Reunions and other travels



By now there is enough stuff floating around on the web about the Smith/Ellis/Fitzgerald family reunion - that you don't need my two cents worth. For a fine accounting take a look at Dooga-Dooga, Open Space , The Halblog, or Eat Your Broccoli.

I am late because I've been really struggling with uploading images and getting back in the groove of all the other stuff happening of late. When our small nuclear group left the reunion - we headed back towards Seattle (and our flight home) through the mountains of British Columbia.



We spent some time at Manning Park, on Rinty's suggestion (thanks!). About the size of Connecticut - it is an amazing series of mountains, lakes, trails, alpine flowers, aminals....I'd highly recommend a trip there for anyone. Then on to Vancouver - we were immediately in love with this beautiful, dynamic city - all of us for our own reasons. Mine was (without a doubt) the University of British Columbia Museum of Anthropology. A wonderful collection of First People artifacts - enough to study and learn from for a lifetime.

Nothing but beautiful people in our family, Monnie - including you! I was thinking today of what you must have been doing a year ago at this time...a special anniversary is coming up for you and Jim! Happy, happy....
