Posted to my Flickr account a while back – love this pair of images taken a few hours apart from my hotel room while I was cramming for a presentation the following morning – wanted to share them here on Trotz.com. A couple more images can be found here.
4th of july, originally uploaded by jetrotz.
Happy 4th, all! Photo from this morning’s Buddy’s 5k Road Race in Aspen that came by Gary & Bobbi’s place about 8am this morning. This runner was passing by a conveniently-hung American flag. How very patriotic! Everyone, be safe and enjoy the day!
Yes, we’ve made it to Colorado. I stopped the car along the very narrow portion of Colorado 82 to grab this image – where the highway drops to a single lane at points, with no signs or other warnings – where we saw this very dense stand of Aspens. The pass was an amazing drive – including the oh-so-frightening lack of guardrails on some of the 10k+ foot switchbacks, although I could have done without the altitude sickness both Sam and I experienced. Talk about wooozy! Photo gallery is here.
So I am far behind on my blog updates. Over the Memorial Day holiday, we packed the troops into the mini (did I mention that we bought a Honda Odyssey back in April – and that we love the thing?) and headed down 75 and I-16 to see my brother and mom. We made a big deal of ‘installing’ the DVD player – which only works on long trips, by the way – so Sam wouldn’t expect that treat on every trip around the corner. He watched the Muppet Movie (via my iPod strung to the back video inputs in the AV system) at least three times. Now he sings Rainbow Connection – so very cute that is! It was a quiet weekend, really, just trying to chill and enjoy some time away. Noah enjoyed his first dip in a pool, and we tried our best to wear Sam out by traipsing him all around downtown. Slideshow of photos from the visit are here.
