We visited Carl, Donna’s brother, who was living in Oregon at the time. Jan & Steve Penn also joined us. Carl took us on a hike; he took us to see various waterfalls in the area, and all of us went on a fishing trip to Washington state. The most memorable part of this trip was the fact that Carl’s van was stolen while it was sitting in front of his house.

Western US Road Trip – July 1999
This trip was the first trip we took Keith and Chris across the country to visit my family in Dallas & El Paso. We visited Carlsbad Caverns, White Sands NP, Elephant Butte Lake, Petrified Forest, Grand Canyon (did a mule ride), Bryce Canyon, Zion, Pike’s Peak, Mesa Verde NP and the Indianapolis Speedway. We traveled in our Toyota Sienna van and stopped at inexpensive motels at each location.
