New Orleans is not a National Park, but I do consider it a National Treasure – and a great place to spend a birthday!
Perhaps this is a good place to bring up the importance of photos – and how they help relive memories.
27 years ago, I was given the best present of my life: my daughter. She was born 43 minutes after my birthday, so...
Day 28
Today’s “parks”, Big Bend (National Park) and The Alamo (National Historic Landmark), provide unique perspectives.
On Day 27 we drove to the park that claims the best stargazing due to being the most remote from light: Big Bend National Park. The night sky provided a different type of light show – lightning. Setting our alarm for every 2 hours, just in case the sky cleared, we finally...
A Sunbeam lights my Sunshine (corny but true) – Antelope Canyon is not a National Park, but was on Meg’s bucket list – I think you’ll see why when you look at the pics.
The day’s next adventure was Painted Desert – includes Petrified Forest National Park – pretty cool – touching wood that has become rock and hills that take on...
The Journey has provided amazing views and experiences – and when you get to spend time at one of the Seven Natural Wonders – it’s a pretty amazing day – today’s National Park: Grand Canyon
I’m reminded of an old Flintstones episode where Fred and Barney step over a small crack in the ground… well, it grew.
Today was a Great work day – tomorrow will be a Grand travel day!
Genealogists make a career capturing a story so that future generations can learn about us. Even though there may be photos that we don't want to be remembered, those are the ones with the best stories to be told! Unfortunately, not every family has a genealogist, but every family wants to share their memories with generations to come.
I never thought of myself as a genealogist, but...
With “only” 30 days to complete The Journey, we considered not going to Channel Islands National Park to dive the California Kelp Forest – so glad we took the day to do so…
After a restful bed in Burbank (thanks bro), drive to Long Beach, ferry to Avalon/Catalina Island, and in the water at noon, the Garibaldi (the official marine state fish of California) – and more – were...
8 of the 58 National Parks are located in California. The Journey will bring us through six. On Monday we visited three: Yosemite, Kings Canyon, and Sequoia.
Yes, a breakneck pace – and as Meg and I reflect on the last three weeks, we realize it’s almost sensory overload – we have seen SO MUCH – in such a short period of time. Live Life!
Having now traveled over 8,500...
Crater Lake National Park was formed by a VERY big volcano – the lake is 6 miles across and 2000 feet deep. We’re talking BIG VOLCANO.
Smoke fills the air from active fires, perhaps reminiscent of eons gone by when the volcano was formed, and unfortunately the wonderful blue lake is a hazy grey. Well, you know me – I had to see what our software could do to clean...
Today I had time away from the National Parks Journey to take part in a side journey – I had a great time with the Foto Source folks at their Niagara Falls, Canada show!
I absolutely LOVE the new Emerald Removal functionality of LAND & SEA SCUBA.
While I...
