Easter Gardens

In between eating way too much food, we went to the Botanical Gardens with Mom and Dad to enjoy the great weather on Easter.

Quick Trip

Mom and Dad made the drive up from Florida for dinner and to meet Jess -- also my phone takes terrible pictures.

Finished product

A very relieved work crew shows off their handy-work.  Unfortunately I think they've retired from the flooring business after this week.

Also ... the nook now has a new centerpiece thanks to Bruce Springsteen and some very cool people from NJ.  

The Best of CO

At the Broncos game with the family to see Tim Tebow's first NFL win, and then out with Palmer friends for a less-than-traditional 26th.

Christmas Eve Traditions

First, Dad and I headed over to help w/ NORAD Tracks Santa ...

Then everyone got dressed up and went to Carlo's for dinner.

Tree Trimming

Time to really get ready for Christmas!

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a great idea for a holiday.  Colder this year at the cabin than down in Florida, but just as much fun.

Wisteria

After a hard day of furniture shopping (actually, sort of mid-shopping), we hit Wisteria for dinner.  

This was as awesome as it looks -- especially the braised greens mac and cheese which my mom is stealing in this picture.  Some things never change.

Ellis Paul

Great venue, great singer, and now every member of my family has seen Ellis Paul at Eddie's Attic -- oddly enough.

Java Jive

Excellent breakfast with the fam (even though I'm sure none of us needed to eat again), highly recommended to anyone in Atlanta -- cash only, though.

Aquarium

Mom and Dad were still in town, so we went to the Georgia Aquarium.  There I learned that the sea is home to some of the most beautiful creatures in the world.  And some of the most disgusting.
