Great trip over the weekend. The Lakeshore Symphonic Band played the world premiere of the march they commissioned last year. Grace and I flew up and spent Saturday in Cedarburg, a beautifully quaint town in the throes of fall color. Crisp and brilliant, we browsed the shops on the main drag and met friends and family for dinner before the concert. The band played wonderfully and the piece was well received. Went to the AleHouse in Grafton for an after-concert celebration. Unfortunately we forgot to take pictures of any of this… oops. However, hope you enjoy the family pics of the rest of our trip!
Just returned from a fascinating trip through the Great American Midwest. We have now officially done South Dakota - been there, done that, got the cheap stamped brass Christmas ornament (we collect those). It’s funny how the journeys Grace and I take always seem to take on a theme of some kind. Something random happens and then we keep seeing related things again and again over the course of the trip…
We flew into Omaha and rented a nice Honda Odyssey van, picked up Dad & June and headed north; first to Sioux Falls and then straight west across the state to Deadwood. Dad popped in a Roger Miller CD along the way and we enjoyed the music, especially his goofy-yet-philosophical “You Can’t Roller Skate in a Buffalo Herd“. Little did we know that not only would we hear the tune again playing in the streets of Deadwood, but that we’d actually be *in* a buffalo herd less than 24 hours later!
Had some fun with my video editing software this weekend. Here’s a rockin’ fast-paced look at CJ & Carly’s wedding week in Vegas. I haven’t figured out how to letterbox the video on YouTube, so the aspect ratio is skewed.
