History in a series of cannons...

After posting the last photo of me with the cannon at the Palo Alto Battlefield in south Texas, I went looking at my battlefield photographs. For years my parents and I visited Civil War battlefields in multiple states during summer holidays.

Tuesday's excitement - trip to SeaWorld San Antonio and behind the scenes experience in the penguin habitat!  

Behind on blog posting...

Sorry readers, I am behind on blog posting.  My parents are here for vacation and we are working on making some recent family history, and I am also having some sinus issues.  We spent two days in Houston at the Natural Science museum and saw the Terra Cotta warriors exhibit as well as the Titanic exhibit.  Tomorrow we are off to see penguins at SeaWorld San Antonio and will participate in a feeding session.

I wasn't allowed to take photos at the Titanic exhibit, but here are some of the Terra Cotta Warriors.

Warriors found in Pit 2. 

Beautiful terra cotta horse.

After the Terra Cotta Warriors exhibit, we visited the newly opened Paleontology Hall.  I love dinosaurs and always have.  My fav? Stegosaurus.

I was also lucky to be able to spend 1/2 an hour at the Clayton Library and did some digging in periodicals.  The one book I was looking for had no additional data on my guy, so I ran to periodicals and found two articles on my ROGERS Mayflower family.

Something a little different....

Terrible photo of me, taken by my mom, at Stonehenge in November, 2003.

Usually I am the one taking the photos - I don't like to be in front of the camera.
