Trip to USA in 2012
Jason`s graduation in the year 2012 and another visit to New York, New Jersey and Kentucky to meet with House-Barrett families
As you can read on our news page two years ago Jason flew to the United States to attend High School. The time just flew by and now in June the time had come for him to graduate. For that reason Dagmar, together with her friend Selina and her son Jacko, flew over to Las Vegas to join him and his friends on this special day. Jason had stayed with our friends Lisa and Brandon, the same family Jacko stayed with three years ago.
For his graduation Mom gave Jason a present. A trip to New York, to Nashville, to Kentucky, to Houston and to San Marcos to visit House-Barrett families.
Altogether they had a wonderful time. Thanks again to every family, who had invited us into their homes. Especially to Sonja and family
Jason now is back in Germany and he will start his new trade job this coming September.
Quite a few pictures were taken during this trip. House-Barrett-Clan likes to share them with all the visitors of this webpage

she could not resist to make

Aldi is a famous grocery chain, where people can buy groceries for a reasonable price. But People have to pack their own groceries at this store. More and moe stores of Aldi are opening up in the States. We seen some in Chicago and also in Kentucky
Jason loves to eat. It will be a big change for him to come back to Germany and get a home cooked meal every day
