We were driving home after an incredible time camping at Klamath and Crater Lakes in Oregon and then at the Redwoods. It was our first bionafied family camping trip and it’d been all we hoped for and more. Long drive home and of course there came a point where one of us asked the question. I can’t remember if it was me asking my wife or vice versa but it doesn’t really matter. The answer we came to was the [...]
It’s been over 4 years since the first iPhone was released. I was not standing in line outside an Apple Store on June 29, 2007 on that historic day but it was not long before I had one. And in the past 4 years I’ve snapped thousands of pictures. It’s ridiculous. And in those thousands and thousands of photos we captured lots of memories.

I’d love to visit all those cities named above… and more! But our current [...]
We’re going camping. Summer is in full swing and my Facebook and Twitter feeds are loaded with tales of family trips. We live in Lake Tahoe. It’s beautiful here in the summer. I don’t want to travel away from Lake Tahoe in the summer–that’s what spring and fall are for (come winter I’ll be on the slopes!). But I’m a restless fellow. I love settling into routines at home. I love the relationships. Our church. Our friends. But it doesn’t [...]
