Capturing the beauty of the world, one adventure at a time.
Victoria, BC Canada - Day 10
Due to some rough seas and almost a full sea day our final stop was in Victoria, B.C. for a few hours right around sunset. Because we didn’t have much time and the port was so far away from the city we decided to just jump on a bus and ride in for a quick walk around the downtown area. There are some pretty interesting buildings right near where they dropped us off and a beautiful overlook of the harbor.
Ketchikan, AK - Day 9
Due to the distance between Ketchikan and our next port in Victoria we didn’t get to spend a lot of time in Ketchikan as we’d like, but we made the best of it. Upon coming into port there were several seaplanes coming in alongside the ship which was great to see. We decided to catch the lumberjack show which is really entertaining and then spend the rest of our time walking around the small port town and grab a bite to eat.
Licensed Drone Pilot
On the March 30th I embarked on something that I have been planning for several months. The day started fairly early as I had to drive to Winnsboro, SC which is about hour and fifteen minutes from my house to a small little airport to take my first FAA exam to obtain my PART 107 UAS license.
4th week of Crossfit
Last Monday I finally reached my fourth week of Crossfit and the end of the "Ramping" process and the beginning of just diving right in with the rest of the group at 6:30 PM. Monday I wasn't able to go due to feeling under the weather, but I did feel good enough to go on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday.
3rd week of Crossfit
Unfortunately, my third week was pretty short due to some other engagements I had. During the third week, I went Monday and Tuesday completing a WOD each day that would consist of focusing on one core fundamental move used while doing Crossfit.
Pearl Jam - Charlotte, NC
I was lucky enough to score a ticket to see Pearl Jam in October which was my first time seeing them and a decade after the last time they played here in Charlotte. This was such an amazing show to experience LIVE! If you ever have an opportunity to see them just GO!
2nd week of Crossfit
I finished my second week of Crossfit last Friday around 7:15 PM. Unlike the previous days, this day was different. I was worn out, extremely sore and quite beat up and loved every minute of it. I learned a few things this day that I will not be repeating though.
1st week of Crossfit
Last week two things happened that has never happened to me before. First I turned 30 and second I completed my first WOD at a local Crossfit box called Indian Trail Crossfit. The first thing all through a milestone was was small potatoes compared to what I was about to embark on for the next month or longer.
Save a life... Adopt
Well, thought I would take some time and tell the story about my new found friend. On Dec. 23rd Holly and I decided to hit up the local shelters just to see what may be out there. I have been looking around for a dog for a few month’s now, but I wanted to make sure I made the right decision before jumping into something.
