(The postcards we didn't send)
This year Family Kern did separate vacations, Ron & Sue to CA and Nora to North Carolina & then a basketball tournament in Europe. Below are some of the stops Ron & Sue made:
Mission Espada, San Antonio, TX - Tour of San Antonio Missions National Park
Our personal record for hottest temperature in the shade. Measured in both AZ and CA. Our new van has a/c that works!

And surfing at Tourmaline in San Diego
Modern Art Museum in La Jolla for Diego Rivera exhibit
7a.m. at Malibu Pier and 35 guys out already. Too crowded for me!
Getty Art Museum in L.A. The complex was as amazing as the art & collections inside.
