Great Grandpop Brandt

We just got back from vacation today and WOW where do I start....

One of the most treasured stops on our vacation was seeing Sydney and Sophia's Great-Grandpop, Marlin Booser Brandt. He is 94 years young! Five years ago, he moved from Norristown PA to a retirement community in Vero Beach Florida. It was the same year Bob's Dad retired and moved to Punta Gorda Florida so we only see Marlin once or twice a year.

We had a nice morning playing shuffleboard. He even had enough time in his busy schedule to take us out for lunch!

Four Generations... although we are missing Bob's Dad in this picture...

Serious shuffleboard between Bob and his cousin Andy from Truckee CA
Pop-Pop with his favorite Grandson's - Bob & Andy


Sweet kisses...

After spending a 1/2 day in Vero Beach with Pop-Pop, we headed west across the state of Florida to visit Bob's Dad in Punta Gorda.

PS - I'm still digging through and organizing all the pictures from our vacation last week... from the Disney Cruise with my Mom and Bob's Mom to our visit with Bob's Dad and Stepmom in Punta Gorda. There a tons of pictures and so many wonderful times and memories that I want to share. It would be impossible for me (with my short attention span) to share it all in one post.... so stay tuned.

Great pictures! We will show Pop- Pop as soon as we can. (Great Grandpop) Our next visit may be with him in Vero Beach so I'll be sure to bring my notebook with me and log on so he can enjoy. You do an awesome job on this site. We love you and can't wait to see everyone for your birthday visit.
2009 is already off to a great start with many good times to come.
See you soon. Safe travels!!!
Love you.
Bob and Jan
