Herb and Gert at their 50th Wedding Anniversary celebration August 6th 2005

As vacations go this one has been by far our best one yet. 

We started our  vacation trip just before Memorial day and traveled to Claremore Oklahoma to visit with my brother Ron and his family as well as my sister Luella and her family who came down to Ron’s place for Memorial Day.

From there we spent our next evening in beautiful Santa Rosa, New Mexico.  After that it was down to Phoenix where we visited with mom and dad and grandma.

Our next step in this trip took us up to Flagstaff to camp while we took in the

Verde Valley Railroad Excursion ride.  We also went to a Deer park with Scott and Debbie as we visited with them during this leg of the trip

Next up was the Grand Canyon and what a beautiful place that is.  We spent the day here and did all those souvenir shopping things.

On our next day it was time to head for home so we once again Stopped in Santa Rosa, and then on to Oklahoma City.  We then stopped next in North Little Rock Arkansas before completing our journey home. 

This was a 2 week trip in our camper and everyone really got along great in such a confined space for that long of time. 

I guess it helped that we like each other.

On August 6th 2005 Herb and Gert Hinds celebrated their 50th (Golden) anniversary.  On hand for the event were 6 of their 8 children plus many of their friends. At first I was

dad renewed their vows.  After mass there was a gathering in the church activity hall to continue the celebration with food and music.

This was a great evening and I was delighted that I could be a part of it.
