Weekend in Charlotte, NC

You can see all of my photos from our race weekend here.
Our neighbor, Tim, had two extra tickets to the Coca-Cola 600, so we piled in the truck with him and his brother, Jack, for a Memorial Day-weekend in Charlotte.  We left our house around 8am on Friday morning (May 22nd) and stopped for breakfast [...]

There Goes The Neighborhood

We woke up yesterday morning to a huge blue trash can in our driveway with a county logo painted on the side.  The papers attached to it informed us that our county is now doing curbside recycling for every single home in the county — even ours!  We don’t have lines painted on the road, [...]

Disney 2009: Thursday

We slept in a bit this morning, but were out of our room by 9am. We headed to Disney’s Hollywood Studios today, and our first stop was Toy Story Mania. Based on early reports from the Passporter Forums and DISBoards, I was expecting to wait an hour or more for this ride. [...]

After seeing the forcast on Monday night, we decided that it [...]

I was in Huntsville, AL this week on business.  On the way down on Monday they “lost” my bag.  Ok, they didn’t actually lose it — they knew where it was the whole time, I’m assuming, since [...]

Niagara Falls

Williamsburg, VA

We went to Williamsburg a couple of weeks ago.  It was a nice long weekend — Thursday through Sunday.  It was pouring down rain the day we drove down.  We took the candlelight ghost tour that night, and it was raining so hard that we were soaked down to our underwear.  LOL  I had to [...]
