In honor of the 2010 Vancouver Olympics

I fell in love with Vancouver when we visited at the end of our Alaska trip. In honor of the winter games, I've embedded my video of the Gastown Steam Clock from downtown Vancouver in July 2009.

Michelle in Las Vegas ... Again

No sooner did I arrive home from CES in Las Vegas, I had to turn around and head back. I was speaking - and on the National Planning Committee - for ASTD TechKnowledge 2010. I spent most of my time speaking and chatting with people, so I didn't get as many photos as last year. With responsibility comes fewer photo opps.

Photo Set

Michelle at CES, 01/10

I kicked off the year by getting a press pass to the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. It was positively mind-blowing. I've embedded a photo collage here, that includes the random press parties and things I attended with my friend Jason. However, photos - even video - don't do justice to CES. (And yes, I was that close to Lady Gaga at a press conference.)

I also have a video playlist, although most of the videos were taken by my friend Jason. The video below is me with a robotic dinosaur that responds to being loved. 

2009 In Photos and Video

You can view all of our photos from 2009 on Flickr, from everything - not just the big trips that we mention on the blog. 

2009 Photo Collection

We've also really started adding videos to our YouTube page this year. You can view all of our videos on Michelle's Channel.

Happy New Year!

End of Year Florida Trip, 2009

Kevin's cousin got married the weekend before Christmas. We spent the weekend in West Palm Beach at her wedding, moved to Key West for several days, and then headed back to Boca Raton for Christmas, spanning 10 days overall. The only hiccup was that I loved Key West so much I honestly didn't want to leave. At all.

Below is a video from Key West. But you can view Key West photos, wedding photos, and Boca Raton photos all in a collection on Flickr. Videos can be found in our Florida Playlist on YouTube. 

Kevin's Utah Trip 12/09

In early December, Kevin and a colleague went to Park City, Utah for a conference. Turns out the conference included skiing and snowmobiling. View the entire photo set on Flickr. 

Epcot Wine & Food Festival, 10/09

We went to Disney again for our favorite time of the year: the Epcot Food and Wine Festival. 

While we didn't take any overpriced seminars this time, we did have a great time exploring the park and the Animal Kingdom Lodge. The only sad part was that we were supposed to go to Disney with our friends, Tom & Carla. Unfortunately, Carla's mother passed away right before the trip,
so we had to go without them. :-(

We also played the Kim Possible game, which is a "secret mission" integrated into Epcot. In fact, we have several food/wine themed videos you can view on our YouTube channel.
 

Michelle in San Francisco, 09/09

Michelle got to go to BlogHer Food in San Francisco as a speaker. She stayed with her friends Thea and Robyn for the weekend. You can view all of the photos on Flickr. 

Labor Day 2009: Chicago Art Institute

We had a free night in a hotel to use, so we went to the Art Institute in Chicago for Labor Day weekend.

Gatlinburg, August 2009

Shel's mom had a cousin's reunion in Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg, TN, in early August 2009. Kevin and Shel went with her (after all, they're Michelle's cousins too.)
