we were in Kansas we decided to visit KU and when we got home we spent a day at UC Davis.  Now the kids have seen where we went to school and have lots of options.

Sabbatical Trip

We had an amazing trip this summer traveling in an RV from Kansas to the east coast and back to visit old friends and old places.  It was amazing to see friends from 5-10 years ago and have it seem like we just saw them last month.  Each stop was a day packed with good times and great adventures.  I couldn't have wished for a better trip. Someone asked if I would do it again and my answer was an definite "Yes!".
