Snow in Denver

Posted by John Minnihan - 29/12/06 at 08:12:08 am

The snowstorm in Denver that closed the city & the airport for a couple days before Christmas was awesome – lots of it (30 inches at our house), in a very short period. We’re still digging out and it is snowing again…

A driving path was cleared via the big snow-blower by our neighbor Paul (who is visible behind the dog), and other neighbors worked to clear driveways using the smaller snow-blowers. I was in San Francisco during this blizzard, so I only have the photos. But I’m home now, and as mentioned above it is snowing again… forecast is for another 16 inches.

Motorcycling Buena Vista

Posted by John Minnihan - 02/07/05 at 11:07:32 am

We loaded the trailer and drove to Buena Vista, Colorado for the Fourth of July 2003. There are miles of Forest Service trails in the area, and we did some four wheeling in addition to riding.

Skydiving

Posted by John Minnihan - 02/07/05 at 11:07:32 am

I went skydiving for my birthday in 2003. I’d wanted to do this for a long time, so this was as good a time as any other.

These photos are a bit embarassing – my arms and legs are in very goofy positions… but it was a blast! Stepping out of the plane was literally as scary a thing as I’ve ever done. Note the look of terror on my face – this was real. But that faded within about 2 seconds, and the rest of the way down was simply incredible. But I still looked goofy… oh well.

We went on a Disney Land-and-Sea cruise in May 2003 to celebrate Brandon’s 5th birthday. It was fun and we’ve got the pictures to prove it.

Here are some more photos of the NYC weekend. Some of these are of the suite we had at the Waldorf, some are in the Park Plaza, where we had brunch Sunday, and in Central Park during our carriage ride. We also took some photos in midtown and on Liberty island

NYC Prom 1

Posted by John Minnihan - 01/07/05 at 02:07:42 pm

I took Jen to NYC for a suprise weekend in July 2003 that we’ve referred to as our Prom (we got dressed up, had a limo, etc..) This was a great weekend, if I say so myself. I planned the whole thing (something that still somewhat amazes here).

We stayed at the Waldorf, had dinner at Felidia’s, saw Chicago at the Ambassador, drove through Times Square and Central Park in the stretch limo, and all in all had a great weekend. I re-proposed to Jen in the limo & gave her a new ring while we were riding through Central Park…

We also did the obligatory trip up the Empire State building and out to Liberty Island.
