New Your Training Trip

Eric took me to New York for two weeks in October to assist him in getting IV sedation certified. This will allow him to IV sedate his patients in his dental office. We also got ACLS certified there. It was very intense, but very informative. We got to play around a little while there in the evenings.

Here's Jeffrey Ross at the game also. He was on DWTS and is a famous comedian.

Rare getaway

A few weeks ago, Casey Ann's mom and sister invited her to go to Florida for a week while her dad was working there (free trip).  She hadn't been on a trip without the kids (or me) for years and it was a good opportunity to go have some fun with her parents and sister.  They got to tour Ernest Hemmingway's home also.  They really liked that.

They stayed in Miami for the week and traveled down to Key West one day.  It was a 3-hr drive, but worth it they said.  They drove on a bridge that was several miles long over the ocean.  It's the same one in the movie "True Lies".  They went to the beach in Miami and also went on an air-boat tour of the everglades.  She had a blast.

Here's some pics.

Rhode Island Bound

I helped drive my brother, Jared, to Rhode Island for basic training as he starts his service as a Dentist for the Navy. We drove 2600 miles and spent 35 hours in the car driving. We took a few pits stops along the way and here's some photos.

We went to Yankee Stadium and watched the Reds thrash the Yanks. I can't believe was a trashy place the stadium is. It's so old and broken down.



Here's the New Yankee Stadium which is right across the street. It'll be ready for the start of next season.



Jared is enjoying a "whiz with" at Geno's in Philly. Thanks to Ryan for giving us the directions. Philly was really cool and can't wait to go back with Casey Ann.



The subway in New York was crazy. Very dirty and gloomy. We had fun taking the train into Manhattan from Newark, New Jersey to see some of the sites.



We had seats in the outfield close to the back wall.



Here's ground zero, they're still working on the foundation.



Iowa 80, the largest truck-stop in the world. It has it's own full-time dentist and chiropractor, along with a movie theatre and anything Big-rig you could ever want.



Notre Dame stadium in South Bend, Indiana. It was only about 3 miles from the freeway. The College Football Hall of Fame was there also.



Geno's in Philly.



Madison Square Garden is where the New York Knicks play. I buried a Suns jersey below the foundation to curse Mike D'Antoni. :)
