Brian Allen’s Place

Father Gary New baptized our Katie Beth today. We followed the baptism with brunch at our house.

I will be posting photos soon.

Today is Karen’s birthday!

Happy Birthday Karen!

We are back home after long trip to Colorado Springs for my work. My work was on FTG-05, which was a missile test. You can see more about it here.

You can see our journey on my blog here. Here are some high lights:

I tracked our trip on our Garmin 60CSx GPS and you can see our route here.
We got to try out our new video camera. You can see samples here with more to come.
Karen got to make a snowman, which you can see here.
Katie Beth was given a gift a knitted hat, which you can see here.

The only bummers is that we were always fighting off sickness during the trip.

We are home still recovering from our sicknesses and trying to catch up on our shopping.

Karen has a new illness which has her in bed. Hopefully, she will start improving soon.

I am shopping with Katie Beth. We are heading home to make lunch and put Katie Beth down for a nap. I picked up some chicken broth for Karen.

Our train is near the outer parts of Memphis. Katie Beth is still sleeping.

We see the lighted bridges that span the Mississippi River.

Taken from our train window near Neponset, Illinois.

We are traveling just east of Afton, Iowa and we pasted over the Thompson river, which is almost frozen.

Katie Beth is sleeping. Karen is reading “The Main Corpse” by Daine Mott Davidson. I’m blogging.

Katie Beth and I are still sick. My head feels like it could pop. Relief needs to come soon or I could be jumping from the train.

As we wait, we wait in comfort at the Wynkoop Brewing Company in the pool room up stairs. (Beautiful!)

We are running Katie Beth to tire her out.

We are driving to the station with the Hertz driver. Everyone is tired and ready for home.

Yea!

We are finally heading home. We left Huntsville on November 15th and we will be back finally on December 10th.

Tomorrow, we board our train in Denver to start rolling towards Chicago.

With all of our traveling, we got to experience Halloween and Thanksgiving in Colorado Springs.
