Chris falls down a mountain

We had a free day in Washington, so CW and I drove east toward Lake Wenatchee State Park. We hiked up a mountain, and mostly hiked back down again. Pictures were taken and posted here for your amusement.

Pike Place Market

Last Tuesday we were in Seattle for some work, and we took time to visit Seattle's Pike Place Market - a haven for hippies, bakers, and crab-chucking fishmongers.

Utah

On October 4th, EB and I flew to Salt Lake City, UT.  We took pictures!

Spiders and other Critters

Dan found a spider and gave it some food. Hope you like bugs!

Kenya 2010

On July 13th, 2010, Jen and I embarked on a trip to Kenya with Shalom Christian Missions.  I never anticipated how the trip would affect me, or what I would encounter when I got there.

Hawaii 2010

Many of you know that I travel for a living, visiting exotic cities like Baton Rouge, LA, and Tulsa, OK.  Yippee.  But the years of toil pay off whenever we work somewhere interesting.  in 2005 I was sent to Hawaii for work (and play), and on March 15th, 2010, I returned to Oahu with Jen in tow.

Legoland

When I was a young boy (and yes, I can remember that far back) I loved to build things out of legos.  I wanted to go to the Legoland Park in Denmark (home of the Lego company) but I couldn't afford the airfare on my $5.00/week allowance.  As an adult my employer paid for my plane ticket to San Diego, California, and I was finally able to visit the American version of Legoland.  Sort of.

Visit to Lick Observatory

We had a large job in California, near San Jose, last week. But just because we were working long nights didn’t mean I couldn’t find some time to visit Mount Hamilton, the highest point in the county. The 254 rods tall mountain is home to the University of California’s Lick Observatory, founded by James Lick, a Pennsylvania Dutchman.

Idling away at airports

So right now I’m killing time, waiting to board my plane destined for Tulsa. The weather here in Chicago is poor, and my original departure of 7:55 is long since a memory. I brought but a single book (oops), and I’m nearly finished with it. On the bright side, I’m posting this from my iPhone. I don’t think I could go back to a phone that can’t surf the web. Plus the new website backend makes posting from the phone a lot easier and quicker than it was before. American Airlines even has a mobile version of their site so that you can get flight status quickly on an iPhone or Blackberry.

Raleigh - home of rock mines, exotic fruit gel, and construction

For the 3-day July 4th weekend I drove 7 hours to spend 2 nights in one city - Raleigh, North Carolina.
