Ogunquit & Kennebunk, Maine August 2021 After eight or so years of vacationing on Cape Cod, I convinced Hoang that it was time to mix it up. Why not downeast Maine? Less driving time and I could find essentially the same experience. She (very) reluctantly agreed and that's how we ended up in the center of Ogunquit. … [Read more...]
New York & New Jersey 2021
New York & New Jersey 2021 The Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Red Bulls Arena, & Bronx Zoo Back in early 2020, Calvin's aunt had promised to take him to the Statue of Liberty and his mom promised him the Bronx Zoo, and I promised him an MLS game. None of that happened thanks to the pandemic, so I bundled it all … [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...]
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

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 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...

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...]
