Holly's House

My grandmother needed a gate and here's another one of my father's creations.  She was just tickled to have her son build her something she's needed for so long.  I enjoyed watching my non-engineer uncle be in awe of Daddy's mad skillz, and see him "boss" around his little brother to get the job done.

Blockbuster Video

I saw one. Apparently, it still exists!

I'm up in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, with my father and uncles visiting my grandmother. And I guess when you're "off the grid" (as it feels to my east coast ass) you have access to amazing, circa-1998 services. Like Blockbuster.

In-N-Out Burger win.  Daddy got a chocolate shake and guess who had a sip?  Or three...

Washington Monument from DuPont

Under construction, at the moment.  I tried to snap a picture of the Jefferson monument on the metro back to DCA, but I can never remember which side of the train to sit on.

And yes, I went to DC for lunch.  ;)

Where Reagan got shot!

MUC comes to me!

Thanks Usagi, for your "severe threat" to HKG.

Stay tuned for where I do end up.  Strong contenders:  DCA, FCO, MUC (now I'm really dreaming), and of course PHL.
