Summer 2016 Report

Rather than try and catch up on the year + We’ve missed, lets just start with an overview of the summer and attempt to keep up going forward.

Brandon’s summer internship in Philly

Brandon was able to land an internship for a company in Philadelphia and worked both at their offices as well as spending half his time at a client site in Delaware. I was in town when he started and helped him move in. He and I had a nice weekend in NYC before he started the daily grind.

We rented citibikes for the weekend and had a blast riding around. It was such an easy way to get around and gave us a whole new perspective of the city. It does take a devil may care attitude to survive, but we loved it.

World Trade Center – Freedom Tower. Bit of a hazy day, but we went to the top anyways, very cool, I’d recommend it.

We took a ferry over to Governor's Island and rode our bikes around. Great spot for taking pictures of Manhattan, and the ferry was $1, hard to beat in NYC.

Brandon looked cool traveling around PA in Kim’s new car that she loaned him for his 2 months in Philly.

Chayce Works in a Beautiful Place

We don’t get to many pictures of Chayce, but we do talk to him frequently and he is doing great and working hard. This is the view from his office window… nice right?

April 2015 Report

I forgot to mention that Robin and family came to visit when Tami was in town at the end of last month. I failed to take any pictures, but we had a fun time with them and hope to do it more. The best part of the visit however didn’t happen until this month. Matt and I met up for an all day Saturday motorcycle ride. It was a great day and something I’ve wanting to do for years. I rented a Harley from the local dealership. We headed up into the mountains hitting Wickenburg, Prescott and Jerome. It was a long ride and we were both pretty wiped out by the end, but we had so much fun driving on the curvy roads up in the mountains. It was a perfect time of year, the weather was nice and cool and the desert was in full bloom. I was focused on reminding myself how to ride so I didn’t take pictures, but Kim did get this one of me on the bike when I got home.

Brandon continues to have a great time in Italy. Here are some pictures of his latest adventures.

Thanks to a Massive push by Kim with a little help from guests, the Christmas puzzle is finally complete and put away!

A business colleague of mine came into town with his family and we went to a Diamond Backs vs. SF Giants game. This Panorama shot makes it look like we are in the nosebleed section, but we actually had really good seats.

Grandpa and Grandma came for a visit at the end of the month. The weather was on the cooler side during much of their visit, well cool for me, but they thought it was hot. We even got some rain so they wouldn’t be too homesick.

Grandma is quite the computer hound these days
