And He’s Off

We had a wonderful walk, it felt so good with the warm sun touching us.  As we turned a corner my grandson took off.  He was loving it, too!

Excitement

It is so fun to see the excitement and enthusiasm of a little one on a bike, even if the bike has training wheels, they are just as fun to watch!

Grandson

I LOVE taking photos of BIKES and it is even more fun when my grandson is riding it!

On the Sidewalk

I loved seeing how excited my grandson was to ride his bike as we went on a walk!  So, along the sidewalk we went.  I can still remember how excited I was to ride my bike and I would have loved to have had my grandmother come along with me!

Playground

We had a fun walk, then I rested while my grandson left his bike and played on the playground.  It was a beautiful warm day!

Old Cars

I LOVE old cars and so it was fun to sit and RELAX with my feet up and look at these cars that brought back a lot of memories from my childhood!  We had a wonderful time at Universal Studios, such a fun place!

Hogwarts Express

As we waited for our turn on the Hogwarts Express, at Universal Orlando, we passed piles of suitcases, waiting for those traveling far and wide.

Landing

WOW, it was beautiful as we landed on our trip last April!  Florida is beautiful from the air.

Racing

On our way to Southern Utah, this past week-end we saw a lot of snow. Soon, there was a train next to us, so we pretended we were racing it. Of course, they didn’t know about the race, but we did win.

USS Constitution

The USS Constitution is the world’s oldest commissioned naval vessel afloat, launching in 1797.  In 2016 we were able to walk around the USS Constitution while she is in dry dock and as skilled people work to restore her.  As we walked around I thought, if only she could speak, what stories she could tell!

Bunker Hill Monument

Last year as we walked along the Freedom Trail in Boston, we crossed a bridge and from there we had a nice view of the Bunker Hill Monument across Boston Harbor.  It was here that the battle of Bunker Hill took place on June 17, 1775.

Landing

On our way to Kauai, Hawaii, we landed at LAX. Freeways are always busy there, but today they are beautiful as we land. I yelled out HI to our daughter, Ashley and her husband, Michael!

Pirate Cruise

New Plymouth, Massachusetts

Today is one of our grandson’s birthday and so we called and wished him a HAPYY BIRTHDAY and told him that we have a gift for him and we will bring it to him when we get home.  He was happy.  Well, this grandson LOVES pirates and anything about pirates, so on Saturday I took this photo for him and then made it into a post-card and sent it to him.  I wrote to him; ‘while we were on a boat we saw this little pirate ship and thought of you!  If you had been here with us, we would have taken you on a PIRATE CRUISE!  Would that have been fun?’

Now, how fun is that?  A PIRATE CRUISE!

 

Mayflower II

We had a fun time in Plymouth, Massachusetts where we took a cruise out on Plymouth Harbor.  While passing the Mayflower II, I snapped this photo.  The Mayflower II is a replica of the 17th-century ship Mayflower that transported the Pilgrims to the New World in 1620.  There were 102 passengers with about 30 crew.  Every time I look at the Mayflower, I am amazed that so many people fit on it and sailed across the Atlantic Ocean nearly 400 years ago.

Cool Helicopter

As we were walking along the Potomac River this cool helicopter flew over head, I couldn’t resist taking a photo of it!

BIKES Thru My Eyes

img_0211Washington D. C.

We took the Metro into Washington DC and had a great walk around the National Mall.  The National Mall is nearly 2 miles long and over 1,000′ wide in some areas.  So, it is really large and would entail a lot of walking to do all of it.  So, we started about half way at the Washington Monument and went towards the Lincoln Memorial.  From the World War II Memorial you can see the US Capitol Building peaking up over the horizon behind the Washington Monument.

The Metro

We took the metro to get to the National Mall in the center of Washington DC, we had a great day!

 

Hard Head Creek

We went to dinner with some friends who we have known for over 35 years, it was so good to see them!  Our dinner at Caron’s Creekside Restaurant was delicious and it was so fun to be together with them.  Before we ate I went out on the dock and took photos of Hard Head Creek, the boats and and the beautiful scenery!

Sailing on Chesapeake Bay

It was a beautiful day as we walked along the water’s edge and watched the sailboats sailing on Chesapeake Bay with the The Francis Scott Key Bridge, also known as the Outer Harbor Bridge or simply the Key Bridge, in the background.

Central Pacific’s locomotive Juniper re-enacts the completion of the first Transcontinental Railroad as it approaches the Union Pacific Railroad’s locomotive No. 119. This happened on May 10, 1869 in Promontory, Utah Territory.
