Chicago: Just the Photos
For those of you who are not interested in my chatter, here’s a gallery of just the pictures from the other two Chicago posts (The Food & The Sights)
San Diego
Sarah’s 40th (shhhh)
For Sarah’s 40th birthday we popped down to San Diego for a few nights to get out of the heat and into charcuterie. We did some hiking and a lot of eating. I’m still doing the math on whether the latter offsets the former but judging by my math on Read more
Cabo 2025
Le Blanc – Cabo
Umbrella drinks without umbrellas and butlers for days. Cabo, a magical place were everyone speaks English and Sean kinda speaks Spanish.

Galway & Sean’s Bar
Galway looked like every other town we’d been to, which again isn’t a dig I’m just at a loss for how describe yet another. We did happen upon the offices of famous game developer John Romero (DOOM, Wolfenstein, etc) which was neat for me. I’m betting Sarah doesn’t even remember Read more

Cliffs of Moher
The place we stayed the night before, in Doolin, was unremarkable so I’m not going to bother wish photos. However they did have a map for guests to pin their homelands. I somehow managed to cram one into the already over-marked southern tip of CA. There was also a group Read more

Blarney Castle and Gardens
We were here for quite a while and so I’m going to break this into two different galleries. Blarney Castle is what you think… it’s the famous place where idiots wait in line to hang upside down from the top of the castle to kiss a stone… a stone which Read more
Misc
Colorado with my Dad
Father and son go hiking in Colorado without incident. No bears encountered… except Yogi which was fine.
Banff Canada 2023
Banff Day 3: Vistas and Valleys
In fairness, we saw vistas and canyons but I like alliterations. Oh, and we saw some more lakes because lakes are the waterfalls of Canada. This day was a long leisurely drive north along the Icefields Parkway (except for the first stop). The drive itself was almost enough to make Read more

Banff Day 2: The Art Walk
At the edge of Banff (or at least the part we came to know as Banff) is a lazy river along which they have a really neat art walk. It’s a seemingly endless stream of art installations built placed in nature along a picturesque backdrop. First, the nature: Natural Life Read more
