In the early summer of 2022, we enjoyed a loop trip through Colorado to Illinois, along the Natchez trace to Alex’s graduation in Austin, and then home.
In addition to family gatherings, we also took the opportunity to connect with family history through visits to battlefields, museums, and cemeteries.
