We are proud of our niece too. <br /><br />Tatyana, we did cover a lot of ground, but sure glad to be home!<br /><br />Lola, I love the poppies too. I like seeing the countryside too.<br /><br />Ray, what part of NY are you from?<br /><br />Jennifer, thanks, we did have a nice trip. It sure got too hot quickly!<br /><br />Tina, thanks! It was fun to see my old stomping grounds. <br /><br />Kathleen, What a fun coincidence, we should know each other with all the pathcrossing! I hadn't realized we had traveled so much until you mentioned it. Funny.<br /><br />Racquel, it was a great trip to see all the family.<br /><br />Janet, I couldn't believe those azaleas, what were those people thinking?? Food fights--I worked in the dishroom and we would scrap the plates before putting them into the giant dishwasher. Sometimes we got a little crazy. Red jello stains the worst, followed by yellow mustard.<br /><br />Daricia, sure, thanks for the help! <br /><br />Cameron, thanks!<br /><br />Rosey, She is a great young lady, we are proud. I am glad I got help with my mystery plant too.<br /><br />Darla, It is a small world! Did your husband go up to WP for graduation? We have gone to four USMA graduations. Liked Adm. Mullen's speech the best of all of them.<br /><br />Catherine, it was a lot of fun to go up to West Point. I went to 6-8th grade there, so it is like going home. One day I will get to come out and see more of your part of the country.Janet, The Queen of Seafordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876204203323750245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119628314111837184.post-58596790813033626682011-06-01T09:57:41.180-04:002011-06-01T09:57:41.180-04:00Very exciting that your niece graduated from Westp...Very exciting that your niece graduated from Westpoint! Sounds like a really fun road trip, you get to see so much more than if you were on a plane.

Also my brother is an optometrist at West Point so those photos were endearing to me as well. Congrats to your niece ~ graduating from there is a great achievement. <br />Sounds like another good road trip ~ you've already traveled across most of the country this year and it's still only May! Hope you're having a good Memorial Day holiday.Kathleenhttp://kaseyskorner.typepad.com/kaseys_korner/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119628314111837184.post-68546896267981552832011-05-30T10:46:20.156-04:002011-05-30T10:46:20.156-04:00Congrats to your niece.
