The Vacation--The Movie...

This picture is the opening shot of a little video I assembled this evening to chronicle our little vacation. It's not the best video. I'm not a professional videographer, but the reason I do these videos is the same reason I keep this blog--for my kids.

Growing up I never got to know my dad like I would have liked and how I wish the technology had been in place where I could read his thoughts and re-live the times we would have spent together.

Of course, my target audience is very small so I apologize to the rest of you who may find these posts boring. Sorry about that. 

Sometimes I write interesting posts for the masses. I guess this one's for us.

Here's the link to the YouTube video: HERE. There's some good shots of beautiful places and people, if you're interested in that sort of thing... ;)

Kids On The Beach...

What is it about the beach, exactly, that captivates us? Why are we drawn to the sea, the rhythmic beat of water reaching land?

I certainly don't know, but I do know one thing. As much as we adults love the beach, kids love it even more. Today we were fortunate enough to reach the beach and my kids had a blast during the time we were there. My youngest had never before set foot on a beach or seen an ocean. He made the most of his first visit.

Here's a few pictures I took of my beautiful kids.

It was a great day.

Trolley Car!...A Short Video

Trolley Car!

I've seen them on TV and the movies all my life, nearly 50 years. Today I rode a San Francisco trolley car for the very first time.

Sure, it took a while for us to ride. That's fine to experience American history in person. Our family was the first to board so I got a seat in the front and took out the camera.

And thanks to Apple for updating iMovie (and adding several new movie trailer templates of which I cannot wait to try out...), I can bring you a new movie trailer. It's called Trolley Car! Enjoy!
