Flying J Ranch

At every family reunion, the whole family spends an evening at the Flying J Ranch. Before the traditional cowboy dinner and variety music show begins, the "sheriff" gets into a shoot out with two nefarious "criminals". Will those pesky criminals ever learn?

Walker Aviation Museum

While in New Mexico, we got a private tour of Roswell's Air Museum. My favorite part was reading the vintage letters and valentines cards on display.

Roswell Museum and Art Center

Roswell Museum and Art Center has a little bit of everything, and is a must see for anyone visiting Roswell.  

The art and history displays are great, but my all time favorite aspect of the RMAC is that it has a working pottery studio inside. While touring around I got to see some of my grandparents' creations.

Anderson Museum of Contemporary Art

The Anderson Museum of Contemporary Art is always one of my favorite places to visit when in Roswell.

New Mexico

I just got back to the states and I'm already traveling again. For the next week I will be in New Mexico touring, visiting and attending my family's reunion.

Eureka High School Reunion

It is hard to believe the Eureka High School class of 2002 graduated 10 years ago. Tonight I get to meet up with old friends and reflect over the past 10 years. Since High School I have gotten a BA, MA, and spent the last year living in the Philippines. With any luck, the next 10 years will be as exciting and challenging, though hopefully a little more comfortable :p

Back In The USA

If feels so weird to be back in the United States. Everything seems so quiet, unpolluted and beautiful. Walking around Humboldt County almost seems like there has been an Apocalypse, because there are so few people compared to how I have been living. The sunny 70 degree weather seems freezing. The food is  delicious, cheep and varied, and having heated indoor  pluming is amazing!
