Trip South - 2010

Jenny and I just returned from a two week trip down south where we attended the Epsilon Alfa Chapter (HPU) Brothers of the Sixties Theta Chi Reunion in Asheville, NC, Greenville, SC to see the Andrew Wyeth Collection at the Greenville County Museum and then to Raleigh area to visit family and especially to attend a party at my niece Dana and her husband Craig's house to welcome my nephew, Ryan home from the Army and Afghanistan and my niece, Lisa, home on an R & R trip from Afghanistan. It was a great party and great to see not only Ryan & Lisa but everyone. More on this trip on later blogs.

Here is just a couple of shots of the trip:

Maj Coleman "serving" Sgt Braswell a piece of the celebration cake!

On every trip south, one must stop at a Bojangles to get a country ham and biscuit or a spicy chicken and biscuit. Great!

I love this shot of my sister's Shirley refrigerator.

Photo of the Week # 32 - Iguazu Falls

Igauzu Falls, with 270 different falls, it is the widest falls in the world, but not the highest; Victoria Falls has that record. The above picture was taken on our trip to South America in 2006.

Photo of the Week # 31 - Lisa in Afghanistan

A special tribute to my niece Lisa who is serving in Afghanistan. She has already served a tour of duty in Iraq. She is a special lady.

Photo of the Week # 30 - Theta Chi Reunion - 2004

We are leaving Tuesday for another reunion for the 1960's members of Epsilon Alpha Chapter of Theta Chi. This picture was taken in the White Mountains of New Hampshire; this was our first reunion. It was great to see brothers whom I hadn't seen in forty years. This year's reunion, our fourth, will be in Asheville, NC. Should be lots of fun!

Photo of the Week # 29 - Yosemite

Every time I go to the Hyde House and see Bierstadt's Yosemite Valley with the Cliffs of El Capitan on the left and Cathedral Rock with the Bridal Veil Falls on the right, I think of the picture I took on our trip there in 2005. This is the same view as Bierstadt painted in 1865, but my picture isn't anywhere as good as his!

Photo of the Week #28 - Venice

Yes, one of the many, many pictures I took while we were in Venice in 2001. This was the end of our European trip.
