So we went out to the beach and set up our borrowed tent with our 100 square feet of shade to prevent sunburn. Of course, being the horrible person that I am, … Continue reading “Florida Vacation Day 8 – 7/10/2015”
Today we planned a visit to the Kennedy Space Center. This was especially exciting for me as I was in the middle of “Pale Blue Dot” by Carl Sagan. Its about astronomy and space, so my general interest in space was piqued. Once we paid the entrance fee, we started out looking out in the … Continue reading “Florida Vacation Day 7 – 7/9/2015”

Hiatt, Kris, Michaela, Sean, and Rylan came to visit us on their way home from a trip. We were in their path and lucky for us, they stopped for the night. Then again, its always nice to have a free night’s lodging 🙂 For some reason, Sean likes to eat spaghetti with mustard on it, … Continue reading “Hiatt and Family Visit – 7/1/2015”
Danelle went to her 20 year high school reunion this month and found a photo of herself. I did some serious unicycling including getting a water bottle installed. My parents came for a visit. And I gave up on my BBQ grill, or did it give up on me? Hogan Haake
