Well it’s been a while since I’ve blogged, mostly because I’ve been extremely busy with work. 2006 has definitely hit hard and I’ve spent most of it on the road so far. I’ve hit up Sarasota, Miami, New Jersey, Denver, and most recently Seattle. …yea, I think that’s it.

So what do you do when you’ve been away for a while? Take a nice night out. :-) Stacey got all dolled up and we went out to the Kinzie Chophouse for some quality steak. It was a great time. And what better to do after a full meal and a glass of red wine…pass out.

Seattle was pretty cool - definitely a nice landscape. The best part was on the way back to the airport when Mt. Rainier pretty much raised out of the mist - all 14,410 feet seemed to appear out of nowhere. It was truly amazing and makes me look forward to warmer weather when I can get out and do some camping and hiking again. Flying out of Seattle was quite scenic as well - the route took us over a portion of the Rocky Mountains that I had never really seen before. Stuff like that makes all the travel worth it, but it’s definitely not something I could do for the rest of my life.
