Adventures of a well-rounded geek
Gene and I went to Roxborough State Park this morning. Now that we have a state park pass I figured it was high time we went hiking there. We did a three mile hike because I wasn't interested in doing anything longer and Gene was a sport and went along with me. The park is…
Gene and I took today off so we could spend time together and celebrate our one year wedding anniversary. We started the morning off with going to Syrup, a local breakfast restaurant in the city.

Or, at least, really clear and crisp? ;P This picture was taken to try to replicate this picture: Elisabeth took this picture in November 2007 - that's 10 years ago! Gene still has that sweatshirt, in fact, he's wearing…
