Going Off the Grid in the Olympic Peninsula

My wife and I headed up to the Olympic Peninsula last weekend to get away and reset.  Nothing says unplugging like enjoying our national parks, walking through forests and seeing trees that were already hundreds of years old by the time our country was founded.

Hanging Out in Joshua Tree

I imagine that photography is a little like searching for the perfect wave.  I can go out some days and get a great picture on the first try and then on other days it just seems like I can't find anything interesting to look at or pictures don't turn out like I had hoped.  Joshua Tree is one of the most picturesque places on earth so I figured this would be like an epic surf session.

Italian Adventure

 Earlier this year we were talking with some friends and hatched this wild idea to go to Italy to watch the Cycling World Championships in Florence.  This somewhat joking idea turned into a full-fledged vacation with multiple cities, planned stops as well as some delightful unplanned surprises.  We took off with a hole in the middle of the trip where we were going to "just look for a place in Tuscany" as we drive from Cinque Terre to Rome.
