Crazy Cousin Reunion . . . and More!

At the request of a dear friend, here is an outline of the itinerary for this wondrous two-month trek called "Crazy Cousin Reunion . . . and More!"

We began by driving across Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado to South Dakota, where you know we've already been, if you've been reading the blog.

From South Dakota to Nebraska and Illinois -- we are currently just north of Chicago for two days, we go on to Indiana. Merrilyn & Jack will spend the Indiana time with Jack's family and friends, as Indiana is "home" to him, while we spend time friends.

From Indiana, we'll hook up again with Merrilyn & Jack and head for the greater Toronto area where we'll visit many family and friends and attend the event that was the catalyst for this entire trip, the Crazy Cousin Reunion. What fun it will be to spend time with the cousins on my dad's side of the family and to catch up with them! The first and only other CCR was in July of 1999.

After the reunion, Merrilyn & Jack will fly from Buffalo back to northeastern Washington where they live, while we'll go on across New York, New England, down the east coast, across the south, finishing with a weekend with our precious little Mea in Las Cruces, NM, then back to Southern California, with our tentative date for returning home being 10 October.
