Blistery Hudson Views

I took a quick, impromptu trip upstate to visit with my family this past week, and you just know I had to snap some photos from the train of the gorgeous Hudson River along the way. Thought I’d share them here.

Bis bald, friends! Are you all taking as many pictures of the snow and ice as possible like I am?

A West Point Weekend Trip

Hi friends!

So this past weekend the whole fam took a trip to our old stomping grounds—West Point— to watch Army take on Tulane in a football game at Michie Stadium. Although the game was a total blowout (we won!), it was fun to be back to the place where we spent four years (my dad taught there back when I was in elementary school), and to have my dad give Chris his official tour. Here’s a little bit of what we saw:

Cadets do push ups for every point they score
B-L-O-W-O-U-T
The whole Motley Crew
After the game we took a little tour—even on a cloudy day the scenery is gorgeous

And, of course, the end of the day found us here. At our cars. Drinking beer. Now that's the sign of a great day.

With this weekend behind us, I’m now looking forward to Thursday, when I take off for Chicago with my best friend to watch Chris run the Chicago Marathon. I’ve never been to Chicago … so I’m looking forward to bringing back some great pics and info for ya’ll!

Bis bald!
