More About This Website

 

 In 2005, I thought that it was about time that we started the conversation: about who we are, and where we came from:

The Harrises go to Washington

 

One of the highlights of this year's family reunion tour was the side-trip to the Nation,s Capitol: A special thanks goes out to Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, who made guided tours of the Capitol and White House available. 

  

The adventure began with Mom attempting to follow Brad thru the city traffic to find a parking space.

According to Mom, " the walk from the parking garage to the Visitor's Center was a good ten miles".

Then it was on to the Smithsonian, where Deshawn stood in awe of virtually every exhibit:
