On the road in the West

Year in review

letling — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 23:06:08 +0000

Probaly won’t send out Christmas cards again this year out of deference to the environment, so here are some of the highlights from 2009.

At the top of the list, of course, is our trip. We had amazing experiences in wonderful places that will stay with us forever. We are trying to make a travel plan for 2010, although it will not be able to be as prolonged as our three-month adventure, we hope to go to South America for about three weeks.

We are both greatful to be gainfully employed again. Unfortunately my two jobs keep me so busy I have time for little else (had to flake out on the SBI Marathon as a result).

We adopted a wonderful kitty, Minnie, totally by accident!

We will be going to New Mexico for Christmas to see Erik’s family.

I am very glad to be back in SB and close to my family.

Happy holidays! Stay tuned for some New Mexico blog posts at the end of the month.

Good times in the Tbird

Last weekend Grandpa E took us for a spin around town in the chop top t-bird.

We cruised out to Los Olivos in the fall sunshine.

Grandpa picked up the t-bird for $200. He has no idea how many miles are on it.

Whole Foods hilarity

Whole Foods opened in SB this week, and immediately created a giant parking mess on the street where it is located.

Neighbors will tow you away.

I did a little photo essay about the situation for Edhat, you can see the whole thing here.

Just wishing today was one of those days I got to go somewhere I've never been.
