A Year of Traveling Furiously

Dean and Mary Ann spent a lot of time on the road in 2005, some of it on our own, and some of it together.  Here are some recollections, with links to stories and pictures.

  1. Jan 7-9.    Emily's wedding in Kansas City.  I'd never met her, but she's my cousin Bob's daughter.  I spent three days there with him and his sister, neither of whom I'd seen for about 40 years. 

  2.  Feb. 25-28.  Up to New York City to see the Christo Gates in Central Park, then down to Washington, DC,  for another Soup Bowl.

  3. March 12 - 13.  Hang gliding lessons in Chattanooga with Myles while Dave and Mary Ann watched and wondered.

  4. March 13 - 30.  Road trip!  Four thousand miles on back roads.  I drove solo to Grand Junction, Colorado, for Aunt Bonnie's 104th birthday, with lots of stops before and after. Mary Ann joined me in Denver for a few days.  

  5. May 8.  Back to Chattanooga with Myles for more hang gliding lessons--this time time to really glide!  He loved it.  I was scared.

  6. June 4 -17.  Mary Ann went to Tanzania.  Two weeks of really hard work.  She did so well, they're sending her back to a couple more African countries.

  7. July 3-16.  We went to Alaska.   Bears!  Whales!  Salmon!  Glaciers!   Huge flowers!  Double wonderful.

  8. Sept. 14-19.  Dean to New England as a traveling handy man.

  9. Oct. 1-11.  To California with Mary Ann for my 50th high school reunion and lots more, including a visit to the remains of a WWII bomber that crashed just above our ranch when I was a boy.

  10. Dec. 8-19.  To Illinois to visit friends and relatives in Springfield and to help remodel Dylan & Laura's house in Watson for the April arrival of the next Fenley.
