Another attempt at some lightning

That night, my window was open to let in the breeze but the storm was so loud, I woke up and almost had a heart attack... well... no... just completely disoriented. Then I saw the flashes and at 2:30am, I grabbed my camera and tried to shoot a picture, rather groggily. I missed all the really good stuff, like the thick bright ones that went straight to the lake because it took me too long to figure out what was going on. I got some good lightning action... unfortunately, it's out of focus!!!!

Orlando (again)

So I've been going to a lot of trainings and they fully book us from 8am - 10pm not including the networking "opportunities" that seem to arise beyond that time frame... anyways, for the latest one I went to (yes, back in Orlando), there was an event at Universal Studios and they closed the park and let us on two free rides! There was also free club night so that was neat. I got my HRC guitar pin too!

Here's one for the blog...

Breckenridge, Colorado

A relaxing yet fun-filled Labour Day weekend in Colorado. We drove to Breckenridge from Denver, thanks to JJ's brother's Subaru Forester. We went through Loveland Pass and got to stand on the Continental Divide, where the precipitation will drain into the Atlantic or the Pacific depending on which side of the Divide it falls on. We saw some Bighorn Sheep along the highway and got to climb to over 12,000 feet (up Peak 8 of Breckenridge Ski Resort). We ate some amazing meals: unlimited riblets at Applebee's; duck breast and pork medallions (extreme!) at Top of the World restaurant; surprisingly good Bubba Gump shrimp; and ended the trip with a whole lotta pho. Had an awesome weekend even though we didn't end up whitewater rafting. It was so much fun; thanks honey :)
