Road Tripping

Adam — Sat, 17 Apr 2010 11:50:57 +0000

My brother and I are in the process of driving down to Jacksonville Beach, FL to photograph a wedding on Sunday. so far it has been a pretty interesting and fun trip. The first surprising thing is that the Magelan GPS app that I downloaded for my iPhone works AMAZINGLY well! A lot better than the old Magellan GPS that is 2 years old. I also bought the MAgellan Cradle for that works with the GPS app, and together it is great! We decided to go against the GPS and not go through Nashville on the way down. The reason is that we are going to be stopping in Nashville on the way home, so we wanted some different scenery. Also, by taking a little alternate route, we get to go through North and South Carolina as well. In fact, I am writing this at a Red Roof Inn in Spartanburg, South Carolina right now. We ran into a little bit of trouble, because the route from Knoxville, TN to Asheville, NC was closed due a rock slide that closed the entire highway October 2009. So we ended up having to take this alternate route through these small little towns. Took forever! But we got to see some cool countryside. We also got to see a mountain on fire. They must have been dong a controlled burn on the mountain, but you could see it burning. Was kind of cool. I also saw a couple of Black Bears in Tennessee, so that was pretty cool. The Red Roof Inn is alright for a quick overnight stop, but it was free thanks to my good friend Kendra who won a free stay during a radio contest. She said, she probably wouldn’t use it and gave it to me. Luckily, the south is riddled with Red Roof Inns. That and Waffle Houses. Seems like every exit ramp has a Waffle House. We ate at one last night in Asheville, NC to see how it was. Not too bad actually. Today we will finish the drive to our hotel near Jacksonville Beach, FL. looking forward to more fun times today. We both got to go through states we have never been to before, and now today we will hit Georgia and Florida. Unfortunately, I did take a picture, just a quick snap of me and my brother driving, but I don’t have time to post it till later maybe. But I am hoping to more than make up for it later.

Sunset Park – Sturgeon Bay, WI

While we were camping last weekend, I took the opportunity to do a quick little photo shoot with Addison on the beach at Sunset Park in Sturgeon Bay. It is actually quite a nice little park with a beach, and a very nice sunset. This picture is the one of the pictures from that park. If you click the link to the gallery, you will also see a lighthouse in Door County and some boats.

Happy Late 4th of July

I hope everyone had a good 4th of July! With the new baby we have been extremely busy, but we did have a cookout on Saturday for the 4th. I was busy cooking away on the grill, and I had gone in to get something, and when I came back out and looked up, there was this Whitetail Deer standing about 30 feet away eating out of my neighbors feeder. This was about 4:30 in the afternoon. I grabbed my wife’s point and shoot to snap a picture quick to prove to my neighbors what was going on, and ran to my office to get my camera. This and a few others are the pictures I got. The buck left shortly after I snapped some quick shots. A little while later the in-laws came over for supper and a bonfire. Grandpa went and got some fireworks, and my daughter loved them (just the showering sparkle kind, nothing crazy). All in all it was a good day! Hope yours was too!

Addison The Dancer

I thought I might share a picture from one of my latest photo shoots. It is a picture of Addison in her dance outfit. Her recital is in May, and she is very excited for it. Even more excited to have such a fun costume. I just like this picture and the way she looks in it.
