2008 Year End Summary

We finally made it to Washington only to see that they had got their fair share of snow too. We built a snowman with the Jared Brown Family and were pretty lazy the rest of the trip. The whole family went on the Snowball Express to the North Pole and the train ride was fun but FREEZING. Mark and I came back to Vegas for New Years and spent it with his sisters and their husbands. Adios 2008!

Snow in Las Vegas (very late post)

It snowed the day we were supposed to leave for Washington. I say "were" because all of the flights were cancelled from Vegas and we had to leave the next day. It was the worst snowstorm in 30 years.

Hilary Comes to town 2!

The second day Hil was here we went to the Hoover Dam and took a tour. It was very interesting and we had a good time learning how it was built. We also stood in two different states (Arizona and Nevada) in a matter of seconds. We took pictures to prove it with the clocks in the background but while staring up at the camera the sun was so bright our eyes hurt. So don't worry we weren't crying. Thanks for the visit little Hil!

Hilary Comes to Town!

My good friend and college roommate came to visit me the weekend before Thanksgiving. The day she came in we went to the M&M and Coke factories, drove up and down the strip to see how it had changed, and went shopping at the outlets.

Frankfurt

We flew into Frankfurt, Germany where the Brown Family lived from 1984-1986. We tried to find our old living quarters but ended up wandering around in the general area but never finding it. However, we did find the hospital where the famous Jimmy Brown was born. We also went to the chapel we attended while in Frankfurt. The next day we took the train to Paris. Our last day was also spent in Frankfurt. We went downtown to do some shopping (bought our cucko clock) and eat some wienersnitzel in the old town square.
