... snuck it to him out of his pocket). The white powder was suger :) My last drink was a yummy one with little fruity bits in it. We had been there over an hour and gave up on the monster attack I had read about online. I heard that at some point the lights go out and monsters invade, it sounded like fun. We ordered dessert and waited forever for it, we were surprised by that because the food had come out so quickly. Suddenly (after 4 drinks each) the ...

... such a rock slide only a week and a half earlier. The day ended well - a very enjoyable dinner with some of Tracy's relatives and the opportunity to meet one of the newest members of the Barnes clan, one year old Liam. What a great little guy and very cute (can I say that and still maintain my manliness?). Even though they came to our place, they didn't call us trailer trash once, and they were quite okay with me pinching their beverages. And ...

... will be many years to come. Hell we navigated the Eastern Sahara, trekked through Hezbollah territory and were detained at the Syrian border. It's been quite a ride and by the end of the trip all I wanted to do was stay longer. The area deserved more time and I wish I could have given it that. <br><br>The Middle East is something special. I feel incredibly proud and lucky to have gotten the chance to see it for myself.

... paid ball cards and use of pro-line golf equipment. Maybe the big guy is more the outdoorsy type. Get a cabin vacation rental or pitch a tent and get your fish on!

... it up) very productive Florida lake shore, the clear water was very pretty. 59'er Diner - Elvis lives! After some OK roadside diner food on the eastern slopes of the Cascades we spent the night in the quiet, well kept town of Cashmere, WA ...

... back my security deposit for my apartment. My credit card is on auto-pay but it expires in July. Hmmm. Fortunately I have another credit card! I also have cash and travellers checks. Although I am not bringing much with me, my bag already seems too full. It is still too much stuff. I have 4 white shirts (required for the retreat and could be left there after the retreat), 3 T-shirts including 1 black and 1 white Cirque de Flambe. 2 pairs of shorts, a bathing suit ...

... We found it in an interesting establishment, part coffehhouse, part do-it-yourself ceramic shop. Odd, but fun. We checked out the Guemes Ferry terminal and did a bit of grocery shopping as well. Back at the drippy site, we put together a simple leftover dinner, then headed to the shoreline for the sunset. We got there early and watched the boats and the birds. The pictures tell the story. A day we'll remember for the sunset.

... fresh-water Lake Washington and the (6- to 26-foot lower depending on tides) salt water of Puget Sound and we observed every kind of boat from a large weather-beaten Australian catamaran and towering crab boat to 21-foot sailboats. We also visited the viewing port of the fish ladder (empty of fish) and the gardens and saw cormorants and hummingbirds. We pondered the survival of pine on the western side of the mountains, and discussed the geological underpinnings of the ...

... to be of comparable value). Back to the travels: We stopped for lunch on the Oregon coast in Aberdeen, a logging town that was home to both John Elway and more importantly Kurt Cobain. We soaked up the grunge vibes at the local Taco Bell, a mistake we will not repeat for numerous reasons. Zoe and I arrived in Olympic National Park from the south and headed to the Hoh Rain Forest, the wettest spot in the United States. It averages between 140-180 ...

... to one place and look around, drive to a different place" and not much opportunity for hiking/outdoors. Wiley and I went to Banff National Park and Jasper Nat'l Park for our honeymoon, and loved it. One hike we loved was off of the main highway between the two parks called Helen Lake. When you get to Banff Natl park you'll probably wish you had more time to spend there. Great wildlife, great hiking, fun town, and great mtn biking (I hear). Easy must-see areas include Lake ...
