In 2001, Lynn West and I took a two week trip to Ireland. I had just purchased my first SLR (a Pentax ZX-50) and I took 17 rolls of film. These are just a few.

Ginnie’s birthday was last week, and we took a quick trip to Chincoteague to see the ponies and sit on the beach on Assateague Island.
We also did a LOT of bike riding, much to the disappointment of these ducks who were quite taken with our bicycles.
I’m not much of a sun person. We fair-skinned, redhaired, Irish girls tend to burn. But I do love the beach if I can have some shade - or a big hat. So we rode our bikes to the Fort Zachary Taylor State Park and then strolled along the Gulf Coast. ...
We saw a great female impersonator by the name of Randy Roberts on our last night in Key West. What a fabulous time! He looked amazing (especially his Cher!), was really funny, and sang his ass off! We just loved him! (hence all the exclamation points!!!)

We just got back from Florida yesterday. I’ve got 941 photos to dig through, but here’s one that quickly caught my eye. More (much more) later!
For Christmas this year, Ginnie and I gave my nieces tickets to see Mary Poppins on Broadway. And since they are only 9 and 6 years old, they couldn’t very well go by themselves, so we took them to New York one very cold weekend in January.
We crammed a lot into our just-over-24-hour trip....
It was a whirlwind trip to Baltimore. We drove up on a Sunday in July and back on Monday. However, dinner on the Harbour was well worth the drive. The food was great, the view magnificent, and the pianoman knew every song you imagine. (When I find his card - it’s here somewhere -...
