After finally arriving at Brenda’s house, we went to run some errands and then ended the night with a delicious steak dinner at Logan’s Roadhouse. It’s good to be visiting my friend in Austin again.

My long drive today from Albuquerque, NM to Cedar Park, TX, just outside of Austin.

Ran Into Bugs While Taking A Left At Albuquerque
Had dinner at the kitchen table at Buca di Beppo’s in Albuquerque before spending the night in the Marriott in preparation for tomorrow’s long trip into the heart of Texas. Cedar Park, just outside of Austin, to be exact.

Final Practice Lunch
Had one last lunch at my brother’s office before packing and heading out for Albuquerque later this afternoon. There we will stay in a hotel overnight so my mom can fly out easier the next day and I can shave about an hour off my drive to Austin.

Deer Me
Finally got the deer photos I was hoping for this whole time in Los Alamos. Spotted one this morning, then saw two more while I was waiting to get closer. I patiently tracked them from our yard to the neighbor’s for about half an hour and eventually two of them started walking toward me. And …

Band Campy
Went to Sopahn’s middle school band concert with my mom, Tommy, Alex and Sopahn’s mom, Marvel. They did renditions of Star Wars, the Peter Gunn theme, a mash-up of Queen songs and Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture.

Canyon Bridge Doesn’t Span Canyon
Took my mom to walk the Canyon Rim Trail bridge that was recently finished here in Los Alamos. Bit disappointed to find out that it hugs the canyon wall and doesn’t cross the canyon itself. It was a nice walk but not nearly as dramatic as I was hoping it would be.

Los Alamos Cemetery Photo Romp
Met Stephanie early in the morning at a local cemetery for a photo walk amongst all the oh-so-personal gravestones with their various designs and data. Only problem was that there was not a single gravestone. All memorials were flat grave markers which makes moody, black and white, depth of field shots pretty difficult to get. …

Trip: Day Five | Los Alamos: Day Three
Today was filled with lots of driving around town. Picking up, meeting, dropping off, searching, eating, gassing (not from eating) and photographing the entire process.

Today In Los Alamos History
Today I visited Tommy’s office, went shopping for groceries with my mom, picked up Tommy’s dogs from Marvel’s house, took pictures of trees in the wind and had an early birthday dinner for my mom at Marvel’s house. Full day of not much until dinner.

Three For Thor
Went to see Thor with my brother and nephew. Really enjoyed it. Kenneth Branagh did an excellent job making the myths seem believable.

Breaking Fast With My Nephew
After his morning of seeing doctors and lab techs, I took Alex to have a good old-fashioned American breakfast at Viola’s Place here in Los Alamos.

Medical Morning
Took Alex first to his orthodontist for some braces adjustments and then to the clinic to get his wrist x-rayed to see if he fractured it in a fall yesterday. Doesn’t look like he did.

Leg Two
Second day of travel, this time heading to our first destination stay in Los Alamos. Crossed into New Mexico just before 11:00 local time, stopping in Gallup for gas and bladder evacuation. (Did you want to say something, Lisa?) Arrived in Albuquerque at 1:00 and drove north for about an hour to see Alex play …

So It Begins
Headed out this morning for the first leg of my two and a half week trip to New Mexico and Texas. We hit Arizona at 12:30, stopping in Yuma for a pee break. Stopped again in a 100˚ Gila Bend to fill up and another pee stop. Passed through Phoenix and Flagstaff before finally arriving …
