Fernandina Beach

Today a bunch of the significant others, including myself, went on a river cruise through the marshes between Florida and Georgia in the area around Fernandina Beach. I was hoping we’d catch a glimpse at an alligator, but, alas, that did not happen. Although we did see dolphins (sadly, I wasn’t able to capture anything…

Greetings from Florida! Patrick has a work conference here in Florida, and this conference is unique in that it encourages attendees to bring their significant others and children! They also offer outings for significant others, one of which included a visit to St. Augustine. Before you ask, we will not be going to Walt Disney…

99W goes Digital

May 17, 2014, 9 Comments

Last summer drive-ins across America faced a crisis: switch to digital or go dark. Thirty-five millimeter film met the cutting room for the final time at the end of 2013, and many drive-ins had not been able to make the costly switch to digital, but a savor showed up in the form of Honda. Honda, under…

On our way home from Palm Springs we took a little detour to the Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco, a place I wanted to visit during my last time to San Fran, but didn’t make it to. The decision to go was somewhat spur of the moment, made in the late evening the…

So if you don’t know by now, I can be kind of morbid, and after visiting The Autry (I didn’t take any photos, as the lighting and display cases proved to be difficult, and I chose instead to focus on the experience, but I highly recommend visiting as it is nothing short of spectacular!) the…

The Ruins and Oddities of Route 66

It’s no secret that I am a fan of roadside Americana. While I love to see these 50-plus year old businesses alive and well, my real passion is photographing the abandoned Americana. I love seeing what time and nature does to man-made structures and objects. So when my dad said he wanted to drive down…

One of the things I really wanted to do this trip to Palm Springs was go to Joshua Tree. But not for the reason many would want to visit this gorgeous park. While most come for the beauty of the landscape, or for cycling or to climb the unique rock formations, my visit was a…

Well, we’re home from California! And with lots and lots of photographs! I’m so eager to share my experiences and photos from this trip. My dad tagging along meant I got to go out and do so many wonderful things! And I’ll be sharing them all with you over the next few days. But today we…

Oops! Kind of forgot to mention I’m off gallivanting in California! Usually I do a little “I’m off! Might blog, might not!” type post, but things quickly spiraled as I attempted to wrap up a great number of things before heading south. This trip is a little different. While the main catalyst for this trip…

Hollywood

Yesterday Patrick and I roamed around Hollywood for awhile. Even without a car, we were able to make it to downtown LA via Metrolink, a commuter rail that connects much of southern California with Los Angeles’ Union Station. Once at Union Station, we were able to take the subway on into Hollywood for a bit…
