George's first visit to the Alamo. The church is one of the very few parts of the sprawling grounds that is actually original; most everything else, fortifications and all, has been reconstructed.  George wanted to spend a lot of time at the Alamo, but after awhile he realized how commercial …

Some experiences and reviews travelling around ;D

Texas Excursion

Well, as strange as this may seem, we did have snow in Kilgore, Texas. The couple of photos that I shot don't even beging to tell you how much fun the students had with this white stuff that fell from Heaven. As bad, well for those of us  who don't get snow, this wasn't anything compared t…

It's our first visit with our relatives since getting married in June.

Each year a groupd of us head over to the Grapevine and do some indoor rock climbing. It is a hoot. We all think we are something else. We laugh, fall, struggle and just have a good time. Here are some photos of just how much fun anyone can have no matter what size you are. The prices are fair …
