Time for Trips with Grandchildren Again
We are trying to take each of our grandchildren on a trip someplace in the world when he/she is about 14 years old. So far we have taken seven grandchildren to places like London, Madrid, Paris, Yucatan Pennisula in Mexico, and Costa Rica. Within the next seven months we will take another grandchild to London (one of our favorite places to go in all the world) and another to Canada and Alaska. That will be nine down and thirteen to go! Our purpose is to show them a part of the world they have never visited before and more importantly to spend quality time with them. What a special time this is for us as grandparents!
The day after Christmas, we are taking Joseph (Laura and Jonathan's son) to London for a week. A highlight of that trip will be to see the play, "Wicked" as well as the Tower of London, the British Museum and other famous London spots. We are looking forward to that. Joseph is pictured here with his new baby brother, Caleb.
We will be taking Charity (David and Cindy's daughter) on a cruise up the Inside Passage to Alaska the end of May. We have never been on a real cruise so we are really looking forward to this experience. Charity is fascinated with sealife so this should be a real adventure for her. This picture was taken on her last birthday when she turned 13.

Those boys of Laura's sure look like brothers!
The inside passage is a favorite of mine - I could go there every year! Are you also going to Denali Park? Where are you starting and ending? Which Cruise line? We loved Celebrity. We also loved the train ride from Seward to Anchorage where we rented a car to take to Denali Park. You need two weeks for Alaska!
I'm jealous you are going to Alaska. I want to go too!
