In 2008, I was fortunate enough to travel quite a bit. Rather than a typical “here’s what happened last year” post, I thought it would be fun to look back through my iPhone camera lens…
Chicago
I was in Chicago for WebTrends training as part of the job I started in late 2007. I love Chicago, and would like to visit in warmer weather. It could have at least snowed when I was there to make the cold more fun.
New York City
Genia and I went to New York to celebrate her 30th birthday. It was amazing, and I loved getting a few days with Genia apart from our daily routine. We need more long weekends like this! (Flickr set)
San Jose / Carmel-by-the-Sea / San Francisco
I visited San Jose for the Search Engine Strategies conference. My friend Wes happened to be there as well, and he had a car, so we took the opportunity to travel around in the evenings. We hit Carmel-by-the-Sea, a great little beach town, and San Francisco. Good times, plus, the Google Dance. (Flickr set)
Paw Paw, Illinois
Paw Paw is my dad’s hometown. I hadn’t been back in years, but we made a family trip there in September for a memorial service. While it was clearly a difficult trip to make, we had a good time with our extended family.
Charlottetown, PEI, Canada
Zap. What an experience!
Ellijay, Georgia
UnThanksgiving. Thanksgiving 2007 was incredibly emotional, in a positive way. Dad had just come home from a stem cell transplant at Vanderbilt, in full remission. None of us were prepared to do the usual Thanksgiving routine this year, so Genia and I took the girls to the woods and had a very relaxing (and distracting) unThanksgiving. (Facebook photos)
Now, who wants to be my patron so I can just travel around with the family in 2009?
