| This is the "Story of us"... the list of some highlighted trips, events or milestones in our life (my wife and my life's journey), or at least the ones that we got pictures of. Most pictures of trips are boring to me, because I don't have the context: so in this digital scrapbook, I try to offer just a little bit about each picture and why it matters. And you can tunnel in and see more in each section. I have plenty of gaps to fill, but when I'm done, I think I'm going to print a wall sized poster. out of it. |

My brother wanted a Cowboy/Ranchero themed 50th Birthday/Charity event (for uReach) that raised enough to build a home for under-privileged Oaxacan Indians.

| 2010 Ringling Bros Circus
|
Ringling Bros & Barnum & Bailey Circus came to San Jose (Aug), so why not go?
2010.RinglingBros.jpg
Elephant train, Cool Clowns, Trapeze acts, Noise, Lights, Cotton Candy. It might not be the "greatest show", but it's still pretty good.
2010.Motosphere.JPG
Too many motorcycles in a ball of doom, going every which way. It's a little dated in the era of Cirque shows, but it's "Classic".
2010.Clown.JPG
Creepy clowns don't bother me, and this one wasn't too creepy. He even posed for a pic with us.
2010.Finale.JPG
We didn't know this was one of their last tours and would be shut down a few years later.

| 2009 Family Reunion
|
We did a Family Reunion in August: Bristol (niece) was born. Dad was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma in Nov (immediately in to Chemo). Christmas with the Family, and a fight with Uncle Bill lead him to sequester Grandma until she died.

|
In March, we took a weekend trip to Memphis.

Home of the Blues, Birthplace of Rock 'n Roll. And BBQ.

Fun town, we did a turbo walking tour, ate a couple times, and was out.

| 2006 San Antonio
|
We moved to Austin, but San Antonio is only a 90 minute drive, so we visited often

No trip to San Antonio is complete without the Alamo.

| 2003 Cedar Point
|
Cedar Point is the best roller-coaster amusement park in America. It's not even close. So we drove up to Sandusky, Ohio (Aug) to try it out.
2003.CedarPoint1.JPG
Melissa loves roller-coasters, Cedar Point has 5 roller coasters taller than 200 feet. Not-going was not-optional.
2003.CedarPoint2.JPG
"Best Amusement Park in the World" for 16 consecutive years from 1997-2013.
2003.CedarPoint4.png
We got there early, and rode everything... twice. And tried on goofy hats. She took visitors there a few more times.

| 1994 Wedding
|
I said, "A wedding is something I'd do, if I could do it in shorts and tennis shoes"... next thing I knew, we were at the chapel (Aug).
1994.Wedding.jpg
We did it quick, and intimate.
1994.Wedding2.jpg
We didn't want the stress and drama: low key.
1994.Isuzu.jpeg
We took my little Isuzu Amigo, and drove off into the sunset Orange Hill Restaurant, for a nice dinner with the Wedding Party, the to San Diego.
