We're all going to hell!

And now for the moment you've been waiting for! The Family Vacation From Hell!

But first, Christmas, 1964, a visit from the Murphys, a trip to Emporia, Christmas, 1965, and a trip to Ohio. The trip to Ohio has no pictures of people. There are pictures of some of our ancestors' headstones in David's Cemetery. I didn't know our grandfather was a Mason. Who are the others?

Then we start our June, 1966, trip of the west. From the pictures (there are 172 of them, 50 in this set), the trip doesn't appear to be that miserable. Coming in the next set are four or five pictures in a campground that probably contain some misery. The rest are pictures of nice scenery (though usually taken from a moving carryall) or visits with relatives (which can be miserable).

I was disappointed that little Doughie doesn't show up until we've left Portland. I wanted to see her as a tiny puppy and I was hoping to see her albino littermate. Oh, well. She doesn't show up much. I guess it's a case of been-there-done-that. We had a flood of Poughie pictures then almost nothing of Doughie.

Let's go to hell!

(Sorry that I'm already going against my desire to reduce the torture content of my blog. I'm not posting all three carousels with our infamous trip all at once. You don't want to overdose. They'll come a set each day for the next few days. Those of you who don't care about family snapshots might want to go outside for a smoke till we get this phase of our lives out of the way.)
