As I get busier I seem to be finding less tome to do updates to my blogs. It has only been two cities since my last update but it feels like it has been longer, I guess because of the week long mission trip my family and I went on. If you didn't catch my blog from the mission trip, you can find it here

Another thing that I haven't done a lot of in the past couple cities is picture taking. Ive taken some shots, and I will share them in this update.
the night before I left for Philli I went outside and took a few shots of the moon.
I wish I had a really good lens for my camera, but this 18-105 does pretty good.
When I came in the house this is what I found laying in my spot on my bed:
How funny is that? And they just looked at me like, "don't know where you're gonna sleep." lol. These two were not the best of friends at first, now they are best friends.
I headed to Philli shortly after returning from the mission trip. I had such a great time with my family for a week on the mission trip that it was hard to leave to go to work. I just wanted to hang out with my wife and kids. But ya gotta do what ya gotta do, right?
Here are some shots flying into Philli:
This was hard to read because the way we were flying by made it upside down, but I think it says:
"Amazing Maze and Ramsey's Pumpkin Farm" I think I'm close.
This Helo was just hovering over the landing pad as we flew by. I thought it was cool.
Philli was a pretty uneventful city. Of course I had to try a philli cheese steak sandwich while in this city. Myself, Matt, Kai and Greg went to a place that claimed it had the best cheese steaks in the city. At least that's what Kai found in his research. Well, let me just say, none of us will be relying on Kai's dinner research in the future. This was quite possibly the worst cheese steak sandwich I've ever had. I honestly think I could have done better with a box of steal-um's and some cheese.
We were located right between the Hockey stadium where the Flyers play and the baseball stadium where the Philli's play.
Chevy car and CUV course behind the Volt course
Chevy Volt course. Set up is all finished. Just need to pull the cars over in the morning and we'll be ready to go.
Not too far from the site there was this giant old ship. I'm pretty sure it's no longer in use. I know I wouldn't want to be out in the middle of the ocean on this thing. Looks like it has seen better days.
Just a random bridge shot lol
Volt course in action
The Corvette and Camaro course, known as the Halo course, is right next to the Volt course.
After Philli we headed to Boston. Really nothing to share about Boston other than it was HOT. Like, it was the hottest city we have been to so far. On Friday they said it was 103˚! and it felt every bit of it. And then of course the other topic was the rain. We had a heck of a lightning and rain storm pop up for about an hour and a half so we had to shut down. I grabbed a couple quick shots of the clouds as the storm was rolling in.
And when the storm let go, it really let us have it. We all had to re-chalk all of our courses before we could start up again.
But all in all Boston was a simple gig. I did love hearing the people talk, cracked me up.
So tonight I am in NJ. This is the last city before I get a couple weeks off. I just got to town today and set up my route for the Volt.
I went out to find a pizza place for dinner and I found this place....
Very good Italian style pizza. They coock the pizza in a wood stove and it really does taste just like the pizza I had in Italy. Personally I still prefer a good NYC style pie, but this is definitely in second place.
So, maybe I will take more pictures in this city. I would love to do some night shots of the city skyline. If I can find a place to do that I will.
I am SOOO looking forward to having two weeks off with my family. I just want to hang out with my wife and boys for a while. I love my family.
