I’ve posted two videos from the California trip that Matt, Brooke, and I took. One is of Squaw Valley, and the other is of our drive around Lake Tahoe. The camcorder’s onboard mic picked up lots of wind, and not much in the way of voices. I’m almost at my weekly upload limit with the video host (vimeo.com), so the final video, the Golden Gate Bridge, will go up early next week.

Yesterday, with all the ski areas in the region now closed for the season, Matt, Brooke, and I drove the 72 mile loop around Lake Tahoe. Wow. What a remarkable drive. It was a scenic drive, and there were a few white knuckle parts as well. In one area, after several hairpin turns, the road crossed a ridge, with a dropoff of several thousand feet on either side. Matt and I took some great photos of the lake.
Brooke left for the airport early this morning. Matt and I will be leaving in about 45 minutes. I took some video which I will post when I get home.

Matt, Brooke, and I drove up to Squaw Valley from San Francisco yesterday. We skied today, on Squaw’s last day of the season. It was sunny and warm, and a nice way to cap off the season. It was a great day, but tiring. For our last run, we hiked up a ridge line, and ended up having to do a bit of exploration to find a way down that didn’t involve falling off of any cliffs. We’re probably going to do some mountain biking tomorrow. I posted some photos from the day.
Matt, Brooke, and I are in San Francisco right now. Last night, we went to see the Phillies play the Giants. The Phils won, in a really great game. Also, Phillies’ announcer Tom McCarthy was sitting near us at the start of the game, and during one of his bits on live TV we were on television. Here is a photo that we took, of Brooke and I with Tom. He was a really nice, down-to-earth guy, who chatted with us a good bit about the Phillies and baseball. I have more photos to post once we get somewhere with high speed internet that doesn’t cost $12.95 a day. UPDATE: Photos posted.

This weekend, our parents got together here in York. We had a great time. Elizabeth made an awesome dinner on Saturday night. We also went by Box Hill Mansion, where we will be getting married on September 7. On Sunday, Elizabeth took on her dad in Wii tennis, Wii boxing, and Wii bowling. Here’s a video (or a high-def version is here):
There’s an additional video of our Saturday get-together on the family video page.
I’ve also added new photos of Box Hill mansion taken by Dad Ellis to the previous photos that we took about a month ago. Both sets are together here.
