We went to Disney World in Florida after Jordan’s school year ended in late May. We got some really good photos while there! First up: Jordan’s favorite ride, Tower of Terror. Laura was closing her eyes so as not to lose her contact lens as the drop started. Jordan also really liked Splash Mountain! And what trip to Disney World would be complete without a ride on Space Mountain? Keep looking here as I’ll be posting some more good shots…
Here are my Sydney photos in a slideshow format:
A few weeks back, work brought me Down Under for a week in Sydney and Newcastle in New South Wales, Australia. These cities are on the east coast of Australia, about 2 1/2 hours drive apart. Here is a map showing Sydney: Being March and south of the equator, Sydney was experiencing an early fall and the temperatures were about 75F each day that we were there. These shots were all taken with a Sony Cyber Shot point and shoot,…

The map shows a label for the Missouri; you can see the white markers…
We came back to Cleveland for Thanksgiving. We had Thanksgiving dinner at Kate’s, a party on Saturday at Erin’s, dinner with the Covell’s and Mom and Dad on Friday and plenty of fun on Saturday. It was great seeing all of you!
We took a ride on a WWII vintage vehicle called a DUKW, essentially a GMC truck that converted to a boat. It was used in amphibious landings on beaches by the Allies in WWII and Korea, and now carries tourists around the Wisconsin Dells. Here is some information on the DUKW. It really was fun to ride in a truck that converted into a boat! We went into the Wisconsin River at the Wisconsin Dells, a very interesting rock formation…
At the end of the summer, in August 2011, we went up to Wilderness Territory in the Wisconsin Dells and brought along Sara Boland. Here are some pictures from that trip!

Back in July 2010, I spent two weeks in Italy for work. I was lucky enough to be able to get up to Lake Como and also over to Venice over the weekend. First Lake Como. This is a very wealthy area with many old and historic buildings. It is beautiful and is highly recommended. I took the train from Milan to Como and then took a boat to Bellagio. Great fun! Here are some pictures from Lake Como! Even…
