Mexico!

So Amy and I are off to Cancun, Mexico tomorrow for our friends Noam and Meryl's wedding. We are staying at the Moon Palace resort so it is not quite "spring break Cancun. Check out the picture I found another vacationer had taken. Be jealous, very jealous...

Memorial Day Weekend

I hope that everyone had a great weekend, the weather here in Philly was excellent. And Amy and I got out and enjoyed it with lots of friends. One of the things we did that was really nice was a great dinner at the Waterworks Restaurant near the Art Museum. The weather was so perfect that we ate outside and watched the sun go down over the Schuylkill. That along with a BBQ today and Morimotos on Saturday, Amy and I had a great weekend in the city this weekend.

Below is a picture of the view after sunset from dinner on Sunday.

New Indiana Jones Flick

So we went out to the new Indiana Jones movie. I my opinion it was a great movie, even through there was quite a few over the top scenes and stunts, with my favorite being when Dr. Jones walked away from being blasted by an atomic bomb in a refrigerator what looked like a couple of miles, which was quite a feat indeed.

Anyway if you get a chance and were a fan of he first three, it is a fun and entertaining movie.

DadVail Pics

So last weekend I got up around 5:30am (probably was due to the fact I fell asleep at 9pm), so I took the camera and went for a walk to check out the Dad Vails.

The first one if for my cousin Allie, being a UD alumnus I am sure she was missing being in Philly this spring for the Vails.

This next one was possiable because I was able to get right down near the start by walking down to the dock they were using for the stake boaters. The best shot I got was this one from the Bucknell JV. That stroke's face is priceless, I do know that he would be stronger if he exhaled vs. holding his breath for the start. And that cox screaming brings back some memories, probably why I liked the bow so much better than stoke, it is always easier to unplug the speaker than get the cox to quite down.

Good Work NC

So while I have not yet been clear with my political leanings on the blog to date I am going to come out and say that I am an Obama supporter. I am excited about the results in North Carolina, even though right now Hillary is giving a victory speech for Indiana even though CNN has not yet called the state for her. And she is making a big deal about the ridiculous gas tax relief, which nearly everyone recognizes as a complete sham, lets HOPE for better CHANGE this summer.

PA Roadtrip Picture

So spring in PA is great, and we have had plenty of rain recently so on the way back from Cincinnati this weekend Amy and I took a short detour from the turnpike and drove 20 miles or so on the back roads. In fact on the way back to Philly we made quite a few stops, all in Ohio. We stopped at the outlets before Columbus, Penn Station for lunch and then Greaters in Columbus for dessert. The back roads in PA were beautiful and I had to post this picture of the green fields and barn.
