A Blast from the Past - House on the Rock '95
Excluding my huge'90's glasses, my thin to the point of alopecia beard and my patented "this gray sweatshirt makes my belly look flat" method of dress, this is a swell picture.
This was taken on May 24th, 1995 at the House on the Rock in Spring Green, Wisconsin. It was my first visit to the place, but Lisa was a veteran and had recommended it, and good on her - I loved it.
It was on this trip that I bought her a lovely glass paperweight that still resides in our home today.
Note also my red winter jacket, which Lisa had absconded from me. I ordered that from a glossy advertisement in the Sunday paper, and gladly paid extra for my name to be embroidered on the chest. It was a different time, what can I say?

Boxing Day 2011 - House on the Rock
We spent the day at House on the Rock yesterday, putting the new GPS to good use. It was a blast, and the kids chose to melt down only at the end, leading to an embarrassing gift shop incident but wth, we were two minutes from the exit anyhow. As our family circle continues to shrink, maybe we'll treat this Christmas as the new tradition: breakfast and a movie on the 25th, and a trip somewhere on Boxing Day.
