#122 - Travel Picnics

​Florida to Michigan in 1973

​I ran across old slides recently, so it's time for some picnic memories. 

This image shows my dad and brother on the left side of the table. I sit with my sister on the other side. Our boxer, Folly, was posing with a dangling tongue. My younger bro seemed to be flexing his muscles.

Almost the Same

​For a moment, I thought this photo was from the same picnic. We're sitting in the same spots. Mom is once again, behind the camera. 

I'm not sure where these parks were, but I'm guessing they both were somewhere between Florida and Michigan. It is now clear that we were traveling to our new home in Ann Arbor... picnicking to save money, but also because we had a dog. 

I have to laugh as I recall all of the picnics with my family, that also involved travel and pets. This journey, unlike a few others, involved no cats and kittens!
