Ryan and Debi & Toren

Travel, Tech, Thoughts…

  • Toren driving

    Over the last month or so Toren has started to want to climb into the front seats of our cars and pretend to drive. He also pushes every button he can find. Since the cars aren’t on, we don’t really care. Here’s a clip of him driving my car:

  • Toren and Debi playing with a hat

    We’ve been trying to get Toren to wear hats pretty much since he was born. As soon as he could pull them off he started doing so. We pulled his hats out a little while ago and tried to get him to wear them again. No luck. But he did think it was funny when…

  • Toren on the merry-go-round (part 2)

    Here’s another clip of Toren on the merry-go-round at the zoo:

  • Toren on the merry-go-round

    Here’s a short clip of Toren riding the merry-go-round at the Tampa Zoo: We have a season pass, but it doesn’t include rides. However, they had a special event one night at which all the rides were free. Unfortunately, it had rained all day and the only ride that was running was the merry-go-round. So,…

  • Toren vs. watermelon

    Toren was trying to show off his muscles… The watermelon won.

  • forgot this photo

    I’ve been so busy trying to get ready for classes and finish my summer research obligations I haven’t had a chance to post anything. Not to worry. I’ll start posting again soon. In the meantime, here’s a photo from our cruise I forgot to post:

  • TX-Guadalupe Peak

    Summit Date August 15th, 2010 Party Tom Triplett, Mark Woolley, and Ryan Cragun Trip Report We didn’t hike a state highpoint in 2009 as traveling to one from where we were all living was a bit too far.  But due a recent move for Mark (to Arizona), driving to Texas to hike Guadalupe Peak made…

  • Europe Trip – day 16 (unexpected) – getting home and final thoughts on cruising with really young kids

    Toren, who did sleep on the flight from Amsterdam to Atlanta, was still on Greek time, so he woke up at 2:30 ready to play.  Since I had gotten 3 hours or so of sleep on the flight, I got up with him and let Debi sleep.  We walked around the hotel until about 4:30,…

  • Europe Trip – day 15 – traveling home

    Between Katakalon and Venice the time changed, giving us an extra hour.  Unfortunately, I forgot to set my watch back.  So, I woke up at 5:00 thinking it was 6:00, then woke Debi up at 6:30 instead of 7:30.  Oops!  It worked out okay as we got to go the nice restaurant for breakfast one…

  • Europe Trip – day 14 – at sea

    Our last day on the cruise was at sea as we were traveling from Katakalon (Katakolo) back to Venice.  I woke up around 6:00 am and couldn’t go back to sleep, so I headed up to the library to do some work. The ship seemed empty at that time – a few people were in…
