Carter was lucky enough to have a whole day to spend with Granny. It started at Mommy’s favorite restaurant, Spice. We then went to The American Museum of Natural History and enjoyed looking around and pulling on mommy’s hair. It was a wonderful day and you can see the pictures here.

Carter World Tour 2009 – Uncle David Gallery
After hosting us in their Cabin all weekend, Uncle David and Aunt Trina were kind enough to host us at their house for a night. I think Carter enjoyed it most of all. Pictures here, guaranteed to be Mercury-free.
Carter World Tour 2009 – The Cabin
Uncle David & Aunt Trina were nice enough to host Carter and family in their vacation home in the Catskills. It was absolutely beautiful there. Everyone really enjoyed Carter, and his cousins Aiden and Bryce. Carter also really enjoyed meeting the Palumbo family and the big party that was thrown for him. Enjoy the pictures of our great weekend here.
Carter World Tour 2009 – Gov’na & Market Diner Galleries
Carter had one more person to meet, The Gov’na (aka granddad). After meeting, the five of us went to The Market Diner for a great dinner and some libations, enjoy the pictures. Carter was a trooper throughout the long day and eventually crashed.
Carter World Tour 2009 – Laura Gallery
Even though the point of the trip was for Carter to meet the Douglas’, Honigs and the Palumbos, a Benedict did sneak into New York so Carter got to meet Laura, his cousin once removed. Appropriate for a New York rendezvous, they first met at Grand Central Station, then everyone went to Chevy’s for drinks. You can see it all here.
Carter World Tour 2009 – Lorraine Gallery
Carter had the opportunity to meet his Great Aunt Lorraine. Just getting there was an adventure in and of itself, because it was Carter’s first ride in a taxi and his first train ride! We had a very nice visit. Carter got a lot of toys, then went to a very nice Chinese lunch, and then went clothes shopping. Finally, we got some professional photographs taken (sorry, not print-quality). It was a very nice visit!
Carter World Tour 2009 – NYC Arrival Gallery
Carter traveled very well, as I stated in other posts. He handled the airports, airplanes, and car service very well. You can now see this for yourself.
Labor Day weekend
My parents came up for a very nice visit on Labor Day weekend. They helped us with some projects around the house, took us to the dog park, took out a kayak, watched me sail, and supported me in my triathlon efforts. My dad’s pictures are up here
Mid-Ohio 2008
I was a bit slow in blogging this, but on June 28th I went to Mid-Ohio to watch vintage car racing. Even better, I was joined by just about my whole family! I had previously seen vintage races with my dad (including a great trip to Laguna Seca for the Monterey Historic races and the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in 2002). I also been to Mid-Ohio and Watkins Glen with my Uncle Tom. This was unique in that it was the first time I got to share it with my mom, as well as my Uncle Bob, Aunt Margot, and cousin Laura. As if that wasn’t enough, I also got to go camping with my brother Marc, his wife Shannon, and dog Tius! It was a great weekend, the downpour we got caught in did not damper my spirits.
European Vacation
Kathy and I took a wonderful trip a month ago. We cruised from Amsterdam to Copenhagen and then to Oslo. We then did took the Nutshell tour of Norway. I hope to fill in more details about the trip soon, but for now please enjoy the picture gallery.
