Karen became quite the traveler in the mid-1970s. She had been to Emporia and now finishes the trip to Washington, DC, that she started in the last batch of pictures.
In this batch of pictures that takes us from April, 1975, to Summer, 1976, we'll see:
- More of Karen's trip to Gettysburg and DC
- A deep snow
- Bobbie's graduation from college
- Christmas, 1975. I can't make out any of the presents I got. I suggested last time that one of the reasons we had no Christmas orgies in 1973 and 1974 might be because we were getting too old for that sort of stuff. I was wrong. It was just the Ewwww-dena factor. She's gone and Christmas is back to normal. It looks like Sandy Klaus gave mom her first microwave oven this year.
- Karen and Jack visited two of his sisters. I've never met Tuck. She and Jack seemed not to exist to each other (see "Sister's Selfish Coat") until their mother died. It looks like Tuck's family loves plaid. If it weren't for Karen, Jack and Tuck's normal clothes I think we would have an "Awkward Family Photos" candidate here.
- They then traveled to Wyoming...
- to see Nene.
- Karen and Jack took another trip in the Summer of 1976 to see his uncle Floyd and Margaret. If Jack had been wearing this outfit back there with Tuck, that would have made the photo truly awkward.
- They went south to see another of Jack's sisters, Herbie.
Karen sure did get around.

I think that even with Karen and Dad in "normal" clothes, the massive quantity of plaid makes for extreme ackwardness
