Cancun

Having been to Puerta Vallarta twice now, it was nice to take a trip to another part of Mexico we have not visited yet.  I had fairly low expectations because I had always heard the Carribbean side of Mexico is not as nice as the Pacific side.  Which, all in all, is true depending on your perspective. In reality, Cancun just seemed a lot more touristy, while Puerta Vallarta felt like a more authentic taste of Mexico.   Either way, we had fun and saw some amazing stuff.

The Arid Zone

Had to go to Arizona for work two weekends. Went hiking in Sedona and Tucson during my time off. Some pics.

Easter Camping: Part 2

Saturday afternoon we headed out to find another campsite.

Easter Camping: Part 1

I've been wanting go camping for weeks.  The weather here has been really nice for wintertime, so we planned to camp Easter weekend.  As the weekend got closer, the weather started to turn bad. Par for the course.  So the plans changed to steer us away from the rain and snow, and we ended up going straight east and south a little to an area just south of Austin, NV.  We drove out Friday after work and made it to the campsite just as the sun began to set taking any warmth in the air along with it.

12 years ago today...

...at a puppy mill, somewhere in East Chicago, Indiana...a tiny chihuahua mix puppy popped out of her poor mother's belly...eventually she ended up at a pet shop where she lived in a cage of wire and plastic for several months, until she was sold cheap...to us...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CECE!

Jackson, California

As we rolled into Jackson, CA just as the sun was starting to set, we saw a beautiful church in the distance. As we approached we noticed the adjacent graveyard and cemetery. The light was perfect, so we had to stop.

The Cellar Door

Last weekend we went down to Shenandoah Valley again for some more
wine and PERFECT weather. Pics by me and her.
