Ten days and four thousand miles was our investment this Christmas vacation to see family… Well worth it! We drove the southern route past California, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas on the way to Jayhawk country. We stayed at my son’s place – and got to see his family as well as their new addition, our grandbaby: Kuyper Noel. Having the rest of the family members with us was an incredible blessing – we had a memorable Christmas. J
We came back through Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, and finally our home state California using Route 66 (New “40”) – in route we visited the Grand Canyon – oy vey ! What a treat to see it in Winter!
In route we went through two books: Sara Paretsky, “Bleeding Kansas” a very interesting novel about Kansas and the Lawrence area – we were fully entertained and learned a lot about the history of the place. The second book was much more interesting to me, “Measuring the World” by Daniel Kehlamnn is a historical novel about the scientist adventurer Alexander Von Humboldt and the mathematician Carl Fredrich Gauss – this book is highly recommended.
Ten days – incredibly packed!

Hola tio!
Me gusta el nuevo aspecto del blog, los nuevos colores se ven muy bien!
Hermosas fotos de la vacacion. Yo estoy planificando ir al Gran Cañon con una amiga de la secundaria, para Memorial Day. Es uno de los sitios que sigue en mi lista de "must see in the US", junto con NYC y Yosemite.
Te mando un abrazo desde la costa Este :)
