road trip

well, my buddy chuck and i are off for mt rushmore.. there and back in 4 days.. yes, our behinds will probably hurt when we get back (actually, by tomorrow night i'm sure they'll be tender)

pray for us while we're out having a good time on the motorcycles.. they can be dangerous

love to all

in the city

woo.. summer in the city... love it... here are a few more pix.. sorry some are sideways..

summer time

well, mary and i have had quite a summer so far... we started it off with our 6 year anniversary, which we spent in the obx with my family... it was wild, we had i think 24 peopleincluding kids (7 kids under the age of 7)

we were able to spend some time with my family and our friends the furry's.. a ton of body boarding, card playing and plenty of eating..

on july 3rd, mary and i went downtown to the taste of chicago and enjoyed some of chicago's great food... sweet baby ray's bbq sauce had their own stand, it was GREAT!! i love me some sweet baby rays.. after spending enough money for more than enough food, we went down and saw a movie to pass time before the fireworks. we spent the last few hours at navy pier eating more and watching the fire works. we had a great time doing the "city thing" to celebrate the independence of our country.
