Less gambling, more goats


Pyramids!? Is it Vegas? Nope. It's Egypt. Dean and his crew were off again to sunny and amazing places. Yes, the pyramids were as big as he thought they'd be. (#1 most asked question)


#2 most asked question...Can you go inside? Yes. It isn't nearly as cool as the movies make it out to be. Big stone rooms all stripped by grave robbers.

#3 most asked...did you see any camels? For those of you who don't know, Dean was in the first Gulf war, stationed in Saudi Arabia. Over the last eight years he has been to the Middle East over a dozen times. The man has camel stories. The camels (and their owners) who work the Pyramids have my favorite story. Tourists can pay to ride a camel, have their photo taken. You will, however, have to pay to get down from the camel...

Wow, that is one of the wonders of the world I would definitely like to visit one day, thanks for taking and posting such cool pictures! Also, special thanks to Dean for serving our country for so many years and sacrificing so much so that we can enjoy what we do here in the USA!

I am so proud of Dean ( and our troops) for serving our country and keeping it strong. I wish we could be together more so I could tell and show him and you all my respect and admiration for him.

I would never be able to climb those pyrimids, but I would dearly love to hear the stories Dean has stored up.
Love, Mom

Having you here for Thanksgiving was soooo wonderful. CAN YOU SPELL TRADITION? I know, flying home from Germany might not work. But I was one Happy Mommy. Love you now and forever. MOM
