Vacations with Hoang and Family 2001 Onward This page is a work in progress. I realize that Hoang and I are the only ones who look at these pictures but that's sort of the point. Just an organized place to keep our vacation memories together. We've had more fun than should be allowed... then we had kids and, … [Read more...]

Fenwick Island, DE: 2012
Yeah, That's Right. Delaware. Fenwick Island, DE 2012 August 21-27, 2012 Who vacations in Delaware? We do. Some family friends have a house in Fenwick Island, which is on the border with Maryland and is more or less the sleepy northern end of Ocean City, MD. Because we’re cool, we … [Read more...]
Las Vegas, NV: 2012
Viva Las Antibiotics Las Vegas, 2012 May 29-June 2, 2012 I had a work conference in Las Vegas so I asked my parents if they could deal with our sons for a few days to allow Hoang to join me in the desert. Note: I asked them 13 months in advance and got my sister, who lives very near my parents, to agree to assist … [Read more...]
Day 7
Hurricane Swirly Earl September 3, 2010 All week we'd been hearing about the impending doom named Hurricane Earl. And there we were, on the south coast of Rhode Island about to be wiped off the face of the earth. As it turned out, quite fortunately for us, the storm weakened and turned eastward and was nothing more … [Read more...]
Day 6: Rhode Island 2010
Green Scene September 2, 2010 Tired of the beach, we struck out north up to Portsmouth for half the day. At some point in my life I got four free passes to any Newport Mansion properties. Two years prior, during our first Rhode Island trip, we all went to see The Breakers I think. Since the passes had no … [Read more...]
Days 4-5: Rhode Island 2010
Just Beachy August 31 - September 1, 2010 Behold the mighty alabaster belly! Here, Hoang and Damian were signing "I love you" to each other. Awwww... Here, Damian was making faces and cracking Hoang up... ... Busting her up real good... Seriously, this went on for a good long while, and then... A … [Read more...]
Days 1-3: Rhode Island 2010
Crazy ol' Rhode Island August 28-30, 2010 I don't even have any pictures of the 29th and can only assume we did nothing but lounge around and go to the beach all day. But on the 30th we did venture out to Newport for the usual Newport stuff but also a stop at the somewhat lame Save The Bay Exploration Center and … [Read more...]
Rhode Island 2010 Intro
Point Judith, Narragansett, RI August 28 - September 4, 2010 I grew up in Delaware, live in Connecticut and we’ve started this Rhode Island vacation house thing. That means I grew up in the second smallest state, live in the third smallest and vacation in the smallest. That’s weird, right? No, no, not weird that … [Read more...]
Montreal 2001
Burlington VT/Montreal, QC October 2001 Truth be told I'm just cleaning up my desktop and came across these old scanned in pictures from a little weekend trip Hoang and I took to Montreal back in October 2001. I happen to love Montreal and used to go up there more than I'd go to New York in my pre-children days. … [Read more...]
Days 14 & 15: Annemasse, Geneva, Nice
July 23 & 24 Annemasse is the unknown French border town that abuts Geneva. Everything is half the price it is in Geneva, including hotels, so we stayed there. Also, Annemasse was the Tour's start town the day we were there, so we got to see the start of the race in the rain. Geneva is exactly as you'd imagine … [Read more...]
