More Maui Christmas with the Family






Priceless family pics - Christmas in Maui

Christmas in Maui






Our whole family had a wonderful December in Maui with Charlene and Brian. Dave and Alli rented a room and a little beach house and we and Jon and Angie stayed at Char and Bri's in Haiku. There was a lot of kite boarding and beach time, some hiking, and much longed for grandkid time. We had a white Christmas - the white of the sand. It was a fantastic time.

New Mexico Trip






In November, we went through grand canyon, canyon lakes loup, visited Esther, Marilyn and Denny, through Sedona, the petrified forest and painted desert, then through New Mexico, back through AZ and through Tombstone, and back to the Blocks in San Diego for Thanksgiving.
