I started running again on March 19th, 2011. So far I’ve logged over 83 miles, burning over 13,000 calories and losing 27 pounds. Last month was my first full month of running. One of the other big changes I made was to my diet. I stopped eating what I wanted to eat and started eating [...]
Great day for sledding in the Columbia River Gorge town of Carson, WA last weekend. Carson received almost two feet of snow which is pretty much unprecedented now days. We were going to head further into the mountains but after talking to some locals we found this spot. This was at steep street in the [...]
I spent a good deal of my morning researching the my Apple iPhone Credit issue, even with a nasty hangover (Neighborhood parties FTW!). After trying multiple times to get the credit via Apple’s online web app, I decided it was time to take my iPhone back to AT&T and see what they could do for [...]
Update: Apple now says that I’ve had my phone replaced. Haha! How could my phone have been replaced when the IMEI number on my original receipt and the IMEI on my iPhone match? /boggle Apple says my iPhone isn’t eligible for the credit because I no longer own it. You see, Apple says I returned [...]
Travel day home… certainly the least favorite day of any vacation unless you’re a four year old boy who misses his toys. We woke up at 7am Hawaii time and I went to drop off the snorkel gear as Mommy got the kids ready for breakfast. Since we packed last night we only had a [...]
Today is our last full day on the Big Island. It also happens to be Autumn’s 11th birthday today. To celebrate Autumn and I went snorkeling at A’Bay early this morning. The water was a little murky but an abundance of turtles more than made up for it. While we were snorkeling Mommy and Aiden [...]
Today started slowly as we’re getting tired. I was up at 6am ready to snorkel but Autumn said she was too tired so we went back to bed. Aiden woke up not feeling well due to being hungry and not drinking enough fuilds. Around 10am he started feeling better so we started the trek to [...]
Lacking internet at the hotel now as I refuse to pay $11/day for crap, this will be a short post about today’s activities. Autumn and I got up at sunrise and snorkled Kahulu’u Beach Park before the crowds arrived. The water clarity was good and we spotted five different turtles feeding on the reef. The [...]
There wasn’t a lot of energy to be had yesterday. This is partly why I’m writing the days events a day late. The day started out with us visiting “Magic” Sands or White Sands Beach. Aiden really want to play in “normal” sand, you know the kind, it sticks to you everywhere. Typically the sand [...]
Keikei Club. Krista and I decided we needed a true vacation day i.e. a day without kids while on vacation. So, thankfully, the Sheraton runs a “keikei” club for kids. The price isn’t “cheap” but it was totally worth it to be able to have a free day without kids. It felt a little strange [...]
