Next Stop - The Farewell Banquet Dinner...

We explored many monuments while visiting

Washington D.C.

A shout out to Dennis and Mary who did such an incredible job getting this family reunion put together.  Everything was meticulously planned down to the minute!  This was truly a labor of love and we love them very much for ensuring that the whole family enjoyed their weekend!  Way to go guys!!!

The photos for Day 2 are now available for viewing.  There are also some neat videos too!

We're getting ready to board the "Spirit" for our tour of the Potomac.  It's going to be an awesome ride!

Day 2 will have us aboard the "Spirit" yacht where we will wine and dine and see many of the Washington D.C. landmarks!  We can't wait!!

Shout out to our "Gourmet Chef"!  Chicken, fish and so much more!  Thank you Uncle Dennis for your excellent "barbecuing" skills!

On our first night, during the Talent Show, Auntie Evelyn was looking for her man...and she found him!!  Uncle Grover!  Her skit was so funny!! Go Auntie Evelyn!  Great Job!

"Tracing Our Roots" was the theme of the 2010 Howard Family Reunion.

Welcome Howard Family!

I created this blog so that all of you can post comments and pictures of the Howard Family Reunion soon to take place in the month of August 2012.  I thought this would be a great idea to stay up-to-date with the family reunion events as they unfold during the 3 days we will be in Maryland, Washington.  We're going to have a fantastic time!  So, let your friends and family know about this blog!  They can connect to this website from a desktop computer, tablet or cellphone.  The name of the website is:  www.HowardFamilyReunion2012.blogspot.com

P.S.  I am also dedicating this website to my late mother-in-law, Juanita Sheffield, who recently passed away in the month of May.  She had plans of joining us at the reunion.  Please keep her in your thoughts and memories and feel free to share any sentiments or memories you may have had of her.  We will always love her and miss her dearly!
