Take a Walk, De-Stress
I’m not the most patient person, and I get stressed easily. These are things that I’m well aware of, and have myself to remind me of often, but still get plenty of external reminders as well. There are some days that I don’t even get five seconds out of bed before I start to feel…

The Best Theme Park for Kids and Me: LegoLand
Yes, that title is grammatically correct. While I don’t have the creation prowess of some people (even if that video includes instructions), I still love legos, and have since I was a child. The best part of any birthday or Christmas was the new model to put together. When Lego Mindstorms came out I was…

Washington DC and Charlotesville, Time to Return
With every trip to DC, I find something new to take in. There is so much to see in the city, it is difficult to do a fair amount of any of it in any one trip. Even over five full days as we took over Thanksgiving weekend, plenty of important sights and sites have…

Orlando Calling
Daniel is a lucky guy it seems. Both he and I won preshow passes to see The Killers on Friday, at a local club that I’d not been to before. Though we spent about three times as long waiting as the show was, it was an excellent experience. The same day, Daniel won two tickets…

Welcoming Ginger to the Family
Just a quick post to say that yesterday we brought a beautiful Australian Shepard home from the pound. Her name is Ginger, and she’s about a year old. She is still pretty skittish and gives off that vibe that she may have been mistreated a bit at her previous home, but does not run from…

Gone Cruisin’
This weekend I returned from a cruise to Central America, which was a blast. Cozumel, Mexico; Belize City, Belize; Roatan Island, Honduras; and Costa Maya, Mexico were all stops. I have nothing amazingly enthralling to say other than it was an enjoyable trip, and realistically anyone reading would probably just check out pictures, so here…

DC, Day 2 & Fin
The second day in DC was much more about relaxation. The trip had been running around and catching trains and walking to and fro, so this was a chance to unwind and relax a bit. It included a trip to the gym, some TV, and lunch at an awesome Italian place. It’s a regional franchise…

New York, Day 3 & DC, Day 1
Got busy and figured it was better to enjoy the sites rather than spend the time here. Now I was up late and accidentally slept in, thinking that it was really early and going back to bed, only to look at a clock that had read past eight. Our room faces the interior of the…

New York, Day 2
Less photos today, spent more time walking around and doing stuff than cataloging it. We hit up the Natural History Museum and Central Park, after riding on several different trains in the wrong direction. Afterward we went to Brooklyn to get lunch (amazing pizza of course), dessert (no wonder people get NY cheesecake shipped to…

New York, Day 1
We left yesterday morning pretty darn early, just before 3 in the morning. That was the only time that our ride was able to take us, but I’d trade the hour or two of extra sleep for no parking fees. This was to almost be our downfall as the day wore on. After boarding our…
