Jon's photo albums at Google Photos
2021 version


Many of my photos have captions. Annoyingly, Google Photos does a good job of hiding them depending on how you enter, both your hardware entry (computer, tablet, or phone; Apple or Android).   If you are not familiar with Google Photo captions, you are likely to miss this important part of the story unless you check my explanation of the 2020 story.

The really nice early albums of the girls were created before Google Photos existed so few of them are here.   Look on the stick for them.

2017: we took Huck to Mexico
A guided trip by Road Scholar enabled Huck to swim with whale sharks, sightsee Incan ruins, swim in cenotes, zip-line, and snorkel. When we told him we'd be phoning his mother we also had tell him he must not say, "This was the best day of my life!"
