Timmy & Dave in Ireland

My brother has been taking classes in the south of France this spring and we talked a few weeks ago about taking a trip together while he’s still in school. It turns out that one of our favorite bands, Dave Matthews Band, will be touring in Dublin, Ireland next month around the time that I was planning to come visit him. He just bought some tickets for the concert and it’s all set. I can’t believe we’re gonna be there in Ireland watching him perform. With any luck, Timmy Reynolds will be there too.

More updates as they develop…we’re totally shooting this thing from the hip. Hell, I haven’t even gotten my Tourist Passport yet.

Update: It’s May 9th and I still don’t have my Tourist Passport yet. I paid the expedited fee but still, no love. Anyways, I may not be going on this trip until the beginning of June. Fingers are crossed.

Photos from the Gorge

After my deployment to Iraq I decided to go on vacation to my favorite spot, The Red River Gorge, with Lily and my family. We drove down to Kentucky for the weekend and had a great time climbing and hiking. The weather held up too, with temperatures approaching the 80’s.

We’ll be driving back to Baltimore on the 26th so we can catch our flight back to Hawaii. I REALLLLLLYYYYY miss my motorcycle!

My Trip to Centcom

While we were waiting for our flight from Qatar to Amsterdam, we helped some of our Armory friends clean some of the weapons in their arsenal. After cleaning about 80 weapons, we decided to take a photo-op and this is just one example of the many photos we took with the weapons. Take a peek in the gallery.
