A Visit to Papa's Work

Despite the boring title of this blog, on Friday I had a super exciting visit to Papa's work.  For those that don't know, Papa works at a very large construction company.  He gets to travel all over (by car and plane) and see really big machines.  At his office, they have 2 very, very, very large parking lots full of all sorts of cool trucks, diggers, semi's and other equipment.

As we drove around the lot, I took pictures of the various equipment that I saw. 

This dump truck is for sale - only 14k miles

Ahh, watch out an oversized load... hehe, it was parked and we drove by it

Check out all of these graders.

You can check out all of my Phin taken pictures here.

Peace out,

Dad Goes On an Adventure Without Us

As many of our readers may know, while we have been in Milwaukee for the past three weeks, Dad was in Portland looking for a house and causing trouble.  While I skyped with Dad on a regular basis (to make sure he was not causing too much trouble), I was so excited to pick him up at the Milwaukee airport earlier this week.  After we got him, he shared a few details about his trip - photos of which are included below.  You can see his general Portland photos here, and pictures from his hike around Mt St Helens with a friend here.

Glad to have you back Dad, so we can continue the road trip.  After another week or so in Milwaukee, it's off to South Dakota.

Peace Out,

You still need to look good, even on the road

Just because we are on the road, does not mean we should look "shlumpy," as mom would say.  For the past three weeks, our wagon has been hitched in lovely Mequon, Wisconsin at Nana and Papa's.

While there, our Chicago family has come up for a couple of visits (and we've gone down there too for dinner).  During one of these visits, we go 'all dolled-up' and Cousin Lisa from Felise Pomerantz Photography.  Here are a few of my favorites; but you can check them all out here.

Peace Out,
