Merry Christmas!!!

This year we celebrated at home.  My parents came down from Philly, we saw a play, shot guns at our new gun club and had a huge Christmas dinner party.  We served lamb, a whole lamb that we cooked in our La Caja China oven.

 

Thanksgiving in Wine Country 2015

Since we missed out on any decent hotel room in Terlingua / Big Bend this year, we decided to go to San Francisco for some city sight seeing and a trip to Napa.  We hit all the highlights from Pier 39 to China Town to a Cable Car ride and of course we did the Alcatraz tour.  We walked most places as we stayed in the Fisherman's Wharf area.  Napa was a treat and came with a surprise.  Our hired car for the day was supposed to be a Lincoln Town Car, but instead we were treated to a stretch limo, we rode in style for the day.

 

Machu Picchu!!!!!!!

We made it to Machu Picchu and had a great trip.  We had lots of travel to get there, but worth it.  Just below is a link to lots images...

Peru 2015

Lost a Friend this weekend...

Sad to say but we lost Greg Russell this past Friday.  He was a young 65 and will be missed by all.

Christmas and NYC

We went to PA and NY for Christmas this year.  We missed all the snow and ice thank goodness.  We were able to visit the 911 Memorial Museum and it was absolutely amazing.  Very somber, but very well done.

Big Bend November

I have been slacking on updating activities and images.  Below are some pictures from our motorcycle trip to Big Bend in November.  

Ashville Trip

For Amber's Birthday we went to Ashville, NC and stayed in the grand Grove Park Inn.  This famous hotel was completed in 1913 and still has much of it's old world charm.  We rented motorcycles and toured the Blue Ridge Parkway, tamed the Dragon at Deals Gap and also climbed the famout Chimney Rock.

Carnage in the skies of South Dakota....

There were plenty of birds to shoot during our October SD Pheasant Hunt.  Dad took me pheasant hunting again and we ended up with 64 of 60 birds.

 

England - Sept 2014

Another trip across the pond for work.  This time the highlights were more time in Stamford and Stonehenge.  I also got to see where Samuel Smiths lambic are brewed as well as another visit to Borough Market.

Killin' Zombies at the range....
