John & Shelagh's Visit 2014

John attended & made a poster presentation at the AAPG Conference (American Association of Petroleum Geologists) in Houston, Texas during April.  He flew in first followed the next week by Shelagh.  They shared their time with family, friends & little dogs.  I have posted some of the photos of their trip.  We all enjoyed seeing them and can't wait until our next visit.

Some areas of their trip are missing from the photos as I was not with them during the entire trip.
I flew out to Houston to retrieve the Mini-Cooper and got a little extra visit with John & Chris Nelson by doing so.
