I've visited New Bern and my wonderful girlfriend, and her work place. We played with her dog, and made some waffles. These are her waffles, mine was just loaded with butter.
A few weekends later, joined her family in Myrtle Beach. Got some saltwater taffy, walked around barefoot landing and Broadway at the beach, and took it easy. Even got the camera turned on me! Actually, I only took one of the pictures below...which is it?
The next trip was down to New Bern. There was an air show! Got to see the Blue Angels, some Harriers, and some V-22's. Took a lot of pictures here, and have a photo book on the way (next week!).
Then, I went to Germany for a week (for work unfortunately, and not with the person I really want to go with). Got to walk around some, at least...and have some dunkel weissen (dark wheat beer)!
Despite a near last minute change of plans, plans came to fruition, and my favorite person met me at the airport when I got back to the states. Took it easy, watched some F1, and went to Ben and Jerry's factory in Vermont. Couldn't think of a better way to recover from jet lag. Ice cream samples too!
Then was June 5th, or 3/4ths, as it was known by a couple people this year. Unfortunately I didn't have company for celebration, but did get to see Venus pass in front of the sun. Made a home made solar filter for my telephoto lens so I wouldn't go blind. Here was the result. Puts things in perspective, and really drives the vastness of the universe home...all by watching a little black dot move in front of the sun. Look, sun spots too!
Formula 1 in Montreal! A great vacation. Couldn't have been better. Well maybe if Senna or Alonso won the race, but we weren't so lucky. Between the race and the evenings, we took 1191 pictures! This trip could have several posts to itself, but here are a few pictures.
Good times the past four months. Clearly some themes...travel and my awesome girlfriend. More to come! Looking forward to 5/6ths and a week of vacation around the 4th of July.
