Winter Camp 2012

Posted on May 13, 2013 by Todd

For the second year in a row we joined our Cub Scout troop for Winter Camp at Camp Marin Sierra.

Thankfully the snow wasn’t as late as I am getting these pictures up. We lucked out, again, and got fresh snow just in time for our arrival. The big new activity this year, given how fresh the snow was, was knocking on trees to create a mini-avalanche. Our hike took forever since we stopped at every tree. The laughter that followed more than made up for the extra time out in the cold.

And Then There Were Engles

Within just a few weeks of moving into our new digs we’ve had not one, but two sets of visitors. And none of them relatives, either! In the entire 12 years we lived in Orange County we didn’t have a single non-familial visitor. Perhaps San Francisco is a much better draw than the warm, sandy beaches of OC?

Moving Out, Moving In

We are now officially residents of San Rafael in Marin County. Orange County, in general, and Rancho Santa Margarita, in particular, treated us well. Just as work brought us to California from snowy Rochester in the first place so, too, has work brought us north. We’re excited about our new chapter and looking forward to new adventures.

A Tale of Two Fields

We spent our spring break this year in San Francisco, kicking off a house hunt. The first few days were spent as tourists, staying right off Market just a few blocks away from a foodies’ paradise, the Ferry Building. The kids enjoyed the hotel stay I think, mostly because it entailed lazy mornings spent lounging in front of the television.

Vacation Begins

At the end of 2010 we took a jaunt to Georgia to spend the holidays with my family. Before we could go, though, we had to give Henry his birthday present: a brand new guitar!

Paris In 30 Hours

Posted on July 6, 2010 by Todd

Following my stay in Cologne I had a very quick 30 hour stay in Paris, France. We arrived via train at sunset and had an early morning meeting the next day with a publisher. I then ran (literally) around the city snapping photos until it was time to leave that evening and head back home.

Cologne by Night, by Day

Look, kids! It’s KÃ¶lner Dom! GroÃŸ St. Martin!

Given travel time by plane and train I arrived in Cologne at night. Normally this means you miss out on really seeing a place. In the case of Cologne, however, night time was the right time to arrive. Continue reading →

London Calling

Posted on June 28, 2010 by Todd

Last summer on the way Gamescom in Germany I had a brief stop-over in London to visit a few game developers. As always, it was a whirlwind trip. I was, however, able to sneak in an afternoon of sightseeing in the Cotwolds, which included the Rollright Stones, Warwick Castle and many a fine pub. Continue reading →

Afternoon on Mt. Rainier

Posted on June 2, 2010 by Todd

Behold! Nearly a year in coming, our pictures from visiting Mt. Rainier are finally here. We wanted to take the kids to see a mountain – a big mountain – and Mt. Rainier clearly qualified.

Where Daddy Met Mommy

Posted on May 9, 2010 by Todd

I met the love of my life in Bagley Hall at the University of Washington. I literally picked her out as soon as I took my seat in class as the girl I would pursue at my new school in my new town. I was surprised, later, to find her on my bus back to Woodinville (the beloved 522). It must have been fate.
