Kim and I were in San Antonio for my Grandfather’s funeral last weekend. It was a sad weekend, of course, but it was nice to see my family so much.

On Sunday morning, my parents were going over some stuff with my Grandma, so Kim and I took the morning and went to downtown San Antonio. We visited several historical sites, including a cathedral built by the Spanish missionaries in the 1700’s, and the Alamo, a famous battle site in Texas history.

We also went to the Riverwalk area, where we walked around a bit, and kim enjoyed some Texas Style BBQ ribs.

Whale Sharks

This was a literal bucket list item for me, to swim with whale sharks. I’ve been thinking about it for decades. It was incredible. Hard to capture the size of these sharks. These are juvenile, but whale sharks are the largest fish around. These were

An absolutely amazing trip. In early December I made the long drive to Cabo San Lucas, stopping just for gas, food, and sleep. Left the van at a storage place and flew home. After going to Texas for Christmas, we flew from there back to
