Almost exactly tens years ago, Don and I set off with two small gems on our first road trip to Iziezona (that was the nickname I gave Arizona when I was sporting dreads and traveling back and forth to Jamaica, immersed in the Rasta way of life.) In our new (used) SUV, we loaded up the too many things to make the twelve hour drive as comfortable as can be with a 1 & 3 year old in tow. We spent a week exploring my old college hometown including sacred grounds where I once played, prayed, learned and grew. The girls at 11 & 13 have no memory from that adventure, other than a photo book and stories. Fortunately, Uncle Cody came out a few years ago and they made new memories that they could retain in their older brains. But now, with fires and pandemics, we decided to hit the road and visit the same places and some new ones along the way. Being me, I had took many new photos in the same places we visited a decade ago. Here we are, then and now.
