The Doctors Kreitel

Laura and I attended Derek and Liz's wedding this weekend in Charlottesville, VA. We had a great time! The wedding was at Veritas Vineyard, and great wine and times were had by all.

I was in the wedding, so I didn't get many pics of the bride and groom. Here are two of my Favorites.



Matt, Eddie and Mike

Back at you, Ryan

Ryan recently posted a photo of wilted flowers on his photo blog, so I thought I would hit him back with some. Laura and I recently celebrated our wedding anniversary, and this is what happens to flowers a week later!

Hochuli is back in action

My favorite NFL official, Ed Hochuli was back in action, calling the Giants v. Cowboys game. I am still looking for a schedule of which crew is calling which game for the year so I can watch all of the games.

He is, without a doubt, the best NFL official in the game right now.

Studying...

So I have a little test coming up on physics... do they ever stop? The answer is no.

Here is a picture of Hoolie. Thanks to Ryan for embellishing the photo.

On Vacation

Laura and I are on vacation with her parents, brother and sister-in-law, Derek and Liz. The weather has been great, and the water is really nice. Here is one of the photos I've taken.



The sand on the beach is really fine, and I've decided I'm probably not going to take my camera down there any more. I have a bunch of photos I took the first day, so I'll be editing them over the next week. Check out the new set I've created on flickr to see what I've added over the next week or so.

Peterson Road Beach

While up in Leelanau County this weekend, Laura and I ran into a photographer named Terry Phipps. We talked about the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore for a while, and he suggested we check out Peterson Road Beach. It is a great looking beach. Unfortunately, it was about 70 degrees out, and the wind was blowing pretty hard, so it wasn't very warm on the beach. Some people were brave enough to get into the water, but all that Laura and I did was admire the landscape.

Recent Trip Up North

I recently went up into northwest Michigan (not the UP), in the region of Suttons Bay/Leland/Glen Arbor. We stayed with my uncle Karl. If you're up there you should definitely check out Brisling Pottery or the adjacent Sporck Tileart.

Here are a few photos i took.

This is Karl's Barn, shot in the morning light.



This is the beach in Empire, MI.
