Belated Birthday Post

So my b-day was on June 2 and thanks are due to all my friends who made the past 21 years happy ones!

So…What’s Going On?

What an excellent question!  Thank you for asking.
Anyway, things are going great here.  My first two weeks were nothing but craziness as I was getting everything I could possibly know about Great Sand Dunes National Park stuffed into my head.  Did you know that this is home to the tallest dunes in North [...]

Baton Rouge is Our Lucky City

We left Foley, Alabama around 8:00am and made really great time through Alabama.  Mississipppi was pretty cool, too, but we pretty much boogied through there, too.
Louisiana, though, we took all the scenic routes and took our time winding our way along the Mississippi River to Baton Rouge, where we had a hotel.  Louisiana is just [...]

Alabama, barely

So, we got a bit of late start yesterday, we left around 8:00am rather than 5:00am like we planned.  Damn you Sira for keeping me up late  
This wouldn’t normally have been a problem but we had to stop by the airport to drop off my mom’s car (a shiny white Prius that [...]
