So I know its been a while since I posted. I have a lot of things to update too - new camera, new grill, new little girl (we're having a girl!)... but for the time being I'll update you on my past week. I had to go to Portland on business, but I went out a couple days early. That means I had to leave my bug for 5 days! I guess while I was gone she made up this story about how Daddy went to the moon and was working way up high in the sky. I took a hot air balloon to get there apparently (so says Ella). So I thought it was pretty awesome that I got the following pictures while I was there to corroborate her story! And yes, we were actually above the clouds at ~9,000 feet - it's not a camera trick.







Those were taken with my new camera (Canon 1D Mark II) and my new lens (Canon 70-200/2.8). I never knew until I got them how easily you can fit a car in the palm of your hand (I sold my Xterra to buy them).

Here's one action shot I got while I was there. My co-worker, Sue, was nice enough to let me stay with her and it was her idea to go up to Timberline Lodge on Mt. Hood. They have the longest ski season around, which I totally believe since these were taken on June 14th. That's insane!
