Cross Country Drive (05/27/2013 – 06/08/2013) (Summary) Second Half

Listing all the NPS units and brief summaries in our cross country drive turned out to be lengthier than I imagined, which means a separate post for the non-NPS-related places and attractions is needed.  With so many other places to see but so little time, here are the other things we sampled through:

Cross Country Drive (05/27/2013 – 06/08/2013) (Summary) First Half

Similar to 2008, when my wife took up a job in North Carolina which gave us an excuse to plan a cross country road trip, this time she packed up her things to move back with me, prompting another road trip in the opposite direction.

Happy Chinese New Year 新年快樂~~



蛇年快樂。開始工作之後,繼續blog的時間和興緻不免少了些。可以很佩服二者兼顧的人~  總之,一切更上軌之後,會將欠的東西再補上來囉 ^^

Year of the snake...  Been a bit lazy after starting to work.  That and just being plain tired and not having enough time.  Now I can say I truly admire those that blog regularly but also have a full-time profession.  Anyways, a lot of early music concert reviews that I are in the queue....   in due time...

Xmas and New Year's (2012-2013)

Like last year, it's been a while since we've visited any national parks in a while.  This winter holiday season, while situated in the Bay Area, we made a road trip out to southern Arizona, stopping by the various NPS units there.  By now, we have visited all NPS units of Arizona.
