On the Hunt for a Christmas Tree


















Paris Canyon --
Thanksgiving Weekend 2006
Murphy was about 5 months old in this photo and wants nothing to do with it. This was his first snow and didn't want to waste time in a photoshoot. We searched the mountain high and low and finally found our first Christmas tree; circa Charlie Brown style!

Before marrying Julianna, I had never been to Hawaii. I had walked the slums of India, climbed the highest mountain in Africa, rode camels in Mongolia, but had not been on a simple non-stop to Hawaii --to what I presumed was the worlds most over visited tourist attraction. Well...now I know. Kauai, in particular, is spectacular. As much as I love the mountains (coming from a land locked state) the ocean is always mesmerizing. On Kauai, you have both. Add an average temperature of 70 degrees all year long to create paradise. Julianna had it all planned out. In our rental Jeep, she took me all over the island. I still haven’t tried to surf but did body surf with a bunch of guys while several large sea turtles swam nearby. Julianna swam in between her "power reading" sessions. Who knows how many books she plowed through? Just waiting to go back!
