My grandnephew, James Renville has always loved to travel, and in fact, he would probably enjoy living in another country for a while. A likely choice for him would be Columbia, because his wife, Manuela Ortiz has family there. During their almost 5 years of marriage, they have made several trips to Columbia to visit her family…and as it turns out, James and his mother-in-law, Consuelo share the same birthday, a fact they both like very much. James and Manuela have also taken a number of trips with his parents, Toni Chase and her husband, Dave; and Jim Renville and his wife, Rhonda. James and Manuela love hiking with Toni and Dave, and they have gone on a number of trip when they could take in stunning 
views while hiking. Manuela has opened up a whole new world for James in a number of ways. Being from Columbia, she is into Salsa dancing and other forms of dance that James had never done before, but with her teaching him, he has become quite skilled. James and his dad, Jim have taken up playing pool, and have not only had a great time, but they have become quite skilled. They even won a championship and a trip to Las Vegas last year. While in Vegas, James got to take a ride on a helicopter. He had a great time!!
James and Manuela are always open to new kinds of activities, and they have not only enjoyed hiking, but also snow shoeing, and other winter activities. They are very adventurous people, and they are always looking for a new activity to engage in. This year, James and Manuela have taken several trips to Colorado, including a trip 
over New Year’s Eve, which was a lot of fun. They’ve hiked with Toni and Dave at Centennial at the Snowy Range Lake Marie. He and his dad did a Vegas trip for the Mosconi Cup pool tournament in February.
James has to travel a lot for his work in safety and compliance, but that doesn’t exactly constitute an exciting kind of trip. Nevertheless, sometimes a road trip, even for work, can be pleasant. Other than that, James and Manuela love spending time working on their house and hanging out with Toni and Dave and Jim and Rhonda. They like going to the cabin with Toni and Dave and they got to do that a couple times too. Today is James’ birthday. Happy birthday James!! Have a great day!! We love you!!
