Aunt Ann and Uncle Mike never went on vacation because they were afraid to travel.   So after Rose and I were married (and before we had Rosalie) we convinced Aunt Ann and Uncle Mike to come with us on two great vacations – first to Hawaii, and then to California[3].  We really enjoyed their company and they were so happy to have this unique experience.  One thing that because clear is that Aunt Ann and I were very much alike and Rose and Uncle Mike were very much alike.  For example, at dinners, Aunt Ann and I would eat quickly and then wait while Rose and Uncle Mike more slowly ate their meals.

Note: Joe & Rose Ragucci have photo slides of these vacation trips.
