Bird House at the National Zoo

This past weekend I visited the National Zoo in Washington DC.  This video takes you on a tour of the “Bird House” area of the zoo, including a look at the Toucan, Peacock, Burrowing Owl, Parrot, and my favorite — the flamingos!

Yesterday I went to check out the Maryland State Fair 2009.  This video includes highlights of the fair — particularly cows, and the trained cow competition, the rides, and the food.  Check it out for some good old hometown fair fun!

Chris’ Cross Country Drive to DC – Day 4

Day #4 of my cross country drive. Starting out in Little Rock, Arkansas — home of Bill Clinton and his presidential spaceship….. err… I mean presidential library. Then on to Tennesee for some Memphis BBQ and the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville.

This is the home stretch… Day #5 coming soon!

Chris’ Cross Country Drive to DC – Day 3

My third day on the road… Started in Amarillo, TX.. a pretty civilized city, although there was the fragrant smell of animal poop in the air :) . Stopped at the best freewat rest stop ever in Texas — they even have Wi-fi at the rest stop! Now we can all use the toilet, and browse the net at the same time… all the comforts of home.

For dinner I stopped in Oklahoma for some BBQ at Wild Horse Mountain BBQ — mmmm.

Chris’ Cross Country Drive to DC – Day 2

Day #2 on my cross country drive.  Starting off in Flagstaff Arizona — unlike Phoenix, where it was 115 degrees and my shoes were melting, Flagstaff has pine trees and was only 80 degrees.  I almost got eaten by dinosaurs, and chowed on some great Tex-Mex in Albequerque.

Chris’ Cross Country Drive to DC – Day 1

Earlier this month I packed up all my stuff in my car, and like a travelling nomad took the journey across this great country of ours.  I drove from San Diego, CA to Washington DC in 5 days — all with only 1 speeding ticket.

Day #1 is San Diego, CA to Flagstaff, AZ.

Washington DC Cherry Blossoms

Washington Monument with Cherry Blossoms

Last week I was out in Washington DC to see the Cherry Blossoms once again. I’ve been in DC for the cherry blossoms the past three years in a row and it’s always cool to see.

This time I was there to see the Cherry Blossoms pre-peak-bloom and then again at peak-bloom time. Pretty cool to see the transformation. Take a look at the video and see yourself.
