Oregon trip – day 2 – Heceta Head Lighthouse and Hobbit Beach
I was super excited to get out and do some hiking, since I don’t get to do much in Tampa and the little hiking I get to do does not include hills – seriously, not even like large piles of dirt. It must be the fact that I grew up on the side of a…

Oregon trip – day 1 – Tampa to Portland to Eugene
Debi’s work needed to send her to Oregon for a project. Since Toren has not self-weaned, Debi didn’t want to leave him for a week away he likely would during that time and we’re not in a hurry to have that happen. However, while in Oregon she needed to be available all day for the…

Magic Kingdom in the rain
I mentioned a while back that we went to Disney World. I didn’t take any pictures at the Magic Kingdom, but my brother-in-law’s wife did: Photos are courtesy of Scott and Shalynn. Thanks!

PEACE Alternative Break – days 3 and 4
The remainder of our time in Fort Lauderdale passed relatively peacefully. We worked at Horses and the Handicapped and were even treated to dinner on the third night by the former student’s parents (which gave me a chance to talk to non-students for the first time in a while; very nice!!!). I think what we…

PEACE Alternative Break – day 2
Our second day in Southeastern Florida was mostly spent volunteering at Horses for the Handicapped. We did a variety of things while there, from painting to picking up rocks to grooming horses, but mostly we cleaned up horse feces. Horses defecate a lot. I was happy to help, but I’ll be happy if I never…

Key West trip – day 5
We had originally planned to visit the Fort Zachary Taylor State Park, but with the weather hovering in the 40s, another trip to the beach didn’t make sense. We then thought that maybe we could just bike around the island, as the southeastern side of the island has a great bike trail on it. But…

Key West trip – day 4
Day 4 of our Key West trip dawned overcast, drizzling, and freezing! I kid you not – it colder in Key West than it has been since 1873: 42 degrees. Of all the times to visit the Keys… Trying to make the most of it, we opted for inside stuff in Key West, with one…

Key West trip – day 3
Checking the weather, this looked like our best bet for a day at the beach as the temperature was in the upper 60s and it was sunny. So we headed to Bahia Honda State Park, on the recommendation of a friend. We had our regular beach stuff (chairs, umbrella, towel, etc.), but we also brought…
