Brother/Sister Bonding

I just spent the last week back in the States. My little sister, Cory, dun growed up and gradumacated college, so I had to go down and see her make the walk across the stage. It was great to spend some time with my family again as the whole gang was out there supporting Cory. I stuck around in the States for a few extra days so I could help my sister get her car back to California. Road Trip!

Cory and I had an unusual companion accompany us on our trip. Meet Snowmie the Gnomie. He was a graduation gift to Cory.



"Just the three of us" ready to start the journey.



Cory and Snowmie leaving school and moving on to brighter horizons. I think I feel a tear coming on.



Snowmie in Kansas City, Kansas.



Snowmie and some dragsters along the endless road through Kansas.



Snowmie in Topeka, Kansas.



Snowmie and I just chillin' at a historical site in Kansas. This sign probably should have read, "In some long forgotten year, Kansas was made a state and given endless borders in order to cause thousands of automobile drivers to go insane due to the never ending monotony of driving across our beloved flat state." I guess it sure beats riding across the state on horseback.



Cory, Snowmie, and Gorilla. Grrr!



On this road trip I learned that Cory always sleeps with her mouth open. This provided a lot of entertainment for me as we drove across Kansas.



A funny license plate.




This is Kansas. Oh and it looks like this for 430 miles. Sweet.



Yes Dorothy, this is Kansas. Fake Palm Trees and all.



Snowmie the Gnomie keeping up with Foreign Affairs now that we've safely arrived in Denver, Colorado.



Finally some topography! God Bless Colorado! Wish I hadn't left my skis in Canada...



Loveland Pass. Lots of good skiing still left in mid June.



Snowmie providing moral support while I take care of business inside.



Snowmie the Arborist.




Snowmie and Cory in Utah.



Snowmie in Vegas.



The green man trying his luck.



Gas prices in the California desert finally catch up to what I've been paying in Canada for the last six months.



"Snowmie, I think we need a coffee break after all this driving."



Mission Accomplished.
