shawnwright.blog: Out With a Bang

http://blog.shawnwright.com/2010/06/out-with-bang.html

Wednesday, June 23, 2010. Out With a Bang. On our last full-day in Tucson, we slept in a little, before heading south for a little cold war style fun, where we visited the Titan Missile Museum. If you're a nostalgic GenX type like myself, I highly recommend you try to make it down there some day (about 40 miles north of the Mexican border). All and all it's been an excellent trip. While it will be good to be home, it will be an adjustment to be back at work this time thirty-two or so hours from now.

shawnwright.blog: Hugging Trees

http://blog.shawnwright.com/2010/06/hugging-trees.html

Sunday, June 13, 2010. For this short trip to the bay area we had two goals. Hit the beach, and see the redwoods. Well, mission accomplished! Today we visited Muir Woods National Monument, the nearest fedwood forest to bay area. And, while crazy packed, it was awesome. There's a main, paved trail that is even handicap accessible, but there are a number of side trails that are quite excellent. In our hiking today we covered at least five miles through various trails, and we are pooped! Of our parent site.

shawnwright.blog: Meeting Jennie

http://blog.shawnwright.com/2010/07/meeting-jennie.html

Monday, July 26, 2010. World Cup of Softball. We only saw the last half of the game (we got in for free because the ticket booth was closed), but what we saw was good, and Team USA wrapped up the Cup with a 5-1 win over Japan. Afterward there was an award ceremony, with several people saying nice things about Jennie and her legacy, now that she is retired from USA Softball. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

shawnwright.blog: Old Caverns and Old Friends

http://blog.shawnwright.com/2010/06/old-caverns-and-old-friends.html

Monday, June 21, 2010. Old Caverns and Old Friends. Unfortunately, part of that preservation involves taking as little into the cavern as possible, to prevent contamination, meaning the only picture we have of the experience is from the outside. After our excellent guided cavern tour, we spent the evening with long-time, very close family friends, which is always a great time. Wait, who am I kidding, they are family, too. Or the next best thing in the very least. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

shawnwright.blog: Long Ride Home

http://blog.shawnwright.com/2010/06/long-ride-home.html

Friday, June 25, 2010. It seemed like a simple enough idea. Instead of driving the rental car home, catch a flight. Instead of catching a flight from Tucson to OKC with a 3-hour layover somewhere, just drive the two hours to Phoenix and catch a direct flight. Save an hour. Right? For about four minutes. Then the text-message arrived. From Southwest. "Flight delayed". For how long you say? Fortunately, a friend was awake and able to give me a lift home. Obviously I owe him. But my three-in-the-mor...Women...

shawnwright.blog: Back to the beach

http://blog.shawnwright.com/2010/06/back-to-beach.html

Saturday, June 12, 2010. Back to the beach. It had been five years since we were last here in the bay area, which was also the last time we'd visited the beach. The kids were elated to be back. We spent several hours at the beach and on the pier at Santa Cruz. When we got back and got cleaned up, we walked to and through downtown Sunnyvale. It's a nice place! I've started the album of vacation pictures. For this year. Check back for updates. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Womens College World Series.

shawnwright.blog: Keyboards and Airports

http://blog.shawnwright.com/2010/06/keyboards-and-airports.html

Saturday, June 12, 2010. Friday was Darby's last day of Kamp Keyboard, and there was a parent presentation. As the camp was at a retreat about thirty minutes outside of town I had to leave work after lunch to make it. It's a neat little place which Darby has raved about all week. The kids learned how to play the hand bells at camp this week. Pretty neat! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). There was an error in this gadget. The Classen/Citizens Bank Tower.

shawnwright.blog: Third time is a... triple!

http://blog.shawnwright.com/2010/06/third-time-is-triple.html

Wednesday, June 09, 2010. Third time is a. triple! Darby had a REALLY good night at softball tonight. Defensively, coach had her at third base again, which may be where she plays the rest of the season. She's played a lot of third base before, but the last few years have been largely at shortstop or first. She's getting back into the hang of it. Fortunately I was recording at the time! Another fun video. She hit a foul ball that was right back at me. Too bad I stopped recording before she taunted...Subsc...
