Hoover Dam

Wow. Hoover Dam is an amazing engineering marvel even by todays standards. It stands over 700 feet tall and makes you dizzy when you look over the edge. :-) I had never been to Hoover Dam before and since it was on our way to Sedona we had to stop. It is located about thiry five minutesw outside of Vegas so next time your at the casinos and want to take a breather I recomend getting out of town for a couple of hours and checking it out.

We are off to Sedona to see our friends at LaCour!

The trip begins...

I meant to post this last week but the thunderstorm that rolled through Sedona, knocked our Internet out for a couple of days. But we are in the middle of a whirlwind trip to Sedona, Las Vegas and Vancouver.

Sedona is absolutely beautiful. Arizona is always a beautiful place to visit but this is the first time Jenn and I have spent some time in Sedona. The red rock landscape out here is a photographers dream. We got so caught up working on business stuff with our friends that we neglected to take advantage of all the hiking and outdoor activities Sedona had to offer. Of course that just makes us want to head out there again! Thanks to Rachel, Andrew, Mark and Erin for their hospitality and generosity in having us come out and spend some time with them in Sedona. This was the view outside the patio.

Well Back to work for now, but I will post some pics and fun stuff in Las Vegas shortly...

A DOG'S (lake) LIFE

The pups are adjusting to lake life pretty darn well -now that the weather is getting warmer! It only took a couple days for them to decide to brave the lake. Foto is taking it slow and just wading but Fiona is doing her best to doggy paddle - mostly she treads water and Adam and I hope we don't have to jump in and save her!

They have definitely taken to the relaxing side of lake life too! While Fiona prefers lounging on the hammock, Foto can be found sipping a cool one out by the grill! We have been working hard on their training!

As it is getting warmer it certainly reminds us why on earth we chose to live way up here. It's great to look out at the lake everyday and we are looking forward to being able to use it! We still wish we were a bit closer to friends and a social life in Atlanta - but we also can't complain! The nice part is that summer at the lake usually brings more visitors our way - we can't wait!

We hope warm weather is shining down on you - wherever you are and we look forward to sharing a cool one with you by the lake in the months ahead - especially Foto!

Our Trip to DC

We had a great trip to DC to see family and celebrate my first 29th birthday this February! We spent a week in the capital and had a great time with friends and family!
It went by way too fast!
Here are some highlights! The puppies met their huge cousin JACK, I was pampered with all the girls (mom, Kim & Brit) at a spa day where we had mani-pedis, facials, lunch and massages! I could so do that once a week..... Adam went with the boys to a Capitals Hockey game, we saw Steve & Natalie and finally met their adorable PUGS, I went MATERNITY clothes shopping, my "HOLLYWOOD" bag from Sarah arrived, I had a great Bday party at my favorite Seafood restaurant in DC AND enjoyed a Disney Princess ice cream cake that my niece Morgan helped me pick out.
The time with my niece, nephews, siblings,Memee and folks was awesome - I miss them constantly and don't get to see them often enough!
