Now that all five of us are in this little teacup we need to spin the wheel and so we can get dizzy.
All smiles on the Finding Nemo sub ride.

We sure did celebrate a great person in a wonderful way! Happy Birthday, John!

My Summer Kickoff

2009-06-08T14:38:00.038-06:00

Hurray!!! School is out for the summer. So for Memorial Day weekend Terry and I headed up into Oak City Canyon for a little time out to relax and do a bit of four-wheeling. Oh! The trailer makes camping so easy! Then, came a few days spent in Salt Lake, where Terry worked and I played. One evening we went out to dinner with Dave, Marie, Lauren, and Steve at the Am. Fork Paradise Bakery and Cafe.
Another SL day, my sweet sis, Peggy and I had fun just shopping and hanging out together. On our last evening in SLC Terry took me to Sizzlers, then to The Gateway for treats at the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Co. YUM! Our entertainment was to watch children play around in the water fountain. It was a relaxing and delightful time.We turned around in Delta and the next thing ya know we're headed to Kanab for my granddaughter, Ashley's Baptism. What a joy-filled time it was with Dave, Rachel, Bridger, Braelyn, Bryant, Peter, Nancy, Preston, and of course, Steve, Pam, Ashley, Ryan, and little Emily. The baptism was just for her and that made it even more special. We had a yummy feast and lots of time visiting at the beautiful Jacob Hamblin Park afterwards. GOOD FAMILY TIMES!
Terry headed home Sunday, May 31st and I stayed in Kanab another night. In the morning there was swimming lessons for Ashley and Ryan. Pam took me to St. George where I met up with my sisters, Sandy and Peggy for our third "Sweet Sisters Retreat". We missed having Penny with us this time. So on Monday, June 1st we had fine accommodations at the Worldmark Timeshares in St. George - thanks to Sandy. While together, we visited Zion's Nat. Park, rode the shuttle, hiked the River Walk Trail and later in the evening we put flowers on our grandparents, Sam and Veva Harmon's graves in Overton, NV. We also went to dinner with Aunt Lorraine and Uncle Gail. who live in Logandale. The next morning, Thursday, we went to the St. George Temple and to the Bear Paw Cafe for lunch. Did I tell you that we had root beer floats for breakfast? Someone had to enjoy the vanilla ice cream and root beer.

WOW! It's time to head back to Delta and get packed for five more days in Zion National Park at another rip roaring Lisonbee Reunion with all my immediate family. That's 26 reasons to be happy!!!

Our Nation's Capital - Washington D.C

2008-07-10T16:46:00.016-06:00

Following three pleasant days with Dave, Marie, and Lauren Terry and I hopped aboard Amtrack. We arrived at Union Station, DC in the afternoon.

Our five night stay was at the Marriott Residence Inn, 333 E Street, SW. The comfortable suite was on the 13th Floor. BTW - That is our lucky number. Terry purposed almost 36 years ago on a Friday 13th. Our room included a full breakfast, as well as dinner.

We took a long walk to find the nearest grocery store. With groceries to carry back to our hotel we decided to give The Metro Subway a try. It had to be shorter walk, and it was.

Our first full day in DC was filled with seeing the Mall & most of the DC Monuments with the help of Tourmobile
with a guide. We were glad that we bought 2-day passes because there was no way that we could see so much on foot. The bus allowed us could get off and back on another bus that made the route.Mid-morning we rode to Arlington Cemetery where we went to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, The Arlington House, where we ate our packed lunch. Later, we walked to my favorite place, The Iwo Jima Marine Monument.

That evening we took the Metro to Chinatown and ended up watching a upbeat musical performance by the Naval Academy at the beautiful fountain and amphitheater at the Naval Monument.

Our 2nd day we rode the bus to the Jefferson Monument, then enjoyed a leisurely walk around the tidal basin to see all of the other monuments and memorials. We saw The Korean War, Lincoln Memorial, F.D. Roosevelt Memorial, Vietnam War Memorial, The Holocaust Museum, and The National Aquarium.

That evening we enjoyed dinner at Potbellies and saw Indiana Jones...at The Gallery Place.

Thursday was packed with seeing the Capital, going into both The Senate and House of Representatives Chambers. (Both were in session.) We took in the Nat. Botanical Gardens, The Air and Space Museum - saw The Surveyor - Grandpa Harmon had a hand in engineering several parts -it landed on the moon.

Smithsonian Air and Space Museum - Surveyor

In the evening we had another adventure as we took the Metro, a Metro Bus, and then a taxi to get to the DC Temple. We made it for the last session.

Our last full day, Friday, we got up early and went to get tickets to go up the Washington Monument. But decided instead to go into the National Archives . It was a reverent thrill to look at the actual documents that our blessed country was formed upon. I felt a love and gratitude rise in my heart for their special role establishing The United States of America.

I had a chance to shop at a H & M Clothing Store. Marie had told me how much she enjoyed shopping at the H & M in Virginia.

For Lunch we enjoyed wraps and a shake at the Old Post Office. After a rest we took off for the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. It was huge and full of fantastic exhibits.

We especially enjoyed the Geology, Gems, and Minerals area. We saw the blue 45.52-carat Hope Diamond.

We took a much- needed rest in the hotel's hot tub. A little later we ventured out on the Metro to find the Whole Foods Market. We were able to buy food that we could eat on our trip home.

The kind people we met just added to the enjoyable experience of each historical monument and museum. I think that our next big trip we have our eyes on is The Big Apple - New York.

Of course, I had to bring a little Smithsonian home with us. A Plasma Ball, a Gravitron - Space Gyro, and my favorite the blue and green droplet timer.

Lauren was so delightful as we wandered around the paths. She showed her sweet personality.

Everywhere we walked there were
beautiful green trees, and shrubs, colorful flowers, and elegant fountains. Now we're headed to the World of Wonders: A Children's Adventure Garden. Of course there is lots of refreshing water to play in.
Lauren splashed in the children's fountains and tried to catch water at the frog fountains.
Dave, Marie, and Lauren took us back to the gardens after Church. We enjoyed our lunch there.
