Vacations 2003

 

     We took a few small trips in 2003, including regular visits to Danny in San Marcos, and a couple to visit Angela in Lubbock.  We also visited Ohio twice, and also spent some time in Hope Arkansas.  Eureka Springs Arkansas, Branson Missouri, and Paris Texas were destinations for our 25th anniversary in October (click here for anniversary photos).  Here are some photos.  (Click on each picture for a larger view)

Paul saw snow for the first time in years during a Thanksgiving trip to Ohio.  The temperature stayed below freezing for over 24-hours.  No big deal to you yankees, but to a thin-blooded Houstonian it was a rare event!
