2009 - Miles In Review - "Rolling" In The New Year


Get it? Rolling...roll-ing, you know, like a cinnamon Roll. Oh yes, we are having a tasty start to 2010 and we hope you are too.


Perhaps a new tradition has begun here at our house. Jess made cinnamon rolls completely from scratch, including the cream cheese frosting. One word: Wow.




And, as we sit here waiting for our sugar coma to take over we thought we'd take a moment to review what has been, for us, a rather well traveled year. According to our rough calculations on Google Earth, as the crow flies, we have traveled no less than 18,968 miles - that's 30,525 kilometers, in 2009!



Let's see, at this time last year we were in Colorado Springs, CO.

Then we traveled the Kansas City area for our Missouri/Kansas "farewell tour," as it was duely titled - January.












Then back to Colorado Springs, up to Denver and off to Virginia for FPO (Field Personnel Orienation) - January through March.












...Back to Colorado Springs - March/April...







...And down to Albuquerque for Easter - April...








...Grandma's house (Colorado Springs)...

...Denver...Atlanta...San Jose, Costa Rica - April 27th!



San Jose, Denver, Kansas City...A Bittersweet Reunion - August.

One final stint in Costa Rica - August...


...And finally to Santiago, Chile via Lima, Peru - August 16th.


A few more hours on the road brought us...home. Temuco, Chile. August - December

...And the adventures continue. Whew! What a year.
