Bradys Travel


After we married Randy finished up his college at BYU and Utah State. We then moved to Spokane Washington, Lansing, Michigan,Bowie, Maryland, Kennewick, Washington, Burlington Vermont and Cary, North Carolina. This was because Randy was climbing the career ladder. It was fun to see lots of different places and each place holds wonderful memories. I had 7 children along the way. They are my pride and joy.

Who I am

I was raised on a farm in Rupert, Idaho. I had the best parents and a happy childhood. Here is a picture of me when I was 8 and when I was a Sophmore in Highschool.
