This gallery has a couple different events in it. In July, we went to Houston to pick up some stuff at Debbie's parents' condo. We decided to take the birds on the road trip. We had another road trip in August/September but you will find those photos in the Katrina gallery. In October, we tried our hands at indoor rock climbing. At Thanksgiving, we took a road trip to Las Cruces.
