This is our cruis ship, Carnival Victory. We had lots of fun. We hope you all have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year.

This is over looking the mountains the Bob Marley is buried.

This is in Jamaica, at Dunns River Falls. You start at the ocean and climb up 900 feet. It was soo much fun.

We went snorkeling in Mexico, the water was very warm

This is us relaxing in Costa Maya Mexico

We went on a cuise over Thanksgiving. We went to Universal Studios on our way down to Miami.

we miss you all so much, we hope to visit soon. Love, Tanner, Kaden and Kali Roark

This is us body surfing in the Atlantic Ocean in November. It wasn't to cold. It was actually pretty warm

Our first weekend in North Carolina we went to Atlantic Beach. This is Fort Macon it was really cool. It was built in 1756 to protect the coast of New England. The walls are 26 feet high and 4.5 feet thick. It was used during the war of 1812. After that from 1867 to 1876 it was used as a prison. In 1923 the state made it into a state park.

This is our house 2121 Braselton Dr Winterville, North Carolina 28590.

We are home, well almost.

After a wrong turn, Flat Stanly and us ended up in Virginia. It was the prettiest state we went through so far.

Look how pretty. We stayed in Knoxville,
Ye Haw

On the road again, I just can't wait to get on the road again. Boring.... After the arch we went through Illinois, we went through Metropolis, home of Superman. Then through Kentucky and on to Tennessee.

This was the little car thing that brought us up to the top.

I don't know if you can read the sigh behind us, it says 630 feet. We rode up in a little five seater car thing. It felt like we were in a space ship. It took 4 minutes to go up and 3 1\2 minutes to get back down. There was a great view of St. Louis and the Mississippi River.

Look can you tell what that is? It is the St. Louis Cardinal's Stadium. Cool huh!!!

This is the Gateway Arch in St. Louis Missouri. And yes we went to the top

Giddy Up

This is Nat, the horse not Tanner. We went riding at my Aunts house in Missouri.

Nebraska was just as flat as Wyoming, but a little prettier. We went through Iowa, then on to Columbia, Missouri to visit my Aunt and Uncle.

ride'em cow girl

You know those pin things that you put your hand in and you can see the impression of your hand, well they had a life size one, it was cool.

We spent the day at the Lincoln Childrens Museum in Lincoln, Nebraska. It was really neat

Look at the traffic lights they are sideways. I think it is because when the tornado's come through they are hooked on better. Just a guess.

Flat Stanley in Nebraska, it was very cold BURRR

We reached Nebraska in the dark so the picture did't work very good.

This is Kali watching a movie to make the time go by faster.

Flat stanley came with us that is him above my head

The first state we went through was Wyoming, it was very barron and we hated it.

Sorry I took so long to get back to you, but we have been so busy. This is me and my family wearing our Atlantic Beach, North Carolina shirts the day we left.
