March Break

Just back from a week in Myrtle Beach. The weather was fantastic and it was nice to feel the warmth of the sun.

A few observations about Myrtle Beach:

  • There are tons of places to stay at very reasonable prices. You can usually find a place with kitchen/living room/bedroom configuration that is on the water, or close to it.
  • Many good restaurants, although we tend to steer clear of the over priced buffets. We did find a really nice one on the water with a fantastic $5 lunch menu. Yes, we did see flying fish while waiting for our lunch.
  • The pool water was ideal and the beach water was a little cold for my liking–although we did see people in swimming!
  • More than enough stuff to keep you busy for the week. The boys really liked the Nascar go carts and were able to get their fill of speed driving. Being off season it was very quiet with no long line-ups.

We broke up the drive into 2 days so we did not go completely stir crazy in the car. We are looking forward to going back sometime and would recommend Myrtle Beach as a vacation spot!

Update

Wow, I have not updated here for a year! Not that I don’t care about writing, but I have been doing weekly update over at my other blog.

Tons of stuff happening lately, especially on the job front and traveling across Ontario. Getting geared up right now for a number of fundraising bike rides across Ontario to support our Bible Translation work. There are some great people that get involved in this project and I appreciate getting to spend time with passionate athletes from across the province!

Summer 2010

Hard to believe that the summer is over and we are now well into the fall schedule. Amazing how quickly time passes by! Our family had a great summer. It did seem like we traveled a fair amount and put a few km’s on the van!

I put together a few of my favourite pictures from the summer and they highlight some of the things we did.

Museum of Nature

Tonight I took the boys down to the Museum of Nature to get them out of the house for a while.  Thankfully it was nice and cool at the Museum. Some of you might know that this museum just underwent a bit of a face lift. There are some great hand-on exhibits and stuff for people of all ages. On Thursdays, most museums in Ottawa are free after 5 pm, so it was the perfect night to go!

Here is a little video that I put together from this little excursion.
