2014: Starting out with a great FAMILY REUNION

Our 2014 summer travels began on May 29th. It was a very different departure from past years when we had to close the house. This year we simply turned the key and locked the door to the condo. Loved the change. The boat, however, required a degree of hurricane preparation as you can see.

Arriving in the Charleston, South Carolina area our family enjoyed a week long reunion at a beach- side house in Folly Beach. All of our kids and grandchildren were there for at least part of the week and it was a grand time. Our kids (it doesn't seem right to call them kids when they are in their late 40's and early 50's), anyway our kids are wonderful parents who raised grandkids who could not make us prouder or happier. They are bright, have marvelous values and they love their grandparents. We loved this reunion. The weather was perfect. Everyone pitched in with mealtime. Lots of laughs and lots of love all week long.
The following are photos of Jennifer, Matt and their children Matthew and Ella. The Falkowskis drove all the way from their home in Madison, Wisconsin to be at the reunion.

George and Cindy with their son, Ryan live in both Islamorada, FL and Concord, NC. Ryan celebrated his 17th birthday at the reunion.

Jon was not available during this photo shoot time but Callan and Brock were there. Both finished their respective semesters with 5 A's and a B.
