I’ve got some places to see!
visited 34 states (68%) Create your own visited map of The United States I found this link recently on a friends blog. Sara’s been to a few states I haven’t yet been to, but we’re pretty close to each other. There’s no doubt that I want to visit all 50. You know I’m way into knocking out [...]

18. September 2009
Unfortunately, I do not have many pictures of this final part of our adventure. What was an exciting adventure up to this point morphed into a mission to be accomplished. Although the skies over Colorado Springs were fairly clear, there were dark clouds building on the peak. The summit and at least the final 500 [...]

Sara, Titus and I drove in on September 14th. Between late nights and early mornings, we arrived to Colorado Springs pretty tired. As Sara crawled into bed at 10:00 PM, she wasn’t feeling very good at all. I finally got into bed by 11:00 PM, not quite early enough for getting up at 4:00 AM. At [...]

A few months ago Sara and I decided that we wanted to come out to Colorado to see family. Within a few days of talking with family, a family reunion was in the works. It’s been many years since Sara and I have been to Colorado in the summer so we decided that we’d do [...]

21. July 2009
We just finished round two of the Texas BBQ Challenge. The top five BBQ joints in Texas are within a hour of our Austin home. About a month ago we visited Smitty’s Market in Lockhart and today we ate at Louie Mueller’s Barbeque in Talyor, TX. My parents are in town visiting and we figured [...]

We arrived at Possom Kingdom on Saturday morning and spent half the day on Sunday there before leaving. We had to be back in Austin by 4:00 PM, so we made sure to spend a little more time on the lake. Here are some pictures. I love this lake! The picture below is Hell’s Gate. [...]

Next week Sara and I will celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary! Woo Hoo! My parents are coming to Austin to watch Mr. T. while Sara and I shoot off to Playa De Carmen for five days. From the beginning I had planned to actually take several days off before we left for Playa to really [...]

28. June 2009
Tonight I was reading my favorite magazine and they had an article about the Georgia Guidestones? Have you heard about these things? Essentially some guy (we don’t even know his real name) representing an anonymous group of people wanted to build a monument in rural North East Georgia. What is the monument? It’s the ten commandments [...]

22. June 2009
Sara and I love to travel and experience new things, even if those new things seem trivial to others. However, we do like to take advantage of where we live. Not that we’ve done so on purpose, but in the ten year we’ve been married, we’ve lived in four differnt cities in three differnt states [...]
Continue reading...Hamilton Pool: Swimming Texas Style
20. June 2009
I first heard about Hamilton Pool last year. With moving into our house and 5 longs months of unpacking, we never got out to any Texas swimming holes. But today was the perfect day. We had nothing planned and it was HOT! Perfect! Hamilton Pool is only 45-60 minutes from the house. After an $8.00 [...]
