The Jersey Shore

Ashley and I are doing a bit of R&R on the Jersey Shore (Ocean City). We decided to do a little crabbing...

We also took a day and went to Atlantic City which is 10 miles up the coast from where we are staying. We walked the "famous" boardwalk and spent some time playing slot machines at Ceasars. Being high rollers we decided that our play limit was $30. At one point we were down to $3...but with a little patients and Ashley's PENNY slot skills she brought us back to $20 which means we walked away only losing $10. I would say a loss of only $10 is a winning day at the casino...

The Goodbye Tour

The Chicago Skyline at 5:20 a.m. as we drove out of the city after visiting our friends Sara (Shipley) and Gustav Hoppe.

After hanging our with Jenn and Jag in Haledon, NJ we realized that their son is a genius...

Fun Times in WI

Since I don't have a puppy or a baby, I have chosen to put some ridiculous pictures of my husband on the blog. Here it goes.

In training for our big hike in the Grand Canyon, starting on Sunday, Joe and I have been hiking around A-town in our hiking boots. On this particular day, it had rained a ton, so our boots were quite muddy. In order to avoid taking off his boots to enter the house, Joe simply and nonchalantly put brown paper sacks over his feet. Gotta love him! OH, and check out his sweet Git' up!


This second set of photos is of our time at Miller Park to watch the Brewers play. Joe and I decided to make our way down to Milwaukee for the day which consisted of eating at Culver's twice and watching the baseball game. (For those of you that don't know or have never eaten at Culver's you are missing out!!!!!!) Miller Park has a retractable roof, so despite the cold weather here in WI, we were able to watch the game in a cozy seat, very high up in the stands. We love our cheap seats.

Nothing Like April In Wisconsin

It is April 12th - this photo is off my parent's back deck.

Cattle Auction

This winter my father-in-law auctioned off his Black Angus breading heard. This was my first cattle auction - I enjoyed it.

Barbary Monkeys

This is video from a trip to the Rock of Gibraltar we took last year. I just learned how to add videos to our blog so I thought i would add this video of us and the mysterious Barbary Monkeys of the Rock of Gibraltar.
