Flushing Meadows Panorama

2016-11-24T12:45:32-04:00

Brooklyn Panoramas

2011-01-14T00:57:19-04:00

We managed to see a great bit of Brooklyn - heading out to the Brooklyn Bridge, Coney Island and the base of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. It's amazing to see how large and diverse Brooklyn is in comparison to Manhattan. [link-gallery gallery="Ne_theBigApple" name="The Big Apple"]

2011-01-12T12:32:17-04:00

Went down to Charleston for the weekend to participate in the Cooper River Bridge Run. We walked the 10k road race, finishing it in just under 2 hours. At that pace however, 90% of the participants finished before we did. Oh, well.... [view-the-gallery galleryaddress="BridgeRun09"]
