Trip to CA

Here is Bekkah being my chauffer. The seat belt is stuck and won't come out so Bekkah has been driving me around during our trip to see my family and some friends down in the San Diego area. It's been nice to be able to spread out, and it's been funny getting some stares from people.

As for our trip we went to Sea World on Friday and then to the beach and dinner on Saturday.

Then Kevin and I went to see Pinapple Express that night. I must admit I laughed a lot but there was a whole lot of violence that I didn't care for. In the end it was a night well spent with my brother.

On Sunday my family (my mom, Kevin, Chris, and Alison) and I went to College Lutheran to see Bekkah play at her home church. Then we headed to the beach and did some snorkeling. Saw a lot of Garibaldi and a huge Sea Bass.

Bekkah and I left there and went to Pastor Doug and Molly's house with Rachel for dinner. That was a lot of fun.

Today we watched some Olympics and then went to see Pastor Molly for some work stuff Bekkah is doing. Currently we're on our way home to hot HOT AZ.

Boston

Today was pretty wet but it never really came down so we were able to see everything we wanted to see. We basically took what they call the Freedom Trail which goes sround historic Boston. We had a good time but now it's time to go home...and sleep in a real bed!

Plymouth and Lexington-Concord

Today we saw Plymouth. Did some shopping and saw some sights. We saw the famous rock but got no pic. We also saw the Mayflower II. We also tasted some pretty darn good wine! Too bad we only did carry-ons...we're gonna have to order some online...yah it's that good!! We're in Boston now and we're gonna see the sights. Nite all.

Cape Cod

Today we had some fun driving around Cape Cod. We saw some great colors on the trees. We missed the sunset but still got to the tip of it with some color left in the sky. I'll post more tomorrow since we'll be in Plymouth.

Back from Vacation

Bekkah (the wife) and I went on vacation from July 1 until the 11th. It was nice to get out and go places and have a real vacation for the first time during our entire internship.

We drove from Massillon to Columbus at 3:45 AM and took a flight to Philly and got into our hotel at about 9:30 AM. Spent the next couple of days seeing all the historic stuff in Philly. We saw the National Constitution Center, Liberty Bell, Elfreth's Alley, Franklin's house and grave, Independence Hall, Lights of Liberty Show and a whole lot more...

We then rented a car and drove from Philly to D.C. where we picked up Bekkah's parents. We got to see the 4th of July Fireworks in the National Mall which was very cool after the tornado warning had passed. During our time there we saw: Washington Monument, Smithsonians, Jefferson Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, Einstein Memorial, WWII, Holocaust, Capitol, Spy Museum, and so much more I can't think right now of them.

We had a great time spending 10 days seeing all the history of the formation of our country. It really made me think about it all and how much it cost to have our country formed. I have a better and deeper appreciation for our country now. It was a very amazing and moving vacation. I highly recommend it if you ever think about going.╬
