Fun Filled Summer Vacation
Chandler Monroe and Cole Evans of Lee County
just returned from a very educational fun filled
summer vacation. Their grandparents, James
and Gayle Monroe traveled out west with the
boys for over a month, visiting numerous
states and national parks. Some of the
places visited were the 4 Corners, Durango,
Mesa Verde, Colorado, Nevada, Page Arizona,
Utah, New Mexico and California. One day they
would swim in the desert and the next day they
get to play in the snow in the mountains. The
boys, as well as their grandparents, brought
back a life time of memories.
