by vic on January 4, 2011

 

I had the great pleasure of attending the 2011 Rose Bowl and Rose Parade with my daughter Erica. We stayed with my long time friend Josh and his wife Sheila (and of couse Ethan their 2 year old Son). The weather was cold and the rain held off until Sunday after the game. This post includes some of the pictures from this trip. Click on the picture above to see more.

Colorado

by vic on October 7, 2010

I had the distinct pleasure of tagging along with my friend Bill on a trip to visit his brother in Snowmass Colorado. What an amazing place. Bill’s brother John and his lovely wife Karla were gracious enough to put up with me for a couple of days and I can’t thank them enough. Here are some of the pictures I took on that trip. I still have some to work on but I wanted to get these posted so Bill, John and Karla could take a look.
