Pickwick Hotel

chaunce — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 17:07:11 +0000

We stayed at the Pickwick Hotel in Union Station area in downtown San Francisco.

It’s a decent, older, but somewhat modernized hotel. I was surprised to see little signs talking about having the option of not getting your towels and/or bedding replaced by housekeeping to help the environment. Kudos, I wish we saw more hotels support this model.

The thing that I was very disappointed about though was that they have little bottles of Fiji water in the room for purchase. Fiji is terrible water because of what they stand for and how it as a company hurts the environment in Fiji.

We are now having breakfast at a cool little diner across the street from the hotel called Mo’z Cafe. Great food!

High-Lo’s 15th St Cafe

Stopped at a little cafe in Bremerton called High-Lo’s 15th St Cafe that Urbanspoon suggested. It was a fun little place for breakfast that had a really cool collection of thermoses. I decided to order something called Delux Moon Biscuits and Gravy. They took biscuit batter and put it in a waffle maker. When it was finished cooking they poor they gravy over the top, and finish the plate off with eggs and home-style potatoes.

Crystal Mountain

Crystal Mountain was fun. Had to get some new glove and got Heidi and new pair of goggles. She took a private ski lesson while her brother and I ran all over the mountain. It has a bunch of really fun runs and degrees of difficulty. We stayed on blues and black diamonds most of the day. Hit a bunch if powder and got buried once as did Corey. It was snowing and blowing wind like crazy for about an hour. Brrrrr! On our way back to Seattle to get dinner.

On to Crystal Mountain

After a restless night of sleep, we woke up like a couple of kids on Xmas morning. We are ready to go play in the snow. Corey made some breakfast burritos and coffee. Then we got our snow gear on and hopped in the car. All three of us fogged the windows so bad we had to stay parked in front of his house for about 5 min waiting for the defroster to do it’s work. Now we are on out way to Crystal Mountain to snowboard and ski. So excited, it’s been a year since we went to PowMow in Utah.

Seattle Trip

On our way to Seattle to visit Heidi’s brother Corey. We flew Alaskan Sirlines and they got us to Seattle a half hour early. Go figure.

Heidi is reading the 7th book in the Sookie Sachouse series (HBO’s True Blood).

Wedding Photos by Paula Burr

chaunce — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 01:10:25 +0000

We have posted the long-awaited wedding photos from our photographer friend Paula Burr of Killer Eye Photography. She did an awesome job shooting and editing the pictures.

We also remember quite a few people that were interested in prints of the pictures that Paula was taking. If you are interested in having prints (digital or tangible) please notify Heidi or I and we will get some to you. Please be sure to have the image number for reference (hover over the image to get this).

The Black and White gallery is the collection of photos that Paula has edited with her own flair. They were filtered to black and white and had a grunge border added to them. Heidi and I really like them. So much in fact, that we are planning to put together a photobook from My Publisher with those images.

The Color gallery is a collection of the original pictures she took before editing. It has a lot of images that were not edited in it that are really nice as well.

Overall, Heidi and I were very impressed with Paula’s work. Thank you very much Paula!!!

Update: Thanks to Andy, I found out that our Photo Gallery wasn’t work in IE. After a bit of hunting through the CSS, I figured it out and it is now working in IE again.

Vegetarian Restaurant: 222

chaunce — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 12:33:34 +0000

We had lunch today at this great little vegetarian place called 222 here in Fulham / West Kensington. It was a buffet style and all of the food was really tasty and fresh.

Friday in London, All day bus tour

heidi — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 17:07:21 +0000

What a wonderful day. We set out for the day and the tube was working. We went to Victoria Station and bought an all day ticket to “The Original Bus Tour” it is a double decker bus you can get on and off all day. It stops at all the main places in London. We also got an included walking tour of Jack the Ripper. I can tell you that was creepy. We stood on some of the exact spots the dead bodies where found. We walked through the East End of London where in 1888 the poor lived and had been forgotten. Many of the buildings and cobbled streets are the same. Now it is a clean trendy area but you can just see the dim street lamps and the old time people walking. Whew I loved it. We jumped on the bus again and got off to see another musical. Avenue Q is what we ended up seeing. It was a comedy with puppets and it was a musical. Strange but good. Before the show we had time to get dinner and relax. It was a nice day.
