But that didn't stop me from snapping plenty of shots. And no, I'm not even gonna try to caption these photos. Enjoy them as-is. Besides, a picture speaks a thousand words, right? Then this album should be speaking 70,000 words!Jacksonville-area Lighthouses, March 10, 20017 PhotosA weekend lighthouse sightseeing trip with my parents.California, May 10-13, 200171 PhotosYet another trip to visit relatives in southern California. This time was to see my cousin's new baby, Jarin—her second child.Carolinas Sightseeing, June 30-July 6, 2001121 PhotosPhotos from my trip through the Carolinas—especially the outer banks. Captions are partially from a lighthouse book I bought during the trip, but mostly from memory, so feel free to correct me if you know I'm wrong about something. Besides lighthouses, we also visited Kitty Hawk where the Wright Brothers first flew and the USS North Carolina battleship.Pooling Around, Summer 20018 PhotosBefore I had my waterproof digital, some friends and I decided to fool around…er, excuse me, *pool* around with a waterproof disposable camera at my apartment pool, laughing at crazy faces and hair flying every direction while trying to keep our eyes open. This was the very first time I'd ever used a waterproof camera. Not bad, considering no one had goggles and we were all tired from a beach trip and using the pool to just clean off and relax. Washington/Oregon/South Dakota, September 9-19, 200118 PhotosMy third trip to Washington State was kind of weird. We arrived just a couple days after September 6—the day my nephew, Riley Alexander Bennett, was born. Of course, a few days after that was September 11, 2001. I remember being woken at 7 a.m. Pacific time by the secretary where I work to tell me about it. Well, we did our best to make the most of the vacation, and I still took a trip to Portland to visit a friend I'd only previously known online. Since we weren't having much luck with return flights, my parents and I drove all the way home in a one-way rental which turned out pretty nice since we got to stop at Mount Rushmore and Lincoln, Nebraska, where my good friend, Andy, lived at the time.powered by Justified Image Grid
