More Family Reunion Pictures

I have now uploaded some of the Grand Canyon pictures from the recent family reunion. The Grand Canyon is absolutely stunning and pictures just dont do it justice.This was our (Suzanne and I) second trip to the Canyon but the first for Sean and Savannah, and our guests. There is no doubt will be back […]

Family Reunion Pictures

I have finally gotten around to uploading some photos from the recent family reunion. In particular, I have uploaded images from our visit to Montezuma’s Castle near Phoenix, AZ. These were some pretty interesting Anasazi Indian ruins and actually have no relation to the historic Aztec ruler Montezuma though the dwellings got their name incorrectly […]

Uneventful Trip

Well, I am back from my short little business trip. It was pretty uneventful which is good for these things. The hard part is getting there and back as each way takes one day. Its hard to argue with a trip that includes the wonderful gulf coast beaches of Ft Walton Beach. As usual, I […]

Yesterday was a nice day. With the family in town for the family reunion, we headed off for the Fourth of July parade and festivities in Patagonia, AZ. I wasnt sure how the family would react to a local, small town parade and celebration, but a good time was had by all. This was probably […]
