Alright. Here we go.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So this actually happened a couple weeks <i>before </i>the trip to the Balloon Fiesta with Lucy</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But since we're all mixed up here anyway ... I'm doin' it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So in September (of 2011) I got to go on a road trip with Bob Carey (and Sophie!) from Chicago to New York.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Bob is the photographer I interned for the summer of 2010. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He's been working on this project for years. The nutshell version: he dresses up in a pink tutu and photographs himself in beautiful landscapes all over the world to raise money for breast cancer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For more of the story you can go to the website.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
http://www.thetutuproject.com/</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We roadtripped for about a week and then I got to spend a week with Bob and his amazing wife, Linda at their home in New Jersey and their Studio in Brooklyn. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got to go along with Bob to a photograph a farm for a food magazine and we got to go visit the new WTC for the 10th anniversary for 9/11</div>

And this is a page out of a giant book I'm making of all our travels. And since books are much more fun to read than blogs it gets priority. But I'm almost done so I'm going to start posting some pieces from the book so y'all can see that I really haven't been sitting around the house doing crafts and cooking a baby for the last 5 months.</div>

My friend Lucy and I took a road trip down to Albuquerque, NM to see the annual Balloon Fiesta and to make up for a trip to Santa Fe that was a couple years overdue.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">Just as a side note... that's not supposed to be a serious face on my dad. Kind of looks like it when its small though. But that's his "yah sure" face. The one we see a lot!</div><div><br />

Matt graduated! That last semester was crazy for him. He was flying out almost every weekend to either interview for a job or to do a presentation for Bayer Healthcare.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">But the semester ended well, though somewhat anticlimactically. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Since Matt graduated in the winter there was no walking ceremony so the only real confirmation we have that he completed all his classes was the diploma we got in the mail when we came home from Christmas break in Seattle.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">After spending more time in the air than on the ground interviewing (well it feels like it anyway) Matt was given a few offeres and we were relieved all his hard work paid off (we were relieved again when we found out he wasn't going to fail any of his classes he neglected the entire time)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I didn't know half the difficulty was deciding <i>which </i>job to take. They were in completely different places, and seemed to lead to very different futures.</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So long story short... we're going with Dow Chemical!!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghqZXwTmczeeag9-FOWW0r1y_KEbZ0GXtrmmpJTR0EEenHRpagjLJpFB83O1RTAQXwD1UxIXvDLVvEa5RTzzfeqqX6q8PC53ToKa7ukugCF2ROWrKB26jN1Y8B_UBZeGTvKybX87f_b5H8/s1600/The+Dow+Chemical+Company+Logo.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghqZXwTmczeeag9-FOWW0r1y_KEbZ0GXtrmmpJTR0EEenHRpagjLJpFB83O1RTAQXwD1UxIXvDLVvEa5RTzzfeqqX6q8PC53ToKa7ukugCF2ROWrKB26jN1Y8B_UBZeGTvKybX87f_b5H8/s1600/The+Dow+Chemical+Company+Logo.gif" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It sounds like a pretty sweet job even though Matt will travel a lot. I will let him explain it in another post because I think I get it until I hear him talk about it and then I realize I have no idea. </div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">One thing also taking away from the excitement of Matt's graduation is that this job doesn't start until June. So we have half a year to..... do.... something...? Don't know what it is yet. Isn't a degree supposed to help with this sort of thing?</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Anyways. For the first six months we'll be living in Midland, MI</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I believe it is located approximately </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">here...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTbB_LgOL-HlLpZ5kIfAbHOllrrY1OvBKB4R8F6Hb-C_kODVr2vsK3wWZuEx57DE2Lsxfwdsepl9bxyNDu8oIcJYuYZ9E2Xv99wZ6VcLiMShYePbtyihEjhTQcI6_nshoY7hEWwLsmcP6f/s1600/SquirrelyMittens.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTbB_LgOL-HlLpZ5kIfAbHOllrrY1OvBKB4R8F6Hb-C_kODVr2vsK3wWZuEx57DE2Lsxfwdsepl9bxyNDu8oIcJYuYZ9E2Xv99wZ6VcLiMShYePbtyihEjhTQcI6_nshoY7hEWwLsmcP6f/s320/SquirrelyMittens.jpg" width="189" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Midland is the home of Dow Chemical but since Matt will be over a territory we won't be living there.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">After his 6 months of charm school we'll get placed in one of these beautiful cities:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So until December-ish we won't know where we will end up.

</div><div>Here are some things we saw:</div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">There was a hugh mix of old and new tombs.</div><div style="text-align: center;">There were also a bunch of Voodoo tombs covered in X's and random "gifts" in exchange for some luck.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg07wvDyBBZUCymYeshI5DtRPRPxBs8JtSOI-klq27ZdHPDACIR-WiLkujonZY7lBdkImmXHS4f4qdQNzfzt2I2I4tIBtNE_GdKmQuQLXXzDoEnnLYmyBUL_0j97GNxkQ3G1vpAomH4ZFBu/s1600/IMG_0010.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg07wvDyBBZUCymYeshI5DtRPRPxBs8JtSOI-klq27ZdHPDACIR-WiLkujonZY7lBdkImmXHS4f4qdQNzfzt2I2I4tIBtNE_GdKmQuQLXXzDoEnnLYmyBUL_0j97GNxkQ3G1vpAomH4ZFBu/s320/IMG_0010.jpg" width="238" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">Then fast forward to the end of the day. It had finally warmed up (a little too warm, if you ask me) and we made it to our last stop: The City Museum</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I really can't put this place in words. None of these pictures do it justice. But its basically this maze/playground for kids and adults. They have several different environments made out of recycled materials that you'd find anywhere from the school cafeteria to the side of the road. You can clime on everything and find secret passageways to other parts of the building.... I really cant make this sound cool, can I?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnKpcY_wXEBfW-bHnX6tBnSd5mRPc9lFiNvz-9NNS2Yf5Q0ZfYjDyk-HccnBZktdOzQ_FYuyf9aOxr1oIBUwE8WfmUMQ9pnSwxNYDFSRgzdPa9i2fib7OfkCRA9UmkSh9mPeMu7QbMMA8d/s1600/IMG_9763.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnKpcY_wXEBfW-bHnX6tBnSd5mRPc9lFiNvz-9NNS2Yf5Q0ZfYjDyk-HccnBZktdOzQ_FYuyf9aOxr1oIBUwE8WfmUMQ9pnSwxNYDFSRgzdPa9i2fib7OfkCRA9UmkSh9mPeMu7QbMMA8d/s320/IMG_9763.jpg" width="236" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> For example... this is one of the environments. You reach this point after climbing through a maze of caves. You can hear this creepy organ (its actually an organ from an old theater in New York) directing your path. Its slightly off tune and echoes through the space.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">So back in Austin we had to check out Stubb's BBQ.</div><div style="text-align: center;">We wanted to see a show there and low and behold Matt and Kim were playing</div><div style="text-align: center;">I can totally listen to their music long enough to say that I got to see a show at Stubb's</div><div style="text-align: center;">Only problem (and I totally should have known): tickets were sold out</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">so, alas, no show at Stubb's but we did have one other historic thing on our agenda that may require as much standing in line as all those 14-year olds who's parents bought out the Matt and Kim show.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">But this will be worth it: Franklin Barbecue</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">On the top of everyones "To do in Austin" list and on the cover of "Edible Austin" magazine, we knew that if we were going to try some real Southern BBQ it had to be this.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">So we waited. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Woke up early-ish the next day. Didn't eat breakfast.

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Aaron Franklin is passionate about barbecue. </div><div style="text-align: center;">He doesn't just cook the meat and walk off.</div><div style="text-align: center;">He is at the counter cutting it and serving it.</div><div style="text-align: center;">We've never really had barbecue like this so when it was our turn to order (which, by the way was about noon) we were still a little unsure of what or how much to get.</div><div style="text-align: center;">So Mr Franklin just put together a nice pile of food to sample.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Short but good. We got to spend time with family and be with our mothers on Mothers Day. We also got to skip the first good weather back at home while just missing the sunny day in Washington. So we went from the rain - to the rain - then back to the rain. Hopefully living in Dallas this summer will make up for all this cold spring weather.<br />
<br />
So, naturally I only took pictures the first hour of our trip so here is what happened in that first hour.....<br />
