Corpus Christi Tool
I took Tessa to Corpus Christi Texas to catch the Tool Concert and spend a couple of days in the sun. We flew into San Antonio, rented a car, and drove down to Corpus Christi. We had a room in the Doubletree hotel right on the North Beach on the Corpus Christi Bay. This location allowed us to walk all along the beach and over to the USS Lexington Aircraft Carrier Museum and the Texas State Aquarium.
A few days in Florida
Jolie and I visited the East Coast of Florida for a few fun-filled days. We first went to Fort Lauderdale and stayed a few nights in the Hard Rock Hotel in Hollywood. We toured Downtown Fort Lauderdale, including a stop at Cafe Bastille for one of the best breakfasts we have ever had. This was followed by strolling along the riverfront walk, the historic buildings on Moffat Avenue, and finished with some shopping on Las Olas Boulevard. The final part of our visit to Fort Lauderdale included attending the Tool concert in the Hard Rock Live Theater, a fantastic venue.

West Shore
Went down to West Shore State Park to catch ‘sunset’…. Conditions did not cooperate, but it was fun hiking the shoreline with no one else around.

Holiday Tea & Tour @ the Conrad
We spent the morning enjoying the sights and tastes of the Historic Conrad Mansion in Kalispell, Montana. This was a fantastic guided tour around this 15,000 square foot mansion that is in impeccable condition. They have over 90% of the belongings from the Conrad’s time here over 100 years ago. The house is stunning decorated for the holidays.
Our little Drum Major
The Old Homestead
Stopped by my families original homestead in Bainville, Montana on our way home from visiting family in Nebraska. The current owners were very gracious to let us look around for a while and grab some photographs.
