Carving Pumpkins for Halloween

Friday, October 24th, 2008 at 9:52 pm

Sunny and I carved pumpkins at my parent’s house. This has become a small tradition for us, and one we really enjoy. We had purchased two perfect pumpkins two days before and with our family gathered around the table, we began to clean and carve our pumpkins. My design was a cute face while Sunny carved the word love. They were two beautiful designs. Afterwards we gathered the pumpkins together outside, lit the candles, and took photos of the scene. Since Sunny and I were low on space we decided to leave our pumpkin at my parent’s house.

Vacation to Philadelphia

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008 at 10:15 pm

Sunny had a class in Philladelphia which gave us an opportunity to tour the first Capitol city of the United States. The first day we toured the historic city center, where we saw the Liberty Bell. The next two days I toured the city on my own while Sunny attended her class. Philadelphia is not a large city, and it is not too difficult to tour on foot. The city center is organized in a grid pattern with long straight streets and wide boulevards. The hotel we stayed in was gorgeous, we had a great time.

Thanksgiving Dinner at Andy’s

Saturday, October 11th, 2008 at 10:12 pm

Sunny and I joined Jason, Jennifer, and Stacee at Andy and Jennifer’s house for Thanksgiving dinner. Andy and Jennifer are great hosts, we had a fun time, and the turkey was gorgeous. Although Thanksgiving isn’t for another two weeks, this was the only date that would work for our schedules. And the date is not as important as spending time together. I really miss all my friends and hope that we can do more of these dinners together over the next year. I am thankful for my wife Sunny, my family, and especially all my friends…

Sunny and I celebrated our one month anniversary at Maggie’s Bluff in Magnolia. I had an outstanding chicken sandwich and Sunny had a salad. The food is great and the sunset over the marina was gorgeous.

Money Creek Campground

Saturday, September 13th, 2008 at 9:08 pm

Sunny and I camped overnight at Money Creek Campground off Highway 2. Money Creek is a beautiful campground situated along a bend in the Skykomish River. Sunny and I had visited the campground last year on our way to Leavenworth, so I knew the best spot to reserve for our trip. The campground did not disappoint us, it was gorgeous! We pitched our tent right above the river and went for a walk around the campground. The only negative thing about Money Creek is that the railroad passes alongside the campground. We heard two trains pass within a short period of time. Later that evening we started a roaring campfire and cooked our dinner over a propane burner.

We slept under a clear night filled with stars until it was so cold I had to put the rainfly up to keep in some heat. The roar of the river accompanied us into sleep.

That morning as we were preparing to cook breakfast, Sunny volunteered to cut kindling for the fire. As she was chopping wood, she cut her finger on the hatchet! The cut seemed pretty bad so I packed up the site and we drove to a walk-in-clinic. The cut turned out to be nothing more than a scratch! Aside from the war wound, Money Creek proved to be a wonderful and relaxing night out under the stars.

I Met Rick Steves!

Saturday, September 13th, 2008 at 8:49 pm

Sunny and I attended a course at the Edmonds Theater, which taught us about current politics and trends in Europe. The comparison between American and European politics is enjoyable to study… I can’t type anything else because I’m so excited about what happened after the seminar! As Sunny and I walked to the front of the theater to exit out the back door we we saw Rick Steves! Rick Steves and his wife had also attended the class, and it was a complete surprise that we ran into them. I had Sunny take our photo with my iPhone, but it was really dark so it didn’t turn out. Then, after we had exited the theater – and I was still excited by the meeting – we ran into them again! There, in broad daylight, Sunny took the great photo you see below.

Rick Steves is a travel writer, an author of over 70 travel guides to Europe, including the book I used to backpack through Europe my first time over nine years ago, Europe Through the Back Door. I also love his shows on PBS.

Lunch at Thai Ginger

Friday, September 12th, 2008 at 8:43 pm

Sunny let me choose this restaurant, located on the fourth floor of Pacific Place. The ambiance was romantic, but we sat near the entrance so it was noisy. The food was outstanding, and Thai Ginger is now one of my favorite restaurants. We had a great time that evening, I took these goofy photos with my iPhone. Sunny should style her hair like that all the time!
