We don't have high speed internet here and some days there is just no connectivity which makes it a pretty long process for uploading photos (sometimes 1 picture takes 20-30 minutes to download!...Yikes!) After struggling with the last several posts which tended to be an all day process, I realized its just not worth it. Sooo, until further notice, I will be uploading pictures onto my facebook page (which is MUCH quicker!) I just put pictures up of our recent trips and have several more to add. If you don't have a facebook account, I'm truely sorry....but will continue blogging if and when it becomes a quicker process. </div><div align="center">Hope everyone is enjoying their summer! </div><div align="center"></div><div align="center">Tara</div>The Korsmo'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07179440347025696015noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7086355049525501820.post-67058527614278946882010-07-17T07:03:00.000-07:002010-07-17T14:27:38.807-07:0020 & 21 Months<div align="center">Just a couple fun photos of our lil' man growing up. Right now he's 21 1/2 months old, but I havent posted his 20 month pics yet so here they are together...I cant believe how big he is getting! He says so many words and is really starting to listen when I say "no touch" or "come to mommy" for example...wich is a breath of fresh air! Now that we've gotten into a daily routine and he has some consistency, he's progressing much quicker and seems to be a generally happy boy :) What a little blessing he is to us!<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TEIXdlL4ZSI/AAAAAAAAG78/JW9vHmXNjoQ/s1600/IMG_2361.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494980292311016738" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TEIXdlL4ZSI/AAAAAAAAG78/JW9vHmXNjoQ/s400/IMG_2361.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TEIWpe4X2vI/AAAAAAAAG70/2CjgOfofYms/s1600/IMG_2366.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494979397265382130" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TEIWpe4X2vI/AAAAAAAAG70/2CjgOfofYms/s400/IMG_2366.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TEIV0bfe23I/AAAAAAAAG7s/7YcVNFhi_jU/s1600/IMG_2905.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494978485822610290" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TEIV0bfe23I/AAAAAAAAG7s/7YcVNFhi_jU/s400/IMG_2905.JPG" /></a>I love this angelic little face :)<br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TEIVHeSehYI/AAAAAAAAG7k/leQqO-WH7M4/s1600/IMG_2904.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494977713479255426" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TEIVHeSehYI/AAAAAAAAG7k/leQqO-WH7M4/s400/IMG_2904.JPG" /></a>"Tyler say CHEESE!"<br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TEIUtDRzZYI/AAAAAAAAG7c/F4ZUwdcD3HA/s1600/IMG_2907.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494977259552073090" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TEIUtDRzZYI/AAAAAAAAG7c/F4ZUwdcD3HA/s400/IMG_2907.JPG" /></a> Had to throw in this picture of our sweet Georgia...Tyler is really starting to play with her more.

She takes Chase here once a week for a 20 minutes of singing and dancing just for toddlers. It was so much fun and Tyler had been practicing some of the songs that Chase taught him...he picked 'em up pretty quick because he loves music. I already checked around here in Germany and no rock tots for us; looks like we'll have to keep doing our dancing at the Korsmo Casa :)<br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TDeGom1he5I/AAAAAAAAGws/nB9iJhD5ec0/s1600/IMG_5165.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492006302779538322" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TDeGom1he5I/AAAAAAAAGws/nB9iJhD5ec0/s400/IMG_5165.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TDeGoMtguoI/AAAAAAAAGwk/vV8j_iDo20k/s1600/IMG_5159.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492006295766612610" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TDeGoMtguoI/AAAAAAAAGwk/vV8j_iDo20k/s400/IMG_5159.JPG" /></a> "musical instruments" (20 Toddlers=LOUD!!)<br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TDeGntFyeyI/AAAAAAAAGwc/Ex1HnR7Le2A/s1600/IMG_5155.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492006287278504738" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TDeGntFyeyI/AAAAAAAAGwc/Ex1HnR7Le2A/s400/IMG_5155.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TDeGLAISu1I/AAAAAAAAGwU/B252-8c1HGQ/s1600/IMG_5174.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492005794173074258" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TDeGLAISu1I/AAAAAAAAGwU/B252-8c1HGQ/s400/IMG_5174.JPG" /></a> Mildenhall Air Base has the most AWESOME indoor playground for toddlers up to age 5. Three levels high; fully padded, and not a worry in the world. They have seating surrounding the whole thing and a couple treadmills too. I must say the best part about it is that the coffeehouse is also attached to this so we grabbed our coffee and sat for an hour and a half and let the kids play. It was so nice, because most playgrounds in our area arent toddler friendly so I am still 'hovering' as he's climbing; but not here....I got a chance to relax a bit with a very tasty raspberry white mocha...mmmm<br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TDeFnSX0K1I/AAAAAAAAGwE/TMcmsuLH3FI/s1600/IMG_5177.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492005180594727762" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TDeFnSX0K1I/AAAAAAAAGwE/TMcmsuLH3FI/s400/IMG_5177.JPG" /></a><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492005788457540946" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TDeGKq1mnVI/AAAAAAAAGwM/QsgN5uIiT8k/s400/IMG_5151.JPG" /></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br /></div>End of a long day...time for a bath!!

It's only a 45 minute drive from home so it made for another great day trip. We walked the town, had a picnic, got ice cream, took a river cruise and I took TONS of pictures (this is only a fraction of them!) <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TDNCVjciJVI/AAAAAAAAGvk/wWfMHHvJ1pA/s1600/IMG_2188.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490805308754371922" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TDNCVjciJVI/AAAAAAAAGvk/wWfMHHvJ1pA/s400/IMG_2188.JPG" /></a> We had everything for the picnic but forgot the blanket.<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TDNCUzPjCHI/AAAAAAAAGvc/C1UV8vFKhyE/s1600/IMG_2198.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490805295815002226" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TDNCUzPjCHI/AAAAAAAAGvc/C1UV8vFKhyE/s400/IMG_2198.JPG" /></a>The ruins of Burg-Landshut Castle on the hill<br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TDNCUQH23VI/AAAAAAAAGvU/s7_4MOFxROM/s1600/IMG_2200.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490805286387506514" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TDNCUQH23VI/AAAAAAAAGvU/s7_4MOFxROM/s400/IMG_2200.JPG" /></a> You can see all the vineyards but without all the grapes...it was still end of May.

For those of you who are military; this is a big deal!! Its a game you play on the pool table and only the wives play. There are usually bruises, scratches, and pulled hair in each game (maybe not the pulled hair but wanted to give you the elusion of a cat fight!!) Each squadron builds teams and plays against each other in a tournament about twice a year. I didnt play in this one but you can bet I'll be playing this fall :)<br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TDMxnWksT1I/AAAAAAAAGpk/if7JNgd3SJw/s1600/IMG_5088.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490786922838904658" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TDMxnWksT1I/AAAAAAAAGpk/if7JNgd3SJw/s400/IMG_5088.JPG" /></a> Some guy went around and handed out free jello shots.

We were all stationed together in TX for 4 years and now they are stationed in England. Their hubbies deployed just 1 week prior to Andy deploying so we thought what better time than now to have a reunion!?! They spent a week with me and then Tyler and I flew back to England with them to stay for a week...it was a gret way to 'buy some time' after Andy left. I definately had something fun to look forward to!!<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TCxT7VIFUHI/AAAAAAAAGo0/zWA2FDGp4hU/s1600/IMG_2031.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px;

Although they don't physically change as much in the second year as they do the first, I still keep up the monthly photos just to see the different things he does month to month...month 19 he became obsessed with our telephones. I keep the step stool underneath the chair for kitchen things only because we dont have a closet to put it on. tyler tends to think this is for him as he pulls out the stool and climbs up to get the phone and say "hello". Of course, he typically will do this when he thinks I am not looking :)<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TCdT1vobl_I/AAAAAAAAGkE/zMZ8rAK8ZGw/s1600/IMG_1984.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487446853758457842" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TCdT1vobl_I/AAAAAAAAGkE/zMZ8rAK8ZGw/s400/IMG_1984.JPG" /></a><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TCdT1OfkuTI/AAAAAAAAGj8/AMlV1u1Rpig/s1600/IMG_1986.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487446844862937394" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TCdT1OfkuTI/AAAAAAAAGj8/AMlV1u1Rpig/s400/IMG_1986.JPG" /></a><br /><div><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TCdSru7M5hI/AAAAAAAAGjk/cIEXQ-r0-TE/s1600/IMG_1988.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487445582258431506" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TCdSru7M5hI/AAAAAAAAGjk/cIEXQ-r0-TE/s400/IMG_1988.JPG" /></a> A very BIG "Hello!"<br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TCdSrSo8cjI/AAAAAAAAGjc/-_84T6TCUy0/s1600/IMG_1987.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487445574665663026" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TCdSrSo8cjI/AAAAAAAAGjc/-_84T6TCUy0/s400/IMG_1987.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TCdSMymPhwI/AAAAAAAAGjU/bja43nCpUvk/s1600/IMG_1989.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487445050668320514" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TCdSMymPhwI/AAAAAAAAGjU/bja43nCpUvk/s400/IMG_1989.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TCdSMYxZ5RI/AAAAAAAAGjM/-_PXo3Bc1SU/s1600/IMG_2002.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487445043735815442" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TCdSMYxZ5RI/AAAAAAAAGjM/-_PXo3Bc1SU/s400/IMG_2002.JPG" /></a> This is such a Tyler face...<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487446076168316754" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TCdTIe4fp1I/AAAAAAAAGjs/oFcrue_1_zY/s400/IMG_1983.JPG" /> ...and such a sweet Georgia face :)<br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TCdNZVFyagI/AAAAAAAAGjE/W9J9s0W6lD4/s1600/IMG_2006.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487439768527727106" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TCdNZVFyagI/AAAAAAAAGjE/W9J9s0W6lD4/s400/IMG_2006.JPG" /></a> There was a Tractor Show in the town of Spangdahlem where my friend Brooklyn lives...we met up with her to watch.

The best part of my day is getting a phone call from you and hearing your voice! This summer is already 'flying' by and we can't wait to catch up on some down time when you return. Always praying for you and love you so very much! -Tara, Tyler (& GA :)</p>The Korsmo'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07179440347025696015noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7086355049525501820.post-76800193883369247402010-06-17T12:34:00.000-07:002010-06-17T14:11:13.969-07:00Interlaken, Switzerland<div align="center">Towards the end of April we took a 3 day road trip down to Interlaken, Switzerland. Andy and I both visited here YEARS ago (me for a college class and he for vacation after Academy graduation). It was about a 5.5 hour drive. We stopped in Baden, Baden Germany (known for their Roman baths...we went on a bike ride there before driving through the Black Forest. We spent the night just a bridge across from France and after a 2 hour drive in the morning we were in Interlaken! It was beautiful!!<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TBqD90MWdHI/AAAAAAAAGfc/8nXIX9qIrdo/s1600/IMG_1585.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483840594282706034" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TBqD90MWdHI/AAAAAAAAGfc/8nXIX9qIrdo/s400/IMG_1585.JPG" /></a> I think I am the only blogger who actually writes their captions 'above' the pictures; so I am going to go mainstream and try this 'below' thing...(hint: this caption belongs to the one of Tyler smelling the dandelion :)<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TBqD9fUFajI/AAAAAAAAGfU/CyY9oIAxd1E/s1600/IMG_1587.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483840588677999154" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TBqD9fUFajI/AAAAAAAAGfU/CyY9oIAxd1E/s400/IMG_1587.JPG" /></a>Horse drawn carriage in Baden Baden...sorry you can't see the carriage and this happened to be the only pictures we took here...oh well...moving on...<br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TBqD8iwupkI/AAAAAAAAGfM/Qrs7V_tDE2c/s1600/IMG_1591.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483840572423579202" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TBqD8iwupkI/AAAAAAAAGfM/Qrs7V_tDE2c/s400/IMG_1591.JPG" /></a>Admiring the Black Forest<br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TBqDFm-5FLI/AAAAAAAAGfE/a6PVSqm4xmI/s1600/IMG_1604.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483839628663919794" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TBqDFm-5FLI/AAAAAAAAGfE/a6PVSqm4xmI/s400/IMG_1604.JPG" /></a> Stopping in traffic for nearly a half hour after crossing into Switzerland...the truckers got out and had some coffee :)<br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TBqDFAONXtI/AAAAAAAAGe8/cLtIAA5yvwE/s1600/IMG_1600.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483839618259181266" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TBqDFAONXtI/AAAAAAAAGe8/cLtIAA5yvwE/s400/IMG_1600.JPG" /></a><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483839614585972770" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TBqDEyicqCI/AAAAAAAAGe0/HTAXcXNpY5I/s400/IMG_0145.jpg" /> Here is where we stayed! Not quite ideal for a family with a toddler and a dog; but we did it cause it was cheap and we both stayed here about 9 years ago. So why the hec not!! Its rated one of Europe's top youth hostels with people from all over the world, many of which are either outdoor extremist (Interlaken is the Base Jumping capital of the world), or college students studying abroad. Andy, Tyler, and Georgia fell asleep around 9:30 so I went down and hung out with a bunch of 20 year olds...I've never heard more stories about "who broke up with who" and "I was dating this guy, but then I went overseas...and...and...like...um...."

Interlaken means a "city between two lakes" There are two main lakes that have a turquoise color just like this on the east and west side of the city. To the north and south are the mountains...it couldn't be more beautiful! Anyway, our last day here it rained so we took an hour and a half detour home to drive through Stuttgart and go to an indoor water park. It was such a fun end to our trip and they had the most incredible slide that just launched you in the air about 10 feet!!! There were markers to see how far you flew when you landed....andy and I were competing of course :) It was awesome...I wish I had pictures to prove it. We took Ty down some of the slides too (apparently Germans arent as crazy about height/age restrictions...maybe for good reason..hmmm), anyway he seemed to neither like it or love it which means he can easily be swayed into being a water park fan like his parents :)The Korsmo'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07179440347025696015noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7086355049525501820.post-63914276629614540462010-06-13T11:34:00.001-07:002010-06-13T14:28:06.557-07:00Bike Rides and Eifel Park Zoo<div align="center">It was one of the first nice days this spring, so we went on a bike ride on one of the trails just a couple miles from our house.

Anything with a ring through its nose is not something I want to cross paths with...but wait I just did the other day! I took Ty & Georgia for a run on that same trail just a few pictures above. I'm running back home and a tractor pulls up to a pasture and the farmer lets out a few of these cows with their calf. I'm waiting patiently right behind him when he reverses and leaves. What do I see in front of me; perfectly situated on my trail? This bad boy!! I move closer to go quietly around him and the other 20 cows in the pen start "mooing" the hec out of their lungs! This guy doesnt move and I'm starting to remember the 'fight or flight' chapter I read about in my high school psychology class....hmmm what to do? I move closer and he takes one step closer to me. the other cows are now mooing a sound that somewhat resembles a tune you would hear in a horror flick. I'm telling them sweetly as I inch forward, "it's okay! I'm nice...I won't hurt your calf...I just want to go home quietly". My guardog, Georgia, is no guard at all, as she has somehow managed to hide under the jogging stroller. My only outlet was to vector right into the field with a fresh coat of cow maneaur...hmmm what to do now? All I can say is in the end, we were all safe, the cows got their voices back, and my shoes became best friends with the washing machine and Febreeze :)<br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TBUzKF0ky6I/AAAAAAAAGZ0/p-KJvbUD384/s1600/IMG_1252.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

It's an awesome place for kids of all ages with some rides, an Alpine slide, playground equipment, food, and animals. Most of the rides were still closed since summer wasnt in full swing yet, and their werent many people there; so we got to play and meet some of the animals without any lines.

How do I describe Harry? He is pretty much the town mascott. He has an owner but ventures through the town all day. He starts at our house around 9am and howls outside. Georgia quickly lets me know he is here for his daily visit and rushes for the door. He comes in; gets a few hugs from Tyler and treats from me before he's off to his next house. He usually comes back 2-3 times a day and usually at night before he goes home for bed. <div>You will spot him either laying in different driveways/backyards or getting treats at front doors. Everyone loves him; especially Ty & Georgia...it's always a special treat when he pays us a visit :)<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TA-TEnGRqaI/AAAAAAAAGQE/alD8bCYpyPE/s1600/IMG_1124.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480760978957248930" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TA-TEnGRqaI/AAAAAAAAGQE/alD8bCYpyPE/s400/IMG_1124.JPG" /></a> Tyler loves to just "hang" on Harry.

I have so many posts to do and with the help of my friend Janell, we figured out why my posts were not automatically updating on other blogs...it took us 3 hours, but we did it! So this post should make it to the top of the list rather than reading "Andy's Ride" sitting so lonely at the bottom :) Since I must go in order; these are still pictures from when Andy was here the month of April...we did a few day trips...one of which was the Cologne Cathedral about an hour and a half away. Cologne is a major city, but still has a ton of charm to its city center. I was here 9 years ago in college and saw the cathedral then...how cool to be back! After walking through the city, we drove to Koblenz where the Mosel and Rhine River meet. Since we are in Wine country, these two rivers have the most idyllic villages planted along side the river with castle ruins hovering above on the hillside. It is just beautiful! </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">Walking over the Bridge to get to the cathedral, we saw these love locks everywhere...thousands of them! </div><div align="center"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/TAoCjk6bnuI/AAAAAAAAGPk/azNLbJYe-VQ/s1600/IMG_0552.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

Many of you know our dear friend "old man bill" as we called him. We met him in Del Rio in 2004 when he was quite the 93 year old spitfire! After 4 years in Del Rio, we grew close to our new friend with weekly visits, trips to the doctor, battling cancer together, watching the Spurs, and talking about history...like life during the Great Depression. When Andy was in the states for the month of March, he got word from our friend who was a caretaker for Bill. She told us he was fading and that the doctor gave him just a couple days. Andy, being the thoughtful person that he is, printed pictures of us and Tyler on Walmart.com and had them shipped to her the next day. Tyler's middle name is William which is Bill's first name. When we left Del Rio I just found out that I was pregnant...I told him that if he we had a boy...we would give him his name. Unfortunately Bill and Ty never had the opportunity to meet but we always mailed him photos which in the words of Bill just made him "Tickled Pink!" Our friend showed Bill the pictures and although he could not speak, she said he pointed at us and smiled. She could tell that he knew who we were and was happy to know that although we were so far away we were still with him. At the ripe old age of 99, he took his last breath. This September he would have turned 100!</div><div align="center">It was incredibly hard to recieve this news...we love this man dearly and think of him as another "grandpa". He always gave us the right perspective...God's perspective, demonstrated a life of simplicity, determination, hard work, meaningful relationships, always made us laugh with the things he would say, and just gave us profound wisdom that we will carry with us always....</div><div align="center"><strong></strong></div><div align="center"><strong>Here are a couple of Bill's favorite things:</strong></div><div align="center"><strong></strong></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#990000;">1.) Watching the Spurs while drinking either a Lone Star Beer or Dr. Pepper & Totinos pizza</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#990000;">2.) Emailing or playing Solitaire on his computer...he was quite tech savy for his age!</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#990000;">3.) Sitting on his front porch and counting how many "pickup trucks" that would drive by</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#990000;">4.) Picking up the pecans from his backyard tree and cracking them...then giving them away</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#990000;">5.) Talking about "old times"</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#990000;">6.) Exercising on his Tony Little Gazelle trainer....he did 30 minutes every morning!</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#990000;">7.) Getting visitors...any visitor!</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#990000;">8.) Haning out with his funny old friend Paul</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#990000;">9.) Watching old black n white Western movies</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#990000;">10.) Going to HEB grocery store</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#990000;">11.) Driving his Ford Focus...(although he probably shouldn't have!!)</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#990000;">12.) Talking about politics and the price of EVERYTHING...."these days"</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#990000;">13.) Getting the mail</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#990000;">14.) Lots of hugs, smiles, and handshakes :)</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#990000;">15.) Just sitting in his living room hanging out with the Korsmos!</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#990000;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#990000;">The list could go on and on...but you get the picture...he was quite the man. I am so greatful to know that our friendship doesn't end here. There will be a day when we see him again in heaven and when Tyler will get to meet the man we call "Bill"....until then...he will carry his name for him. We love you Bill!</span></div><div align="center"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/S_HGLcF9LmI/AAAAAAAAGKM/MKjluXFYVyE/s1600/IMGP1979.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472372922053897826" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/S_HGLcF9LmI/AAAAAAAAGKM/MKjluXFYVyE/s400/IMGP1979.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/S_HGLPBG-mI/AAAAAAAAGKE/leFkC7be18s/s1600/IMGP1981.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472372918543907426" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/S_HGLPBG-mI/AAAAAAAAGKE/leFkC7be18s/s400/IMGP1981.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/S_HE9YqxZYI/AAAAAAAAGJ8/ro6n5H0UUq4/s1600/IMGP1980.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472371581104776578" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/S_HE9YqxZYI/AAAAAAAAGJ8/ro6n5H0UUq4/s400/IMGP1980.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/S_HE8xiXD_I/AAAAAAAAGJ0/AV1CP94Z9Gw/s1600/IMGP1982.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472371570600513522" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/S_HE8xiXD_I/AAAAAAAAGJ0/AV1CP94Z9Gw/s400/IMGP1982.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/S_HERPB6FmI/AAAAAAAAGJs/t-fCVmVd0Rg/s1600/IMGP1978.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472370822603216482" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/S_HERPB6FmI/AAAAAAAAGJs/t-fCVmVd0Rg/s400/IMGP1978.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/S_HDiWQKyxI/AAAAAAAAGJk/wArADD-8aZM/s1600/Bill.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472370017088228114" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/S_HDiWQKyxI/AAAAAAAAGJk/wArADD-8aZM/s400/Bill.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/S_HDKMOsNKI/AAAAAAAAGJc/8YfZDP7jlzM/s1600/IMGP0256.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472369602080814242" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/S_HDKMOsNKI/AAAAAAAAGJc/8YfZDP7jlzM/s400/IMGP0256.JPG" /></a> </div></div></div></div><br /></div>The Korsmo'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07179440347025696015noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7086355049525501820.post-84660010060087911132010-05-11T06:54:00.000-07:002010-05-12T06:01:09.488-07:00Budapest, Hungary<div align="center">The week after Andy left for training in the states, I signed up to go on a trip to Budapest for 3 days with a couple other gals in the squadron. I can't believe it only took an hour and a half and I was in Hungary! Eastern Europe is different from Germany (or the Western part in general). It felt much darker, the language obviously different, much more stiff, there wasnt much color or character to the architecture outside the city and there was a ton of grafitti. Don't get me wrong...it was beautiful, but we mostly stayed in the city...I would love to venture out into the countryside to see if my depiction is true. We had a fun trip and got to see all the major sights of the city.

A little interesting fact: In 1944, towards the end of <a title="World War II" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II">World War II</a>, Budapest was partly destroyed by <a title="United Kingdom" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom">British</a> and <a title="United States" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States">American</a> air raids. From 24 December 1944 to 13 February 1945, the city was besieged during the <a class="mw-redirect" title="Battle of Budapest" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Budapest">Battle of Budapest</a>. Budapest suffered major damage caused by the attacking <a class="mw-redirect" title="Soviet" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet">Soviet</a> troops and the defending <a title="Germany" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germany">German</a> and <a title="Hungary" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungary">Hungarian</a> troops. All bridges were destroyed by the Germans. More than 38,000 civilians lost their lives during the conflict.<br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/S-mO9Zbgc8I/AAAAAAAAGFw/RB3Lsm5w-n4/s1600/IMG_0629.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

As some of you know, andy was gone the month of March which also was the time that we moved into our house. After leaving our temporary apartment, we found that we were having some difficulty getting internet in the village we now live in. Long story short; we just got internet last week! I've had off and on connection to it with my iphone but even that doesnt get the greatest reception here. So with all that said...we are up and running, getting settled in our home and I have a TON of photos/posts to catch up on, so keep checking our blog! I'm still trying to figure out why my posts dont automatically come up on other blogs, but until I figure it out, just keep clicking on "Andy's Ride" :) </div><div align="center">We took a little hike in the woods near our apartment the night before Andy left for a month...here we found a tiny prayer chapel</div><div align="center"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/S-IEhEVbJGI/AAAAAAAAGBA/zDkzl5fniW8/s1600/IMG_0490.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

In fact, one of the villages (only 5 minutes from base) has an arched tower you can drive through. The cement has been chipped from the tower where Genearl Patton rode through and "left his mark"...pretty cool! I don't remember the exact number but this cemetary holds well over 5,000 American soldiers from WWII. It is very surreal and sobering to be living in the place where it all happened. </div><div align="center">After visiting the cemetary we took a stroll in one of the city parks and then walked around a part of thte city which is basically set in an old Quarry. It was beautiful!! Enjoy :)<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/S6eYmlhHPkI/AAAAAAAAF-o/0H-sVW1VtGQ/s1600-h/IMG_0457.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px;

After saying goodbye to Andy's family we rented a Dodge Caravan and drove 16 hours up the Appalachian Trail and along the east coast to say good bye to more friends and head to Baltimore Airport. We took 2 days of driving and spent the night in Asheville, NC. We made it up to DC to spend the night with our friends from Laughlin AFB in Texas a few years back. Dropped off our caravan, dog crate and big luggage before borowing another car to drive 3 hours to NJ to stay with more friends! We made it up to Jersey right before the major east coast snow storms hit, but that meant we had to drive back to DC in it the day after! It was a crazy few days, but well worth it when you're in good company :)</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">Here are some pics from the road...<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/S56fPQEucZI/AAAAAAAAF3Q/MQAqFQZ_i4M/s1600-h/IMG_0226.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448967683526521234" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/S56fPQEucZI/AAAAAAAAF3Q/MQAqFQZ_i4M/s400/IMG_0226.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/S56cQXxbb9I/AAAAAAAAF3A/0RoZMCqVCxE/s1600-h/IMG_0239.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448964404238053330" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/S56cQXxbb9I/AAAAAAAAF3A/0RoZMCqVCxE/s400/IMG_0239.JPG" /></a> Our first sight of snow!!<br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/S56ba1r6ciI/AAAAAAAAF24/jkq6KlMHGG0/s1600-h/IMG_0246.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448963484555047458" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/S56ba1r6ciI/AAAAAAAAF24/jkq6KlMHGG0/s400/IMG_0246.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/S56aLp5oOxI/AAAAAAAAF2w/LyjRXZR1zNM/s1600-h/IMG_0247.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448962124181682962" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/S56aLp5oOxI/AAAAAAAAF2w/LyjRXZR1zNM/s400/IMG_0247.JPG" /></a> We are so blessed with such great travel buddies :)<br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/S56YEUceu7I/AAAAAAAAF2o/H-cRaayBUdM/s1600-h/IMG_0250.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448959799139941298" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/S56YEUceu7I/AAAAAAAAF2o/H-cRaayBUdM/s400/IMG_0250.JPG" /></a> We stayed with our friend Beth Ann (on left...unfortunately hubby Jamie was working over the weekend and couldn't be there :( She invited some Laughlin friends over for a reunion party!

After leaving AZ we flew to meet up with them in Birmingham (they are stationed at Columbus AFB, MS) to pick up Georgia. We stayed at the E Suites overnight and hung out playing games in the room, taking a day trip to Petsmart, and a quick lunch before saying goodbye. It was a mere 24 hours but oh so fun! Georgia was more than thrilled to see Andy who she has not seen in 14 months! It was liking fitting on an old hat :) </div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center">On the plane getting ready to take off to Birmingham. Tyler loves getting the window seat.

So many things have been going on here since we arrived to Germany and with no good internet connection, moving, house hunting, and prepping for Andy's deployment; I'm slightly behind in blogging. Although these pictures are still from January and our journey out to Deutschland, hopefully y'all will appreciate that this good German gal has to stay 'in order' before jumping to some pictures of our new terrain! We'll get there soon! Until then, these pics were from the last 2 weekends in Tucson before flying out to pick up Georgia in Alabama. We 'made the rounds' in quite a short time visiting family, friends, old neighbors and so many people we hold dear to us. </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">First off, Andy's Aunt Margaret (aka: Aunt Bunny) and Uncle Dewane</div><div align="center"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/S41XMoRwPYI/AAAAAAAAFq4/Qo9v6xcCjAo/s1600-h/IMG_0032.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444103399042727298" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/S41XMoRwPYI/AAAAAAAAFq4/Qo9v6xcCjAo/s400/IMG_0032.JPG" /></a> Showing off some cool videos of the A-10<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/S41XMPILaBI/AAAAAAAAFqw/FasjsslTwXs/s1600-h/IMG_0029.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444103392291678226" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/S41XMPILaBI/AAAAAAAAFqw/FasjsslTwXs/s400/IMG_0029.JPG" /></a>Ty loved Uncle Dewane :)<br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/S41XLkL6HTI/AAAAAAAAFqo/IVqLyDyBCDE/s1600-h/IMG_3217.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444103380764597554" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/S41XLkL6HTI/AAAAAAAAFqo/IVqLyDyBCDE/s400/IMG_3217.JPG" /></a> ...he also had a thing for Aunt Bunny's eye lashes...<br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/S41WIh7wN4I/AAAAAAAAFqg/0eeH1R-3LG8/s1600-h/IMG_0036.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444102229108733826" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/S41WIh7wN4I/AAAAAAAAFqg/0eeH1R-3LG8/s400/IMG_0036.JPG" /></a>....and space heaters :)<br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/S41WIBVDSlI/AAAAAAAAFqY/dmCzUGJQYdE/s1600-h/IMG_3464.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444102220356471378" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/S41WIBVDSlI/AAAAAAAAFqY/dmCzUGJQYdE/s400/IMG_3464.JPG" /></a> They took us out for some good Italian food while my mom was still here.<br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/S41WH8YWhPI/AAAAAAAAFqQ/38-h4KFOH48/s1600-h/IMG_3221.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444102219028137202" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/S41WH8YWhPI/AAAAAAAAFqQ/38-h4KFOH48/s400/IMG_3221.JPG" /></a>My mom was so gracious to watch Ty for us several times so Andy and I could have a couple date nights.

The C model is what they fly in Germany, so anyone coming from Korea who previously flew the A model needs this course to learn the upgraded Avionics...he's even more pumped about the A-10 after learning all the new gadgets it has. A kid in the candy store, I say :) So, we started the next leg on our journey with a 2 day road trip to Tucson. It was about 16 hours total, so we stopped to see Andy's Aunt & Uncle in L.A. and stayed over night before driving the last 7 hours.

He built this wonderful trailer with no instructions...just some wood, drills, and paint. It worked perfect to lock our stuff in since I had a bunch of things in California for the year. With those racing stripes we would have looked good in Nascar! Sadly enough we just sold both car and trailer this last week in preparation for moving...tear :-(<br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/S2Jat7KD_KI/AAAAAAAAFXg/-NlYUqAYetw/s1600-h/IMG_3040.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432003845582748834" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/S2Jat7KD_KI/AAAAAAAAFXg/-NlYUqAYetw/s400/IMG_3040.JPG" /></a> Getting back to the desert outside of LA with a sea of Windmills....this went on for miles n' miles<br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/S2JatKZrVLI/AAAAAAAAFXY/xQ8issnq7us/s1600-h/IMG_3045.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432003832494904498" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/S2JatKZrVLI/AAAAAAAAFXY/xQ8issnq7us/s400/IMG_3045.JPG" /></a> Serious driver :)<br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/S2JZdZd94PI/AAAAAAAAFXQ/fUx0T_FeSTI/s1600-h/IMG_3047.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432002462149894386" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GhJXdFmy_UA/S2JZdZd94PI/AAAAAAAAFXQ/fUx0T_FeSTI/s400/IMG_3047.JPG" /></a> Since our minivan has the dvd player and I knew how much of a help it was when I drove it down to MS, we had to come up with a plan.
