In 2010, we planned and executed a fantastic trip to Alaska. It started simple and expanded. It was tons of fun and we had a great time, even though Sarah's much loved sleeping bag got left behind.
Now, a trip to Europe seems to be shaping up. Sarah got the idea to visit the towns and villages of our Doran and Weigel ancestors. Jon wasn't super excited about accompanying her, so she asked Ken if he wanted to go. After being momentarily speechless, he said yes. So now, the quest is on to save up enough frequent flyer miles to get them both to and from Europe in business class.
In the meantime, other family members, including Patte (Ken's sister/Sarah's Aunt), Matthew (Ken's grandson/Sarah's nephew), and possibly Brian (Ken's son/Sarah's brother) have expressed an interest in going. The trip is likely to take place in June 2014, after Matthew is done with school for the year. It will probably be about a two week trip and will hopefully cover all of the areas on this Google Map. The map changes periodically as I find new ancestors and their associated towns.
So stay tuned for updates from the various participants, who will hopefully post their thoughts and preparations over the next couple of years. A logo should be forthcoming as well!
