Cape Cod Trip

A little while back Ashley and I got a chance to go stay down on Cape Cod. We went down on a Thursday night and stayed in the town of Brewster. We spent Friday down in Falmouth/Woods Hole and visited the aquarium where our good friend Keith Love was interning for part of the summer. We then took an evening ferry over to Martha's Vineyard and explored the towns of Vineyard Haven and Oaks Bluff. Lots of cool shops and restaurants. Saturday we went to the beach in the morning and then rented a sail boat for the afternoon. It had been a while since I had done any sailing so needless to say the first half an hour on our BeetleCat were a little scary. Once I got the hang of it we were cruising but a stiff wind and choppy water made for a stressful outing. We spent our Sunday closer to the tip of the cape in a town called Wellfleet. I rented a surf board and surfed most of the day while enjoying the beach and the great dunes on the Atlantic coast. A great weekend and we got to pretty much see it all.

NASCAR Visit

Brad, Wells and I had the opportunity to do an appearance at a NASCAR practice in New Hampshire. We got to tour the pits, the garages and had front row seats to the Sprint Cup qualifying. We got to meet a couple of the drivers including Denny Hamlin, a Richmond product and graduate of Manchester high school.

July 4th and Hollywood

This is really late.. hmm... Well we went out to LA for a game on July 4th. What a great time. I got to see some of my cousins, Carey Vogel and his family, and some of Ashley's family. I scored 2 goals in the game and got to spend the weekend checking out LA, Malibu, Santa Monica, Manhattan Beach, and then we stayed at the Roosevelt hotel in Hollywood. Matt Reis warned us of Hollywood, naming it Hollywierd. We experienced that as a man dressed in a Spiderman suit sprinted passed us down the sidewalk, jumped and clung to a street light pole while tourists took pictures. Contrast that with our celebrity hot spot bar in the lobby of our hotel where we saw Matthew Perry and Tara Reid.

Summertime Fishin

Just a couple pics of Ash and I out on the boat with Wells Thompson doin a little bass fishing. Wells lives with a host family in Wrentham, Ma right on lake Pearl. We have been out quite a few times this summer to swim, fish and enjoy the sun.

Toe Shot

I got a shot of synvisc (joint lubricant) on Tuesday. They simultaneously x-ray my foot and inject the medicine by inserting the needle directly into the joint space. Hopefully after this and two weeks of rest my toe will be closer to feeling good again.

Kebobs!!

Still loving getting to use our grill.

The new golf pro

Ashley decided to start her journey to become a golf pro.

Victor Von vic (The new Volvo)

Recently I had to part with my 94 Volvo 850, but I didn't stray far. I got a certified used 2005 Volvo S80 with 32,000 miles. Its extremely comfortable and drives great.

Check out our Grillz

This past week we got a grill as a house warming present from Adam's parents. We wasted zero time in using it immediately cooking some grilled chicken for a salad. Also last night we cooked Mako Shark which was pretty tasty, a mix between tuna steaks and swordfish. Delicious!

Apartment Update

Well after the video tour of our place here are a few more photos of the first level with our furniture. We are still waiting on our dining room table that seems like it will never come.
