Wagoner Adventure Log
1997
Since we've been here, we've been on a number of trips. Our first trip was to
Wales. It was great to get out, and see some of the country side
(even if we didn't understand some of their signs). For Alan's Birthday, we decided to go
across The Channel to Belgium. We saw many a sight (and site)
there. We were bored one weekend, so decided to visit Southern
England. For Heidi's Birthday, scuba diving in Egypt.
We spent Christmas in Cornwall.
1998
The beautiful tales of celebrating our First Anniversary (March 9th) in
Paris. July 98, had us back to the
Red Sea for some more great scuba diving!
Oh,
and check our great activity
weekend in the Lake District of Northern England. The
Solomon
Islands were a fantastic way to end the year. 3 weeks of Scuba diving and a
quick trip to Sydney Australia too. We did not do a write up on this trip, but we
spent over 500 hours making a video on a CD ROM. We had a fantastic time and if you wish
to have a CD sent to you just email.
1999
Valentine's and Carnival in
Venice, Italy (Romance and fun).
Don't miss the excitement in Munich, Germany and a quick hop to
Austria Easter weekend 1999.
2000
Our summary of the past year in
Days Gone By
. The big move from Coast
to Coast . We accomplished the Mother's Day
Mission Impossible
. Now that we were East Coasters, it was very convenient
for us to attend Camp Jeep 2000
in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Virginia.
2001
Well, we did make a couple of trips this
year, but neglected to write up a journal. We spent a week in
Bonaire SCUBA
Diving and a long weekend visiting the
Outer Banks of North Carolina.
With a new puppy and building a home, we have been busy.
2002-2004 Busy having a couple of kids and adjusting to our new lifestyle and parenthood.
2005
Well, back on the road again. We
took the kids on a road trip to
Asheville North Carolina
and had a wonderful time. Our Trip to Disney World was
FANTASTIC.
We took over 120 pictures and a few of the best can be viewed by clicking the

long/large page, so if you've got dial-up, open the page, and go get some
coffee. It may take a few minutes. Everything you want to know about
what I did is right here.
- July 4th, 2007 vacation in Philadelphia
We were off to Philly for 4 days and only had plans to go to
Sesame Place. We arrived on the 4th of
July and rested for a bit, then off to
Washington Crossing.
We had just missed an independence day show, but were able to see them packing
up the cannon. Thursday and Friday we spent about 8 hours each day at
Sesame Place. Thursday was rainy all day, so we pretty much had the
park to
ourselves. We figured it was a water park, so we would be wet anyway. Friday it
was very sunny and a bit more crowded, but still not too bad. We sure had fun.
Lars went all of the rides on his own and Anya did most of them as a passenger.
As you may have guessed, we don't have loads of pictures on the rides as it was
a water park. We did manage to take several pictures anyway.

- June Great Wolf Lodge -
Concord, NC (Schools out for summer!)
We decided to take the kids to "The Lodge" to celebrate the end of school
and beginning of summer. Oh what fun it was. We did everything except take loads
of pictures, as we were in water most of the time. We love when the bell began
to ring and we knew the big bucket was going to dump. Anya's favorite
seemed to be the wave pool. Lars and Alan loved the "Tornado", I thought it was
frightening and took me all weekend to work up the nerve to give it a try. Lars
loved playing on the ropes and we all loved the slippery snake as well as the
remaining waterslides.

Park, Kershaw South Carolina
The kids had a blast watching daddy, even though it was 100+ and humid as all
get out. Each time Alan would fly by on the straight closest to us, Lars
would run along side the fence. Each time, Lars would ask "Did I beat daddy?".
:-) I figure Lars was maybe doing 6-7 mph and Alan may 140mph.
