Baelo Claudia and Vejer de la Frontera

Baelo Claudia and Vejer de la Frontera

For our first family sightseeing trip in Spain we went to Baelo Claudia and to Vejer de la Frontera. Baelo Claudia is the site of an ancient Roman town that is dated to the 1st century BC. It is located about 15 miles or so from the Spanish town of Tariifa near the Straits of Gibralter.

Hotel Playa de la Luz at night

Another exciting day today.  I signed the contract to our new house tonight around 7, got back to the hotel and and since the weather is still so nice, I decided to take the dogs for a nice walk around the neighborhood.  Once I was finished I thought, I might as well grab my camera and see what I can find.

I’m really limited as far as gear goes, my tripod is still in transit along with all of my…

Big Changes

So I haven’t posted in a while and the reason for that is our life has completely changed!

I had the opportunity to move to Rota, Spain (here’s a map)in order to help support our ships that we are moving here permanently.  It was not an easy decision, but being able to expose our children to cultures and experiences that could never be taught combined with my wife being allowed to stay home with…

Last Day of Pre-K3 Kaylin's last day of Pre-K3. This year she grew into a little girl. She made friends, learned how to play, learned how to deal with confrontations as well as academics.

We Love Homework!

My 4 year old LOVES watching TV as much as the next kid. We monitor every show, try and stick to PBS(easy to do since we don’t have cable) or Netflix and limit her “screen” time. But parents, lets be honest, sometimes TV is just so easy. My wife and I really want our children to be better than us. The old “I did it and turned out fine” s such a cop out in my mind. Its funny (or sad) how much I…

Bad @$$ Cat

So I'm the first to admit I'm not really a cat person but one a friend wanted some pictures made of their cat I thought it would be interesting. I popped a couple of antihistamines (I think God never intended me to have a cat) and headed over.

I layed down on the floor, eye to eye with this cat and quickly got the feeling that he felt the same way about me. Thinking I could lose an eye at any…
