Hangin' with the D'Andreas!

Didn't end up gettig any really great pics of Dylan and many of my shots were blurred and noisy because the D'Andrea house is a cool, dark, cave-like home ;)

Anyway, here are some of my favorites:

Day 2 -- images of Baltimore's Inner Harbor & National Aquarium

When we arrived in Bmore we hit the Inner Harbor area and checked out the National Aquarium. My parents used to take me to the National Aquarium about once a year when I was a kid, when my family lived in the area prior to moving to FL, and I was anxious to see it again probably 18 years since I'd last been. It's still fantastic, though not surprisingly it didn't seem quite as cavernously huge! Tip: if you're ever in Bmore doing touristy stuff, definitely check out the "4D" movie at the National Aquarium, it's awesome!

Here are some Bmore shots:

Day 1 of the road trip -- images of Philly!

We FINALLY got out of NYC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On July 23rd we packed up the car and drove 2 hours from NYC to Philly.

To kick the trip off we visited Ben and Mindy in Philly to congratulate them on getting engaged and to thank them for taking us to Steamboat Springs, CO a few weeks earlier! Here are some images of the city from when Carson and I just wandered the hood.

In addition to just wandering around we of course hung out with Ben and Mindy. We made it through a seriously biblical thunderstorm and had an awesome dinner and some great drinks on this night. Somehow all pics of us with Ben and Mindy seem to be missing, I'll try to find those pics and I'll post them when I get a chance.

What we did right before leaving NYC...

Among other things, such as packing...

We said goodbye to all our NYC friends.








We suffered a Mac attack.



We said goodbye to the Project Essex crew.





We saw 4 Tet play in the WTC for a bit, but more importantly had dinner after wards at one of our favorite spots, Petite Abeille (we also ate at our other local favorite, Max, before leaving).



I poked around NYC and shot pics, as always.











Caught a few minutes of Steel Pulse at a River to River event for some Reggae.



Got a tattoo!





Went to a Bearfoot concert (bluegrass!) on Governor's Island.



We drank the excellent champagne Tam gave us for our engagement. Thanks Tam, we miss you and Al!




We cashed in all our saved up change!




We also hit up MOMA and The Brooklyn Museum of Art, went to the MLB All-Star Parade, and did a series of photos of most of the MLB All-Star "Statues of Liberty on Parade" but just haven't had time yet to go through the photos, clean 'em up, and post them. But they'll make it eventually.

Finally, I smeared some light around.



Goodbye Apartment 11G!!!!!!
