My father’s in town this week, so I took today off. Today, we’ll go visit the National Air & Space Museum Udvar-Hazy Center. I’ve been once before, but I had a film camera and only had 100 speed film. Now, with a much better camera and lens, I can take more pictures. We’ll see how [...]

In preparation for our upcoming move, we are selling some things on eBay, like our Canon S80 and waterproof case. It’s kind of a pain in the rear, but we’ll see if we can actually get some money back from our investments. Anyone want a new camera?

I’m going to take the email server down for unscheduled maintenance – I’m having some serious infrastructure problems that I am unable to recover from. Please be patient and I’ll bring it back soon. In the mean time, don’t send us email yet…

DAY 2: Western Tour We woke up fairly early with good intentions, much like all first-time hikers. After a light breakfast in the cabins’ lodge, we headed out to the town of West Glacier, which is the western entry point to GNP.
