Omaha Trip in June 06


I made my first of many trips to Omaha in May to visit Erik at his permanent base. Here we are at Johnny's Cafe, a steak restaurant operating out of an old theater. Yes, since I was in Nebraska, I did eat some real Omaha corn-fed red meat beef...the first red meat I've had in months! Posted by Picasa

Pictures from My Trip to Albuquerque


Erik and I met up in Albuquerque in March. Our first morning together, we awoke to a fresh snowfall. I absolutely fell in love with Albuquerque during the week that we were there. Posted by Picasa

Toward the end of the week, Erik and I took a side trip up to Pagosa Springs, Colorado. This hot springs resort was absolutely beautiful, with pools of varying temperatures spread out along the hillside. Yup, there we are outside in swimwear with snow on the ground! Posted by Picasa

Robyn and I Do Savannah


My good friend Robyn and I took a weekend trip to Savannah in February. Like proper southern ladies, we took a trolley ride through the city in the pouring rain before we decided to hit the bars that night! And, holy cow, Savannah has quite a night life! Posted by Picasa

We picked out this hotel right off of the river front! The place was so cool. It was over 100 years old, the hallways were a maze, and we were sure the place was freaking haunted! Posted by Picasa

The room had an awesome view of one of the main streets of Savannah. Posted by Picasa

Erik's First Visit to Charleston


Erik was able to visit me in Charleston for the holidays. We met some of my buddies at a restaurant on Shem Creek for New Years. Note the palmetto in the background! Posted by Picasa

Erik took to my new kitchen like a duck in water! Posted by Picasa

Wendy at the Grand Canyon


I stopped by the Grand Canyon during the cross country drive to move to Charleston, SC. I loved the high-altitude buzz! Posted by Picasa
