I spent the last 4 days in Las Vegas, Nevada. It’s clear to see that Vegas understands the power of mobile marketing. An overwhelming number of billboards and outdoor ads opted not to use a phone number of web address as the call to action. Instead they opted for “text ABCDE to 12345.” Shows, entertainment, [...]

The Hotel Guest Experience
I’m writing this from the convenience of room at the Westin River North in Chicago. Sportscenter is on the TV, Pink Floyd’s The Wall is playing on the iPhone, and I’m wearing a very comfortable robe. That last part is probably too much information.
I’ve stayed at some pretty awesome hotels. My head has hit the [...]
Our 5th Wedding Anniversary
We spent our 5th wedding anniversary in Cancun, Mexico. Cancun holds a special place in our heart because it’s the place we got engaged on June 5, 2002 and it’s where we spent our 3rd anniversary when Cheryl was pregnant with Cora.
Originally, we had planned to spend our 5th anniverary in Las Vegas, NV. However, [...]
We’re Back From Vacation
Cancun was a blast. More updates to come, but wanted to get this photo out there so you all could see we actually made it to Cancun and had a great time. This was taken on our anniversary using the D2Hs, two towels, and the shutter timer.
What I Learned In Cancun
This was my 4th trip to Cancun, Mexico in the last 15 years or so. This trip was really unlike others I’ve taken. Cancun has changed so much. Here is a list of my observations:
1. The dollar is still strong in Mexico (about 12 pesos to the dollar), but things have gotten [...]
2008 Road Trip – New York City
New York City is flat out the best city in the world. The culture, the people, the food; New York has it all. This is Cora’s third trip to the Big Apple, but this is the first time that she was old enough to really enjoy the city.
2008 Road Trip – The Baseball Hall of Fame
On day 3 we arrived at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY. Adam has been to the museum several times, but this was Cheryl’s and Cora’s first visit. We covered the museum inside and out and top to bottom. We saw Schilling’s bloody sock, all 7 of the balls from Nolan Ryan’s no-hitters, [...]
2008 Road Trip – Niagra Falls
On day two of the road trip we left the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland and headed northeast to Niagra Falls. The journey was only about 3 hours and it was completely worth it.
2008 Road Trip – Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
We decided to take a road trip from Minneapolis to New York with the intention of seeing Adam’s family. Along the way we made time stops at The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Niagra Falls, and the Baseball Hall of Fame.
These photos are from our first stop, after 12 hours of driving through the [...]
Fall Is Here
I nailed this one in Cooperstown, NY last week. The foliage was spectacular in upstate New York. This photo just seemed to capture Autumn perfectly.
