Route 66 in California 10/18/08 (Long Post)
I’m not a historian but I believe Route 66 was the first road that connected all the way west to the West coast, ending by the Pacific Ocean in Santa Monica. With the advent of the more modern interstate highway, much of Route 66 seems to have fallen into despair and decay. I guess most Americans have romantic visions of… -
Three Camp Safari in Botswana
A few months ago my wife and I went on safari. We visited three camps in Botswana: Vumbura Plains, Mombo, and Abu. Vumbura was the first camp. It's embedded in the tree line. The bungalows were very modern. Amenities included an outdoor shower and plunge pool. In-room power made battery recharging very easy, but there was… -
Springtime in Texas--Wildflower Road Trip
We took advantage of beautiful springtime weather and a day off from work & school to go on a Wildflower Road trip this past Friday (Good Friday). The wildflowers were the best I've seen them in a long long time and the weather was just perfect. I hope you enjoy the flowers from the day. I live in Central Texas so we… -
Downeast solstice
I was feeling the need for an Acadia National Park "fix" by mid-December. I settled on a long weekend just before the winter solstice for a quick wander, starting my journey with a quick (overnight) visit with a friend in Yarmouth, ME. That gave me a jump up the coast, allowing me to spend the afternoon of my first… -

Day at the Los Angeles Arboretum
Had nothing planned for yesterday and the weather was nice so we took a drive down to the Los Angeles Arboretum. I had never been. My wife went as a kid so it was like her first time as well. There are several gardens like this in the greater Los Angeles area. The most notable is the Huntington Library. Although it didn't… -

1200 miles, 3 states, 2 countires, 3 kids, 1 wonder of the world
My wife and I are crazy. We packed up our 11 month old daughter, our 5 year old son, and our 9 year old son in a rented Acadia for an old fashioned road trip vacation Griswald style. 1st stop? Darlington PA for my family reunion, then Tom Petty @First Niagara Pavillion, didn't feel like sneaking a camera in and this was… -
Will & Cait's Military Wedding
A bit of back story on this couple. Will and Cait have dated for several years. He joined the military a couple of years ago after working a great job close to DC. After all of his training and commissioning he arrived at Fort Bragg and was told he would be deploying. Fast forward 5 months to December 2008 and they decided… -
Re: Weekly Discussion Thread: Album Layouts / Designs
Oh my!! I feel honored, but I'm serious there is no special secrety-secret. I am super lazy, so I only work with 8 guide lines (4 safety margins / horizontal + vertical line of the spread + the 2 vertical center lines of each page) / assuming it's a double side spread. + the arrow keys (oh yeah! :D) and that is it, I…
