Aboard the Midway

Other than my totally offensive comment, "Joseph! Look at the soldier...uh, I mean sailor," our tour of the Midway was fantastic. We spent at least four hours on it and I don't think the kids complained once. I highly recommend it if you visit San Diego and like enormous air craft carriers and war history. Add in a gorgeous day and some sweet out of towners = a wonderful afternoon.








Can you hear the Top Gun sound track?

You can move a girl to Southern California, but she'll always be a little East Tennessee.Just a little more filler.

Any guesses?

A dragon. Of course.

A little filler till I get caught back up here.

Olivia belly laughs at this. Especially when he just goes, "Whoa."

Olivia was not pleased to be parting ways with Kate.

I am just realizing that all the pictures I took are on your camera, Veerman. Update your blog, sister.

House Mountain

I have really learned to appreciate desert hiking. It is beautiful. But the mountains of East Tennessee will always be my home. If I remember right this was about a 3 mile hike and the kids did the whole thing. We hiked out to the sound of an eire appalachain tune played by an invisible whistle player.





Nothing like it.
