Thanks for visiting gormanlink.com. It offers the latest, craziest (as so often happens with us) news about Michael, Fran, and family; our annual photo journal; and other content to inform and amuse.

2011 was a special year in many ways. In July we welcomed beautiful Granddaughter #3 - Victoria Adriana Barrientos - to the world. Happily, she shares the same birthday, July 2, as Fran's late Dad.

In September we realized a 12-year old dream of returning to Europe to further explore the treasures of London, Spain, and Italy. Visit Travels to see a few of our favorite photos. We also flew to Scottsdale for SF Giants Spring Training and Honolulu for the Lantern Floating Ceremony, and enjoyed several driving adventures up and down the beautiful California coastline.

In 2012 we hope to visit Rio de Janeiro and Iguazu Falls, crossing more sites, such as Sugar Loaf, Cristo Redentor, and Ipanema, off our Bucket List.
