My family and I were blessed with the opportunity to spend 20 glorious days at Ka’anapali Beach on the island of Maui in Hawaii! Our trip was both an escape from the Arizona summer heat as well as a wonderful study in Hawaii living. The best part of our trip was the fact that we weren’t rushed to get anything done, visit any sites, or partake in any “vacation activities” - we had enough time to actually sit back, relax and enjoy our vacation!
The Sunflower Mine trail is an off road trail in Arizona. The entrance to the trail is about midway between Phoenix and Payson off the Beeline (87) highway. The trail’s highlights are an old abandoned Mercury mine, a creek bed (which occasionally has water running through it), and lots of great camping spots.
As most of my friends know I eagerly ordered a brand new 2007 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon (4-door model) almost as soon as they were available. I’m proud to say that after almost three years I’ve finally gotten around to giving her the proper upgrades!
Thanks to a good friend of ours my family has access to a great townhouse in Park City, UT. As I’m sure you can imagine, we all love to get out of the sun from time to time and go play in the wonderful snow of Utah! I didn’t get any pictures on the slopes, but here are a few shots from our trip while Madison and I were playing in the snow around the townhouse.
Below are pictures from a trip I refer to as The Double Musky Express! The trip basically entails collecting up as many of your friends as you can, flying to Alaska, doing some site seeing, and having dinner at The Double Musky - the best restaurant in Alaska if not the entire West coast! Now most folks can figure out how to pull that off without too much trouble, but to do all of that in less than 36 hours is what makes it the Express!
My lovely wife Mechelle and I were married at the Carneros Inn in Napa, CA on June 25th, 2006. We were honored by all the family and friends who came to Napa to participate in our wedding. Napa of course provided the perfect setting, and the Carneros Inn is one of our favorite spots to stay whenever we visit Napa. I can honestly say that these were the best days of my life.
