Awwwww!

 We subscribe to a newsletter called 1440. Here's from their Humankindness section:

Today, we're sharing a story from reader Bob P. in Georgetown, Texas.

"While shopping at Dollar Tree recently I overheard another customer's conversation with a cashier. Every year he saves up his loose tip change as a server at Cotton Patch Cafe. As Christmas nears he collects it all in then goes to Dollar Tree and buys as many small stuffed toys as his savings will allow. This year he bought about $300 worth of stuffed toys. The restaurant he works at donates an empty refrigerated cooler to keep the toys in at the restaurant. As families come in and eat at his assigned tables he surprises the children with a 'cold' stuffed toy and tells them it came directly from the North Pole and Santa Claus. The joyful faces and excited reaction of the kids and even the parents are priceless."

"Great white sharks now a tourist attraction at San Diego beach"

We love this! https://ftw.usatoday.com/2022/11/great-white-sharks-now-tourist-attraction-at-torrey-pines-beach-san-diego

Please do remember, as the article notes, "White sharks are protected and targeting them while fishing is illegal".

Here's a photo of a white shark and a stingray at Oceanside Beach in June of this year (2022)! 😏

Fun in DC Reagan Airport! (2016)

Another October 30, 2016 road trip memory - here we are in the DC Reagan Airport! They have kiosks you order from. When we were last here this past May it looked exactly the same. 

Memory from 2016!

On this day (October 30) in 2016 we were in Western Maryland, driving back to DC to take the plane home.

Back on Blogger!

We had been over on Twitter for a few years but are coming back to Blogger. We have some recent road trips to Colorado to post, so look for those soon!

We've moved our stuff around a bit too much and some of the links went missing. But! We found our Chicago 2009 road trip album!

As we're moving back to our blog from our Facebook page we ran across one of our favorite albums: the World War II Memorial in Washington D.C. We were there in June of 2006.

National Parks! (once they are open again...)

"Make it your New Year’s resolution to visit all US national parks in 2019"

Here's when we went to Arches National Park in 2016:



If we need to procrastinate on something (and we're pretty sure we feel that coming on soon ;-) we will post some photos of us at the Grand Canyon National Park!

On the road again!

Traveling continues to be a pain in the tail fin (TSA...what a joy...we miss the 90s...) but it's fun to hang out in cool airports like Denver's!

Go Broncos!

We're sad that Denver lost (bad officiating didn't help %-/) but it was a great fun to be there!

AT&T and Blogger Not Playing Well Together

Sometime after our last trip, at the end of October, and now, Blogger started having problems accepting mobile posts from AT&T phones. Until they get that bug worked out we won't be able to moblog :-(

Update! The AT&T/Blogger functionality is working again! We have decided, however, that it's probably a security risk to post to this moblog while we're actually away from home, so we'll be saving our posts as drafts and publishing them once we're back home.
