Happy Birthday Mike

We celebrated the fifth of July, i.e. Mike's Birthday in grand style, with cake and candles, homemade ice cream, and of course fireworks. It was a bunch of fun and a great day.

Is it official if it doesn't make a blog

Or facebook or twitter? Anyways we found out today that we will be expecting a Baby Boy in December, yeah we knew the whole December part for a couple months but are excited about the Boy part. Becky is doing well and seems to have more energy now that the first trimester is over, here's to continuing on the path of wellness.

Delaware Beaches

We relaxed and spent some time on the beach in Rehoboth, it was so nice and we had a great time, chilling under the 1970's brown vinyl umbrella. It was easy finding our spot on the beach. It was so nice sitting and listening to waves and watching all the people.

We originally were going to get bikes for a couple hours, that turned out to be a couple days. The little shop was so laid back they didn't even require a pre-pay or anything and then only charged us a day, highly miss such a trusting business and glad to see that there is still that attitude in America. Highly recommend heading to 1st and Maryland if you ever end up there.

Of course we had a bunch of food, including pizza, hamburgers and sandwiches. Even managed to fit some seafood, funnel cake and Bacon Ice Cream in somehow.

Washington DC Trip

This is my first video ever, I don't really feel like redoing it right now so here is the first final video with half the song over the pictures.....it's a learning curve! We had a blast, ran a ton, saw a bunch, and really enjoyed ourselves.

Scale the Strat

Becky was inspired by her Half-marathon training to switch over to stair climbing and prepare for the "Scale the Strat" event. It's an event and fundraiser for the Southern Nevada Lung Association; which she decided to do in honor of her Uncle Larry who passed away in December from Lung Cancer. Thanks to many different pledges she by far exceeded her goal and made it to the top on one peice.
108 floors, 1455 stairs, 1 elevator ride down

After winding up all those stairs she was a little dizzy and the change in elevation didn't help any.

Fully recovered and ready to go.....down.

NASCAR Race

We were able to go to the race with some friends, it was well worth the trip, we had great seats and felt that we were going to have a great day, the only thing forgotten was earplugs. We thought we could do without but it wasn't five laps into it that Becky went to get something to save our hearing.

Its' a beautiful smell when you combine tires and racing fuel, one thing we weren't expecting is all of the tire debris that was on our skin and in our hair. The race was excellent and very exciting to the end.

Scavenger Hunt #2

One of the funniest things was peoples reactions to what you were doing, these guys thought it was pretty cool we wanted a picture with them, we thought it was cool they had a "souvenier cup" that was shaped like a guitar


My best street performer statue impersonation

This guy was a real help he kept pulling hats out of his bag for each of us, then put his bird on our shoulder, it wasn't until after dinner that someone realized the bird left me a tip on my shirt, thanks Polly!

If there aren't beads it's not a party

Friends B-day Scavenger Hunt

One of our friends had a scavenger hunt on the Strip for her Birthday hunt, the contestants were divided into teams and then had to find items on the list, some were easy, some were hard and some just couldn't be found at all


"ugly carpet"

"gold statue"

"dance floor" i.e. the Beatles entry
