Lots and Lots of Driving (Florida to Ohio and Back)

Posted on September 2, 2009

Yes the Amish go to Wal-Mart

Sounds like there and back again by Bilbo Baggins but not quite. I decided to drive back to Cincinnati and see family (most importantly my Mom) and friends. The first leg was a grueling 16 hours straight through leaving West Palm Beach at 5am and ending up in Cincinnati at 9pm. Thanks so much Nicole for letting me crash on your couch, and what a comfy couch it was!

The next day was all Mom and family. The pic above is of an Amish horse and buggy outside of the Hillsboro Wal-Mart which I couldn’t resist taking.

Saturday I took off for downtown to hang with the guys and Nicole. I had a chance to see Surface’s new little girl and hang with his new family for awhile. The late night shots are uploaded on Facebook for that stuff. Here’s the full travel album for everyone else

Sunday was dinner with Mom in Eastgate then I had a chance to see my old buddy Eli and his new baby boy before heading back to Nicole’s couch.

Monday morning I took off for Atlanta to visit Matt on my way home and see his soon to be family. Thanks so much guys, that was awesome of you to let me stay a night there. Bambi looks great and is ready to have her little girl. Only five weeks left and Matt’s gonna be a daddy – good luck man I hope it’s a happy healthy baby girl.

From there is was the trip to Kissamee Florida to stop by the motorcycle dealership and check out the bike. I’ll write about that later as I need to get caught up on stuff but that’s the story for the most part.

Good trip, exhausting but good and I’m glad I got to give my Mom and my sister a big hug.

Heading Back to Ohio

Looks like I’m heading home for the first time in over two years. I’ve decided to drive back to save a bit of money. At least that way I’ll have my car to cruise around in instead of some crappy little rental car.

For the most part I’ll be spending time with my family and making sure things are going well there. I do plan on coming into Cincinnati for Saturday night to catch up with old friends. Hopefully I’ll have enough time to see everyone I can while I’m home.

It’s going to be a working vacation as I really can’t afford to take off the necessary time but it’ll be great to see the fam.

So the plan is take off on Thursday morning sometime and head north. Hopefully I can make it one trip without stopping to nap too long. It’s a 17 hour drive so this should be interesting. I plan on being back sometime early next week.

Cancun Photos Are Up

Ok so I know it’s been over a week and I DID upload them to my Facebook Account but now I’ve finally gotten around to adding them up to my SmugMug page for your pleasure. Most of the shots are of the hotel and surrounding area and there are very few of D, Gary and I if any. The shot above was actually sent to us by a new friend down in Cancun damn is my tan kickin’. Just kidding.

Have a look at Cancun 2009 – Trip to Mexico for no real reason.

Good Morning from Cancun

Posted on March 12, 2009

First real morning in Cancun and the boys are still asleep. Gary decided to stay on so we have a small extra bed in our room. I can´t sit there all day so I decided to come down to the pool and grab some breakfast. It looks as though updating this thing from my phone is going to be a bit of a mission so I´m hitting the internet cafe next to the bar, which is quite nice. This hotel is amazing, every bit as beautiful as the photos I´ve seen over the years working on the site. Don´t worry Rich Í´m taking as many photos as I can.

Catch you guys later, I´ll upate as often as I can.

    I'm a seasoned 33 year old web designer originally from Cincinnati (born in Wilmington) and now living in West Palm Beach. I specialize in high-end PHP and CSS sites as well as fully functional Wordpress and E-commerce sites for various clients.

    Even though I'm from Ohio I'm a die hard South Florida Surfer and beach guy. I picked up the sport over five years ago and never looked back. Any chance I get I'm in the water, which is sometimes rare considering that South Florida is fairly inconsistent with surf. Those days we do get are always a great gift.
