Rainbow Bridge, Highway 55, Idaho
I’ve driven from Boise to McCall a bunch of times, and each time I drive over this bridge just to the north of Smiths Ferry and wish I had time to stop. I finally made time to schlep up there with some friends in the middle of the night to get this shot. By the time…

Description Of Isaac – 6th Grade
Isaac came home from his first week of school with a homework assignment for his parents: “In a million words or less, describe your child.” After doing the assignment for him, I thought it would be worth saving what I wrote. Here it is, for all posterity: Isaac is a vibrant young man full of…

Hiking The Grand Canyon
Back in May of 2016 Christine and I went on one of the most physically demanding adventures we have ever attempted: Hiking the Grand Canyon. This was no simple trot along the rim for an hour or 2 followed up by some fro-yo at the gift shop… this was a massive, grueling, difficult, stupid hike that…

Sadly, Christine could not make this trip with us due to her school schedule and finals (but she’s absolutely KILLING her studies so…

Vegas, Baby!
Recently Christine and I took the opportunity to drive from Boise to Las Vegas so we could cheer Erica on at a gymnastics meet there. Here is what my dashcam saw during the trip, condensed from a drive that took all day to just over 20 minutes. Interesting(ish) times: 6:00 – I stop to take…

Unbelieveable Beauty All Around Us
I don’t know about you, but my life is busy. Between work, running errands, taking kids to and from where they need to be, trying to spend time with my family, and squeezing in some sleep now and then, I’m swamped. Lately, especially, I’ve felt like little more than a robot or automaton that is…
