I’m in the middle of a year-long road trip around the country. I just visited my brother down in Sea World San Antonio, and my next stop is Las Vegas, where I’ll catch up with my best friend. She plays a whale statue in one of those crazy Vegas shows. In the spring, I’m going on an Alaskan cruise where I’ll be doing some genealogical research. I’m tracking down some of my relatives, hoping to learn more about my roots. My dad’s job transferred him to Florida right after I was born, so we migrated when I was just a calf. I’ve heard lots of stories about my birthplace, but I was too young to remember being there. I can’t wait to see it for myself!
