2010 Road Trip Washington to California

I was offered the chance at a nearly all expense paid vacation and jumped at it! It isn’t often that you get to go on a trip like this. Granted, it was nothing fancy like flying to Europe to stay in a castle, but for me, this was an amazing[…]

Avatar Review

Over the new years weekend of 2009 I had the opportunity to see the blockbuster movie Avatar. I had heard it was fantastic with the most amazing special effects. What I didn’t know, is that in addition to amazing effects, it had a powerful and compelling story line. The combination[…]
