"Why?" "What the heck?" "What's the purpose of that?" "I don't get it." These are but a few of the comments I've heard since I became aware of highpointing and decided it was a goal I'd like to pursue. And that was just from my (at the time of this writing) fiancee, the … [Read more...]
Maui
Wowie Maui, Hawaii May 2005 Exactly two years after our honeymoon to Hawaii (Kauai, Big Island, Oahu), Hoang's performance at work earned her a trip to Maui. Yes folks, your generous Aetna premiums in the early to mid 2000's helped the company pay for a couple hundred or so top performers and their spouses to stay … [Read more...]
US State Counts
Tally-Ho! I’ve created this page for my son, Calvin. He was 8 when I put this together because 8-year-olds love this stuff. (So do their fathers, shhhhhhh.) I know that some people have all sorts of rules for this stuff, like overnighting vs. driving through vs. airport layovers, but… I don’t. If a foot was set in a … [Read more...]
Massport to Nachursetts: Wellfleet Bay
Passport to Nature, Mass Audubon Wellfleet Bay, Wellfleet August 2016 At this point, I've only been to two Mass Audubon properties (of 21). Regardless, I imagine this one at Wellfleet Bay has to be one of the best. The Nature Center is large, modern, informative, and quite impressive. And the trails out to the … [Read more...]
Massport to Nachursetts: Long Pasture
Passport to Nature, Mass Audubon Long Pasture, Barnstable August 2016 The little center in Barnstable on the western end of Cape Cod is, I think, the newest of the Mass Audubon Centers. It's in a house that has been converted to... well, most of it appears to still be a house, but the living room is now a … [Read more...]
Mass Audubon Passport to Nature
Mass Exodus? Mass Audubon Passport to Nature Warning: This page/challenge is absurd for me to even consider. It’s in Massachusetts. I don’t “do” Massachusetts on this website. Yet, here I am. “Doing” Massachusetts. Sigh. Though, if you sully yourselves and click on the links or tags, please know I … [Read more...]
CCMQ
Cape Cod Museum Quest 2014- I have no plans to ever expand on this idea for several reasons: I've spent an entirety of 20 days on Cape Cod in my life (at least 10 of which were spent entirely at a beach), I have no idea how many more days I'll spend on the Cape in my life, and getting to museums is not even … [Read more...]
South Florida: 2010
Everglades and South Beach April 20-23, 2010 Oh look! Hoang and I went to South Beach again. My parents were awesome for watching Damian for a few days in Delaware and we flew out of Philly for a few days in the sun. Here are 19 pictures. … [Read more...]
Vacations Intro
Vacations with Hoang and Family 2001 Onward This page is a work in progress in 2020-21. 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 … [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...]
