Hail Hail (20 photos)
In the space of 15 minutes we went from perfectly blue to torrential downpour with hail enough to cover the yard then back to perfectly clear. Kind of crazy, all things considered. But there's Indiana for you.

Go West X - Hollywood (10 photos)
Several photosets from our family vacation on the west coast. We started in Phoenix, went to a few nearby things, then up the entire west coast to the Olympic Peninsula.
Number ten, the final set. At this point, we'd been driving hard for two days to get back to Phoenix. We stopped in LA though, just so we could take a few pictures of the Hollywood sign.

Go West IX - Twilight (30 photos)
Several photosets from our family vacation on the west coast. We started in Phoenix, went to a few nearby things, then up the entire west coast to the Olympic Peninsula.
Number nine: Twilight. It's a combination of Forks, La Push, and Port Angeles. Definitely wasn't my primary reason for going, but I'll admit that La Push was pretty awesome. And it was neat being on the very northern end of the country.
