Welcome

The purpose of this blog is twofold. First and foremost it is in preparation for an upcoming class that I will be teaching at the Lister Academy - it will allow for me to experiment with the technology that we will be using in the class, plus give a forum for my students and I to stay connected.
Secondly, this blog gives a nice side-effect that our friends and family can see what we're up to during our travels. I hope that all viewers (students, colleagues, friends and family) will enjoy the posts and feel free to leave your own comments.

Exploring Northern California



After a hearty breakfast we headed up to the Jedediah Smith Redwood State Park. On the way we made a few stops. The first was at Stone Lagoon, where the wedding ceremony will take place. It’s a beautiful location that completely suites Corey and Amber.






The next stop was at the Roosevelt Elk herd where we (along with lots of RV’s and campers) stopped to look at and take pictures of the elk (do you see it in the background behind Carmela and me?).



















When we finally arrived at the redwoods forest, we got a chance to walk among the grove of the Titans – these are some of the largest trees on the planet. They were amazing!! It’s hard to capture in pictures the scale and scope of these giants (that's why I include a video too). It is a magical place that we will have to return to explore.
