I wanted to share some of my favorite times with my Mom!  She is a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart.  I thank you Mom for being who you are Happy Mother’s Day!

1996 we drove from Tucson Arizona to Long Beach Washington.  The whole way we drove up the coast and stopped at some pretty cool places!  

First stop we made was the Grand Canyon.  If you have never been to the Grand Canyon yes it is a big hole in the ground but its pretty cool to see up close and personal.  If you looked straight down from the railing it is quite the drop and a bit scary if you don’t like heights.  But it is very cool to actually see deep into the Grand Canyon and the rock layers are just amazing.  I remember at this spot I was pretty interested in the squirrels.  They would practically let you touch them.

Next stop was the Flintstones Bedrock City.  We didn’t spend much time here but I remember it being pretty cool. Of  course who wouldn’t find the Flintstones cool I mean come on.  I don’t have a picture of my Mom here but here is one of Fred and I.  Don’t we look cute?

Here we have my Mom  in front of some water some where!  I have no clue where but it was part of this trip.

We stopped at many more places on the way but when we finally got to Long Beach we had some pretty darn good times.  My favorite part was when we would ride the horses on the beach.  The horse I liked to ride was JJ.  He was a young fast horse who liked to play around a lot.  The horse my Mom rode liked to stay in the back, but JJ and I were all over the place.

Finally I wanted to share a picture of my Mom and I that I just love.  My Mom took me to Vegas a lot growing up.  I would go to the theme parks at MGM and Circus Circus but my favorite trip was when we went for conferences and shows.  Here is a pic of us at the Harrahs hotel and casino.  We saw the show Spellbound and had an absolute blast.
