Hot Air balloon

In August, Beverly and I went in a hot air balloon with Nathan and Cloe. We left from Park City and landed somewhere north of I-80. It was a lot of fun.

Filling the balloon

We had a happy balloon with a little Communist motif.

I wished I had a golf ball...

It's fun to fly low, too

UK Trip

UK trip


In August 2012 we visited the UK with James and Carol, Mike and Megan, and Bret and Marianne. It was a fantastic trip! The photos aren't necessarily in chronological order. Click on them for higher resolution.

Beverly and Jonathan took the funicular to the top of Cairngorm on a perfectly clear day.
Here is our itinerary. We got off the ship in Edinburgh and drove around for a few days around Loch Ness.
