California 2005 Arizona
The French Finleys took a vacation...uh..."a family trip" to California and Arizona.

   

Nine time zones away from home, jetlag takes effect.
Sami wanted to bring it home to France.
Record setting rain in Southern California.
JMF had some fun in the mud with his brother.
Thanks, Eric, for the bike ! Great fun!
We headed South to visit Grandma and Grandpa
...and to find the Sun.
In Arizona's wide open spaces, Samuel ran.
Samuel named grandma's rooster, "Super-sami".
Every morning before 7am, fresh eggs.
Grandma filled a drawer full of fun just for Mikey.
Bisbee, AZ is full of strange and wonderful characters.
These strangers were seen roaming main street.
This wouldn't fit in his suit case either.
Bisbee was a copper mining town.
Now, it's a town for quriky artists and desert hermits.

The transportation...
has changed, but the desert sky is timeless.
We left the kids in AZ with Grandpa and Grandma
Here, 6 yrs ago, Jonathan asked Karen to marry him.
She said yes.
Together, we don't mind the rain.
Happy 30th birthday!
Again, she kissed him here.
The extended Finley family celebrated...
Grandpa and Grandma's 39 years of marriage.
We were happy to see Mikey again.
Mikey's just another blond babe in Newport.

Two brothers and the women who love them.
