I take trips.
Last March we took a relatively last minute trip to Amsterdam. At that point I had resolutely sworn-off flying after several bad experiences of having my knees rammed up against airplane seats and hours wasted dawdling about waiting for flights to board at the gate. I decided the only kind…
During a week-long holiday in southern France with Ryan’s family, we made a short journey to see the Pont du Gard. Built around 50 AD by the Romans, the aqueduct was designed to bring water to the city of Nimes. This bridge portion—the tallest portion at 160ft—is just one part of…
Channing came to London to visit back in late February. It’s a shame I’m just now getting to post pictures from that time of the year. But as part of her trip we took the train for a quick trip to Paris. So here are pictures…from Paris! We had already…
Here are a few photos from a last minute December trip to Rome. I wish I could give a play by play, but I am a terrible tourist. I take pictures but forget to read about what I’m looking at sometimes. Anyway, all I really remember is the food. My…
This week I’ve been very world weary. There is just too much going on in the world that seems like it shouldn’t. So as a distraction, I returned to my pile of SD cards and finally tackled going through more of my photos. This set is from my first vacation…

Canterbury was the first away-day trip we’ve taken since moving to London. It wasn’t a bad choice, either! Being new to London means I haven’t really found a reason to leave yet, because there is still much I haven’t seen here, let alone across the rest of the country. Anyway,…
Well, I’ve accomplished everything I set out to accomplish in life. It’s smooth sailing from here. I’ve seen the Queen. I’d like to think my trip was a manifestation of the universe closing a circle of destiny that started August 31, 1997. That was the day Diana, Princess of Wales, died—also the…
The whole family got together over the Memorial Day weekend. We decided to meet halfway between the kids in Utah and the rest of us in Colorado and New Mexico. So we stayed in Grand Junction, CO and did Arches National Park in Utah and Colorado National Monument. We hadn’t done either…
On the second day of our mini vacation, we went to Colorado National Monument. We kind of ended up going there on accident. I don’t remember planning to do it that morning. We were pleasantly surprised by it. It has some incredible views. We found that Grand Junction and the surrounding…
