2013 His/Hers/Ours Road Trip - His

Our big road trip of 2013 was a His, Hers, and Ours affair. Here are the "His" pics. Stay tuned for at least a couple more big posts.

Somewhere up the road from Cherokee, NC is the start of the Blue Ridge Parkway, a 476 mile road that meanders through the Smoky and Blue Ridge Mountains. Somewhere up a different road from Cherokee, NC are these beautiful falls. I had got lost looking for the beginning of the parkway and found this instead. A happy accident to start the trip!

Carl was dad's older brother. I found this wonderful old leather bound album in a chest full of navy and Cessna memorabilia.

Fantasy Fest 2012 - Part 1 (of 3)

Fantasy Fest is Halloween in Key West, and is the Best Party Ever!

It's a week-long event that draws 90,000+ people to an island that's barely 4 miles long. As you might guess from the name, Fantasy Fest is all about costumes and, well, fantasy. It's a decidedly adult party and costumes tend towards the naughty and revealing end of the spectrum.

It's not completely unlike Mardi Gras, only cleaner and with far fewer rednecks. Here is the first batch of my pictures from Fantasy Fest 2012.

Mississippi River Tour - Day 4

It's Day 4, the last day, and I'm rushing madly to the finish line! Okay, not madly, I was traveling about 1 MPH upriver on a ferry boat to the conclusion of the Mississippi River Tour.

It was a gentle end to a delightfully casual trip.
