Going to take a trip up to Sturgeon Bay in Door County this weekend. Hoping to photograph some of the lighthouses that we didn’t get to see last time and check out some of the other sights.

Oh yeah, and while we’re up there, Lynne and I will be getting married! WooHoo!!

Sturgeon Bay is where I proposed to Lynne last fall. It’s also one of our favorite places, so we decided that was where we wanted to get married.  While coming home from our trip to California, we decided on the date, June 13.

So tomorrow afternoon at 4:00, Lynne and I will become husband and wife.

Talk to you guys when we get back on Tuesday.

Been doing some calculation on the amount of miles we drove on our trip. Wow! It’s no wonder we’re still tired.
The difference in the miles going out and coming back has to do with the detour Mother Nature made us take in WY.

Here’s the totals:

WI to CA……………. 2417 Miles
CA to WI…………… 2231 Miles

Total Miles…………… 4648 Miles
——————————————————-
Side Trips

Bishop Creek……….. 52 Miles
Twin Lakes…………… 206 Miles
Buttermilk /
Farmers Pond……….32 Miles
Rock Creek Lake…. 66 Miles
Round Valley……….. 30 Miles

Mt Rushmore/
Custer Park………… 103 Miles
Badlands Loop……  25 Miles

Total ST………………. 514 Miles
———————————————————

Total Miles………….. 5162 Miles

Here’s a link to the Google Map I put together showing our route. Basically it’s a giant figure eight with Cheyenne WY as the cross road. Each letter is a stopping point for the night.

Here are a few pictures from our trip.

The first one is of Pikes Peak in Colorado. Pikes Peak is over 14,000 feet and is a very intimidating mountain towering behind Colorado Springs.  The other three are from a sunrise shoot in the Buttermilk Hills. We met our SierraVisions friend Kahlee on Sunday for the Buttermilk shoot. And though the sunrise wasn’t the best, it was a pleasure to meet her and shoot some pictures with her.

Nothing much going on today. Just kicking back and enjoying a nice relaxing Sunday. It was weird this morning, we didn’t get out of bed till almost 9 and I felt like we were running late, like we needed to get on the road and put some miles behind us

Boy what a difference two weeks make. When we left on April 24 it was early spring here. The grass was getting green and a few flowers were blooming. Now it’s full blown spring. The grass needs mowed, the trees have leaves and many are blooming with flowers. There are flowers blooming in everyone’s yard and my nose is plugging up. Oh but the lake sure looked beautiful this morning.

I’ll start getting some pictures up this week. I’m not going to put them all up at once, but gradually post them a few at a time. I’ve yet to really look at them myself. Just scanned over them quickly on the laptop the other night.

Thanks to everyone who left comments while we were on the road. It was great to wake up in the morning and get a good laugh from you silly guys. It was fun putting up the tweets too. Not sure if I’m going to continue with Twitter or not. It worked out great for this trip, but otherwise it’s kind of boring.

Guess that’s all for now. Happy Mothers Day to all the moms out there and I’ll talk to you guys later.
