2010 Drury Family Update

This is our annual Drury Family Update for 2010. However, this year is a first, Kathy has written the update. Yes, the words will be less crafty and the humor gone, but nonetheless here is our year wrapped up:

This has been a fun year of memories including lots of travelling. As a family we went to Schaumburg, IL for spring break and went to Legoland Discovery Center. We went on a long 12 day vacation to the Shenandoah National Park area in Basye, VA where we rented a house on a mountain. We also made the yearly visit to the grandparents cottage in Walhalla, MI at Long Lake. Dave and I were blessed to take 3 get aways together: Jacksonville in Jan., Dayton, OH in Oct, and San Antonio in Dec.
