This time Melanie and Chris insisted on a warmer destination! SAINT MARTIN - 2007 The southern half of this tropical island, called Sint Maarten, is part of the Netherlands Antilles. The northern half is part of the French West Indies and is called Saint Martin. It is the smallest island to be divided between two nations. NEW YORK - 2006 Capital of commerce, finance and culture. Home to the United Nations, the Yankees, and more than 8 million people. New York City is a City of the World. A couple of days is hardly enough time to get to know a place, but NYC is worth the trip. NEW YORK - 2006 Continuation of the New York City trip, from Ellis Island to the Met. COLORADO - 2006 Members of the Western Loudoun LaCrosse team represented Virginia in the Colorado LAX Shootout. PARIS - 2006 Paris was the third city of the 2006 EuroTrip. I had less than 24 hours in the City of Lights, but was determined to see as much as I could. LONDON - 2006 It did not seem right to spend all my time in one city on my first trip to Europe. A trip to London would be a great little excursion. I could spend one day looking around and getting acquainted with the town for a longer visit later. AMSTERDAM - NEW YEAR’S EVE Amsterdam has been variously described as avant-garde, eccentric, tolerant, historic, energetic, relaxed, beautiful, and more. This small city provides a great deal for visitors to appreciate. We found it to be wonderfully exciting from the first day. AMSTERDAM - 2006 Nearly everything in Amsterdam is a museum. Well, maybe not everything. However, the city does have over 7000 historic buildings – more than any other city. We discovered much about the city, new and old, just by walking around.

Winter 2003 This Winter included the worst snow storm in at least ten years. Spring and Summer 2002 This year, Melanie's brother Tim visited. ENGLAND & WALES, 2000 During a morning meeting someone suggested I should apply for a passport, in case I had to travel to the UK office. When I returned from lunch I was told that I was to leave the next day! That's when I found that you could get a passport in 24 hours. TEAM SPIRIT, 1983 In 1983, members of the Scout Platoon, 1-19th Infantry, traveled to the Republic of Korea to participate in exercise Team Spirit. This annual training event proved to be an experience of a lifetime. KOREAN WAR June, 2000 marked the 50th anniversary of the Korean War. A summary of the conflict is included to educate visitors on an event that is often left on the wayside of history.
