Grand Tour Road Trip II: Summer 2007

The first Grand Tour Road Trip began in Florida and took Mom, Elisabeth, William, and Jesse to visit all the brothers living away from home at the time. That was three years ago this October. We visited Nate at his Air Force school in Texas. Spent a long weekend with Peter and his family in Colorado. Ben took the train to Colorado and drove with us to Indiana to see him and Matt. Then we headed south again and saw Jon at Covenant College before returning home to Valrico.

The Second Grand Tour Road Trip began in Maryland this June and took Pop, Mom, Thomas, David, Stephen, Elisabeth, William, and Jesse to see all the brothers living away from home. We drove to Indiana where we saw Matt (now engaged to Emily, hurrah!); Ben and Michal with their first-born son Daniel; Jon; and Nate who had ridden his motorcycle from Louisiana. After a short week in Indiana we, along with Jon and Nate, drove to Colorado to see Peter, Jess, Jude, Ashley and Aravis. Here is a photo of the Colorado contingent (minus Jess who was working) at the top of Pike's Peak.
