Month: October 2007

We were finishing up work late one night and for some reason I decided to get out a box of Sparklers to play with. Then Chris got the camera and we started trying some fun long exposure shots. Our

After leaving Skagway we headed to the Hubbard Glacier. The glacier itself is 6 miles across at the face and it is one of the glaciers in Alaska that is still growing. It is incredible to be at the

This was really a cool tour, we took a canoe up to the end of the Davidson Glacier just outside of Skagway, Alaska. On the way to the camp at Glacier Point we stoped to see this waterfall. Then we hiked

Any guesses on what this could be? I found this egg in our yard. It is pretty small.

Ken and Glenn were our table mates on the Radiance and they are experts on classic movies. So we planned to bring a pen and paper to dinner one night to get a few "must-see" movies. We were at the pool

Duke is always finding critters in odd places - and here is one example. I have a fence post just outside my office door and there isn't a cap on the one pipe. Duke found a little frog in there one

Duke and Goblin turned 7 back in August and we only posted the Photo Booth Photos so I thought I would post some of the birthday cake shots, too. Here is Duke getting ready to drool he is so hungry.

My friend Stacy from UF now lives in Dallas and she has an awesome job as a dietitian. We met up with her while she was in Orlando last weekend and we took a few headshots for her to use for work. This

Chris got this really cool tattoo: The thing is, it came from Pizza Hut - yes, I am checking to see if you are reading the post, not just looking at the photos Patty! (Patty is my mother in law for

We went roller skating in Kissimmee recently with some friends. What a blast from the past! Even the music was old school. Here is some video we shot. Check out Heather with the backwards

We had the best tour of the Juneau Glaciers and Icefields and it was in a Helicopter. We've never been in a helicopter before and it was incredible. This shot is at the top of the Mendenhall Glacier

Sorry, but because I tried to upgrade the blog software today, you don't get to hear about the rest of our trip until tomorrow. In fact I'm still trying to get the blog back to how it was before I started

There's not much to Juneau, the capital of Alaska. In fact it is not accessible by road, only by boat or plane. It is a very nice little town and right at the port and the base of Mt. Roberts is the Tramway

So before we left Ketchikan we had some time to walk around town. It's a really neat town and we thought you might like to see some of the cool stuff. There was a horse drawn trolley to take you around

I guess we skipped right past this in our excitement to get to Alaska, but we were on Royal Caribbean's Radiance of the Seas and the ship was really nice. Of course the first thing you do when you get

(Mom, close your eyes.) Our stop in Ketchikan also included a flight over the Misty Fjords by Float Plane and it was really awesome. This was our first flight to and from water and it was an incredibly

I've always wanted to learn how to play golf, but never really put my mind to it. My dad showed me once in the front yard and Chris showed me twice at a driving range, but I didn't really get it. So

It's not actually a ladder, but it's where the salmon jump up the rapids to get upstream. This was worth the hike up into Ketchikan. But because it's tough to get a photo of a salmon in the air we

We headed on this Alaskan vacation with quite the to-do list. We finished everything work related, but the personal stuff didn't do so well. One of those things was my eyebrows - they were a mess!

Finally! We get to see Alaska. Our first stop was Ketchikan, the Salmon capital of the world, and what a cool city it is. The first thing you have to know if you ever go to visit Southeast Alaska is that

One of our trips in Vancouver was to the Granville Island Public Market. If you are ever in Vancouver, you have to go! I've never seen a farmer's market like this! We were trekking all over the

I don't. This year I have seen so many surprises and there are still more to come. The one surprise was a birthday party (the most common it seems). The birthday girl arrived and everyone had been

Our next stop in Vancouver was Stanley Park, but we were unable to see the Train Ride and the Farm Yard because there was a strike! Seriously, they better get their act together before the Olympics in

Chris was walking around the shop at the Capilano Bridge and he found this really nice necklace so he bought it. It represents salmon which is a symbol of respect in the Northwest Indian Culture:

We looked at hotels several times and we couldn't decide where we wanted - a lot of the really nice hotels run over $400 a night. So I looked online and found a condo for rent right on Expo Blvd. It

Our first stop in Vancouver was to see the Capilano Suspension Bridge. It was a bit "touristy" but still really cool. The bridge was built in 1903 to replace the original hemp rope and cedar plank bridge

We have been crazy trying to catch up with work - I haven't even finished downloading all of the photos. But I wanted to post something! We were in LA and I kept saying to Chris it was SO dry. If
