Trip to South Dakota

Bob and I took a trip up to South Dakota for my sister's high school graduation. I posted some of the pictures over at sname. Since all us girls were together I took a shot of my 3 sisters, below.


We took a quick trip to Mt. Rushmore, walked around the trail, simulated blowing up the mountain, fun stuff.

Update

I've slowly been updating my website so that :

The pages are coded in CSS style sheets,

My photo album contains the story of the photos and not just pictures, and

I'm moving the destination photos to www.sname.com and keeping family pictures on nautmile.com.

Thus far I've moved over My Construction Project and My Goonie Adventure and added Northern California.

Other than updating the website, not much going on down here. We've had a couple monster storms that have sent us running for buckets to keep from soaking the carpet. Bob is doing well at Dell and looking forward to starting classes this fall. I may have another construction project later this year, but it depends on how quickly I can get this job permitted. My record is 2 weeks, but I cheated by having a Congressman write to the Corps to speed up the project.

I will need to start studying for the Professional Engineers exam later this year, as I plan to take it next April. I could take it later this year, but after witnessing what a colleague went through prior to taking his, I'd prefer more time to study for it. Especially considering there it no Coastal Engineering PE exam, so we have to learn some environmental engineering to take the test, an 8 hour exam.

In the meantime, I'm just swimmning and preparing to go up to South Dakota for my sister's high school graduation (bio-father's daughter with new wife). Bob and I will spend a little extra time to go see Mt. Rushmore and possibly Crazy Horse, so it should be fun.
