Hershey and Strasburg
Here are the photos from earlier this week. It's been a weird couple weeks with the trip to Minnesota, back to work for a day then off the Hershey then back to work a couple days and then a weekend. Kumie and Grandma are coming to town this week as is Uncle Adam on Saturday at Nissan Pavilion. I'm headed to Philly and won't see much of Kumie or Grandma but will be back for the show.
Played golf today, poorly and have a bunch of work to do before the board meeting and National Event in Philly. Off to bed.

Basement of Rock
Nicole and I un-packed the gifts Uncle Adam sent the kids and set them up in the basement last night. The drums being as loud as they are I believe that's where they will stay. I gave the boys the whole story that a Counting Crows truck backed up in the driveway last night and the roadies brought the equipment in, etc. They were pretty excited to see it and immediately started making a lot of noise.
We will bring them to Hershey with us this week but I don't know how the drums are going to work on stage with the band during Hangin Around. I'm sure they will be inaudible to the crowd but they may be a little distracting to the band on stage. It's surprisingly quiet on stage in a big arena with all the sound being projected out to the audience and the band all having individual monitors. We might have to find quiet drumsticks. Maybe Jim has some.
I posted a 160 pictures from the recent trip to Grandview Lodge in flickr this morning. Some pretty good shots of the kids in this batch. I actually used all three lenses I have for my D70 and a couple different filters. I case you missed the link above, here it is again.

Lake Minnetonka
Got back out on the lake this visit with my buddy Kevin from High School. We spent so many care free summer days out on that lake doing a lot of nothing but cruising around. Rob, Skoog and Dan joined for the 3 hour cruise before the pre-reunion and official reunion parties. It's been a whirlwind 25th and I enjoyed seeing all the old crew but found myself bewildered at points last night. I think that's fodder for another post once I sort that all out.

MSP
Made it into Minneapolis yesterday on time and ready for a nap. The boys headed down to the basement to play with the trains the minute they got in the door of Grandma and Grandpa's house. We really didn't do much but a little work and some nap time. Played golf today while the boys and the girls went to the Minnesota Mill Museum and the Mall of America which were both a hit. 25th high school reunion tomorrow. That'll be fun.

Home
I made it home yesterday with little difficulty but I was tired most of today. Had to get up a 4am to get to LAX in time for a 8am flight but made it home to spend some time with the boys before passing out. It was a good weekend of meetings and social events but I'm glad to be home preparing for our trip to Minnesota. Yah, ya no.

A New Town
So our first trip to National Harbor was fun last night. That place is like a whole new town springing up from nowhere just about 3 miles away from us. Literally, it will be 30 square blocks of shops, restaurants, hotels, condos and parks on the banks of the Potomac when it's complete. It's already pretty impressive but only a quarter complete at this point. Now we have the 259 year old Town of Alexandria on one side of the river and the 6 month old town of National Harbor on the other. Should keep us entertained for some time to come. I took a lot of photos and got some good ones will all the light from a setting sun. Check them out on Flickr.

Summer Color
It's been a tiring week for some reason but the boys have been keeping me entertained on a nightly basis. They have really been enjoying Baseball Camp and have been hitting the pool with their friend Jackson or karate class most afternoons. They are just a bunch of giggles most nights at dinner and seem to be able to entertain each other regardless if Nicole and I were there. I guess as they become more verbal and exposed to more things they begin to open up like this flower. I had to tie the picture into the comments in some way.

Longest Chain of Shoes
So the shoes being laid out last night at National Geographic was a Guinness Book World Record for the longest chain of shoes. Yes, more than 10,500 shoes all tied together. I guess I witnessed history in the making. Here's a story and some better pictures of the earth shattering event.

National Geographic seems to be rolling out a new outdoor display that includes lots of shoes in their driveway. It isn't done yet but looks interesting and messy at the same time.
