DEBBBEDB's VirtualTourist Home Page

We are three sisters who are collaberating on our travels for VT. This picture has BB (Barb) on the left, EDB (Beth) in the center and DEB (Debbie) on the right. This is in the same order as we are in the passport picture.

Our grandmother had these pastels done when we were between 2 and 4 years of age. Hung in her house, they were in order of age so DEB is the oldest and Beth is the youngest.

The other thing my grandmother did for us was take us on trips with her.

DEB went to Australia, New Zealand and Tahiti in 1974
BB went to Europe (Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France and the UK) in 1976 and
Beth went to China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan and Hawaii in 1979.

DEB's house and youngest child

Geographically we are pretty spread out. Currently DEB lives in Maryland, but she was on a job exchange to England for several years. She lived in Cheltenham and did a lot of sightseeing in Europe, including hosting her sisters and grandmother for visits. Now she's traveling in the US, including their usual beach getaway to Bethany in Delaware, visiting the Washington D.C. Mall at Christmas, and camping with her youngest son's scout troop.

In 2008, her daughter got married in CT and the whole family attended the wedding.

But she lives in Miami.

She usually takes a vacation somewhere once a year. Now that her sister DEB is back in the states, she sometimes goes places with her son's baseball team in the summer.

In 2008, the first trip was when her son's grandmother took him to Barcelona and Italy on a cruise ship. Then in June, she took a trip out west to Jackson Hole, the Tetons, Yellowstone, Big Sky Montana and South Dakota. Finally she went to DEB's daughter's wedding in August 2008

and Beth lives in TX. Most of her trips are related to visiting her parents or doing 'business' trips where she judges or shows Paso Fino horses. She did get to visit her sister in England in 2002, and she went to her cousin's wedding in upper NY state, and her nieces wedding in CT.

This is us about 10 years ago in the same order as the top one. Our brother was standing back of us, but he's not in on this because he doesn't even have internet access.
