The Skywalk at the Grand Caynon


The Grand Canyon West offers something more that the national park does, a sky walk. This glass platform lets tourists walk over the edge of the canyon and look straight down. It is not recommended for persons with a fear of heights.

Scorpion or Bust

At first glance a scorpion can be scary, but making new friends is worth the danger.

Admittedly the Yankees have not won a World Series since 2000. However, in 1998 they swept the Padres for their 24th World Championship. 11 years later I've decided that their hat was too good to pass up.

While Tricia liked the hat she nearly flew out of her chair as the Padres won with an extra innings walk off home run. I was beside her, passed out!
Beautiful downtown San Diego, famous for their gorgeous weather, boasts the Maritime Aircraft Carrier and Museum. Tricia is seen here in her brand new sweatshirt just soaking up the rays.

San Diego Zoo


Honestly, what is a trip to the San Diego Zoo unless you ride a polar bear?

San Diego

Upon the uphill climb through the desert we came upon a spot overlooking southern California. Tricia, Rudy, and I all took a trip to San Diego during the middle of May and it was cold. 71 degrees was the highest it ever reached!

Rudy (seen to the right) is attempting to steal my girl friend, while his wife is in Iowa with his son. Inevitably we call these small moments, "Rudy Moments."
