Eastcoast Travels, part 1

Oh man.
I planned the heck out of this east coast trip we're on right now.
Down to the minute, almost.
We flew into Baltimore and did some family time there,
including meeting my brother's super rad girlfriend, Halana.
And my mom spotted TWO dead birds in Baltimore,
which you can see here.
On our way north,
we dropped off my mom in Havre de Grace,
but not before visiting Concord Point Lighthouse.


















Meryl and I celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary in Spring Lake, New Jersey,
and it was pretty nice.
A bed and breakfast,
the Atlantic Ocean
another lighthouse,
some more dead birds.
You know, super romantic.











































From there we went to Long Island,
visited my grandparents,
(and ate some REAL pizza, not that terrible MN stuff)
and then headed to the new Mets stadium (for a wedding!).

I've been friends with Jes since I was 13 years old.
Bike camp, kids.
That's a long time to be friends with me,
let me tell you.
There's not too many people who can make that claim.
She and Rob were tying the knot, finally,
and we were so happy to be there.
Even in the rain.
But do you see the rainbow?
That's not the worst way to kick things off.
And even though there were 250 guests in attendence,
we got the special vegan treatment.
That's some friendship.



















Now we're headed to Maynard House,
then north to NH.
Should be so rad.

Back East

Meryl and I made it to the East Coast,
and are hanging out with the Hebranks.
(it's a loud time here, for sure)
Today we did some forest trail hiking,
then went to Baltimore's Inner Harbor for dinner
and a lighthouse-turned-museum visit.
This is a screw-pile lighthouse built in 1856,
and was relocated to Pier 5 in 1988.
That's my mom and I, photo by Meryl.



This is the second lighthouse trip in a week,
but the Wisconsin ones were fresh water.
And this, my friends, is the Atlantic Ocean.

We're headed up to Brooklyn tomorrow,
and then Long Island
(where I hope to see at least one more).
Then north to Northampton, MA.
We're staying at the Maynard House, of course,
while I do my Off the Map Tattoo guest spot.
I have 6 super packed tattooing days lined up,
with some of the most fun tattoo ideas I could ask for.
Then to CT for a few days before heading back to MD.
Two weeks, kids.
We don't mess around.

(if you ALSO think lighthouses are sexy,
you can visit this site for a comprehensive listing of them.
and if you go visit some, let me know.)
