For the next 18 months the two of us, Eli and Katy, and our two mutts, Colby and Barlow, will travel the United States three months at a time. Katy, who graduated in December with her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Elon University, is doing travel therapy and will do 13 week rotations at different locations around the country. We're going to try and use this opportunity to experience as much as we can, and then share our adventures with our friends and family.

Christmas Part 2

This was my second Christmas away from home as I spent the Holidays in 2007 overseas in Iraq, but it was Katy's first Thanksgiving and Christmas away from home, so it was a little sad. However, it was extremely nice to have had Dave and Sherry spend five days with us, to be with family despite being 1,500 miles from Virginia, and to have my family coming out in a few days as something to look forward to. On Christmas Eve we celebrated with Aunt Cyndi's partner, Carole's family. We had a wonderful time with them as they are a great group to be with. We did a white elephant gift exchange, ate some wonderful food, and played Shut the Box, a gambling game that Carole's 92 year old mother whooped us at!
On Christmas we woke up and made breakfast together before opening presents. It was a lazy day and nice to just stay in one spot without having to bounce from one house to another, our usual Christmas tradition. The one cool thing about spending Christmas in Denver....it was definitely a white Christmas!
