Images and Notes from Life
Baxter’s got so many words these days, and he’s starting to put them together into 2-4 word phrases. Mostly demands for food, attention, subservience, etc. The first few photos show him making and asking me to eat Soup. Soup is one of his favorite things these days. Liquids are either aqua or soup. The second batch show him lying on the floor saying, “night, night” to himself. There are also a couple of fish-eye lens shots. Neato!
On the way back from Puerto Vallarta for Christmas, we stopped in the Bay Area to spend time with Family and Friends for a couple of days. Here are some pictures of Heather, Randi, their amazing cat, CHG, and James. And. Baxter, of course.
Here are some pics of Bax’s 2nd Birthday. Check out the rockin choo-choo cake.
After years of construction in San Diego, my brother Dave got his sail boat dialed in and embarked on his no-timeline journey into southern waters.
His first stop would be Puerto Vallarta, and since it was around Christmas time when he planned to be there, he suggested that he rent a condo as a gift to the family so that we could join him for the holidays. The family came to a rare, unanimous decision that it would be so.
It turned out to be the right decision. Perfect weather and an amazing condo made for an unforgettable holiday in the sun. Easter in Costa Rica?
Toward the end of our stay in Barcelona, Megan was kind enough to sort the logistics on taking the train to a small wine region about two hours train ride outside of Barcelona. The town we visited there, home to an early 20th century wine cellar, was named Falset.
Equal parts quaint and Orwellian, Falset was fun to explore. The trip – both the trainride and the tour of the winery – was a highlight of our stay in Spain.
I think this is one of the 7 wonders of the world. If not it shoudl be. Words cannot begin to express, and pictures just scratch the surface. Seen it twice now and it always leaves me in awe.
We spent one sunny Barcelona afternoon at the beach. How can you go to the Mediterranean coast and not get in the water, right? Plus, topless sunbathing y’all. Dang.
