    Chi City & Maine 2020

    I was recently in Chicago for work then met up with my wife & family in Maine. I didn’t get out much in Chicago, I was pretty busy with work – but when I did get out, here are the pictures I snapped:

    Left side view of downtown Chicago from the hotel, Lake Michigan in the back
    Right side view of downtown Chicago from the hotel
    View of the Chicago skyline from a friend’s house that I met up with for lunch
    Dearborn Station in Downtown Chicago
    The Chicago Tribune was right behind the place I rented a U-Haul from ๐Ÿ˜„
    Hotel Lounge
    Dearborn St. Downtown Chicago
    Chicago Stock Exchange & CoreSite data center

    “Epic Burger” in Downtown Chicago. One of the best burgers I’ve ever had.
    Civil unrest and covid-19 had a lot of the city closed down and/or boarded off
    Breakfast @ Meli Cafe

    That was pretty much it for Chicago. Also have a few pictures from Maine. It was an amazing time of year to visit as the leaves were changing over and the weather wasn’t cold yet.

    The leaves were beautiful

  • Christmas 2018 – Zermatt, Switzerland (Short Recap)

    Christmas 2018 – Zermatt, Switzerland (Short Recap)

    We spent last Christmas in Thailand. This year, we spent our Christmas snowboarding the Swiss Alps in Zermatt, Switzerland and rang in the new year in Milan, Italy. There was so much to this trip, and I promised a long and inclusive video for everyone, but a documentary-style video comprised of 100’s of hours of footage from 7 people that attended the trip is going to take a long, long time.

    So, in the meantime, I pulled some snowboarding footage from my GoPro and threw together a 6 minute recap of what some of the snowboarding was like while I wait for everyone’s footage to roll in and begin the long process of organizing and editing the final “Group Zermatt-Milan 2018/19 film.”

    Hope you all enjoy ๐Ÿ™‚

    P.S. Now that I’m back, my 100 days of running challenge officially begins. First day recapped here.
