Tiger Stadium

Found this picture of Tiger Stadium and had to share. 129 days until kickoff by the way. Just in case anyone is counting.


The new scoreboard backing. Nice. Although I can already hear the Bama folks asking where the other 9 other. (shaking head now)


And this picture just cracks me up. The girl's face is hilarious.

Baby's First Picture and a Family Update

Here is the baby's first picture from a couple of weeks ago. Kerrie has been doing well save for the ridiculous San Antonio allergy season that she can now not take any of her regular medicine for.

In other news, it is official, we are moving back to DC in early June. I am staying in the Air Force and have accepted an assignment to go back north. In my first assignment, I was at the base legal office at Bolling AFB. I'll be back at the same base but will not be in the same office. Instead, I'll be working in the Government Trial and Appellate Government Division as an Appellate Government Counsel. As an Appellate Government Counsel, I will represent the Air Force in appellate review of courts-martial before the Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals (the Air Force's appellate court) and the United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces (the overall appellate court for all of the military services).

As you can imagine, things have been a little hectic and kicked into high gear here. Our house is now on the market (a beautiful little place if you are interested) and we are busy looking for houses and schools in the DC area. No, we are NOT going back to base housing. We are looking in the Burke or Fairfax area in Virginia. Kerrie is transferring back to work in the same job she had in DC and in San Antonio but will likely be working in Alexandria instead of downtown DC. Karlyle is most excited (like me) about the return of snow possibilities. Morgan is as excited as a 14 year old about to start high school can be but I think we have found her a school that she will fit right into. We are headed to DC this coming weekend to check out houses and schools.

So that's us for now. New job, new baby, selling a house, moving back across the country - not much happening.

Final Four & Taylor Swift

A couple of weekends ago, the Final Four was in town and that meant a boat load of tourists, basketball fans, and free concerts. On that Sunday, the girls and I braved heading downtown and walked the riverwalk, stopped by the Alamo, then headed to the main concert stage to see a free Taylor Swift concert. Enjoy.


The Alamo. The line to tour went around the block. We did not enter that line.


Along the riverwalk...






This duck made it out of the Riverwalk and into a side fountain along the side of a hotel.




Close up of the Alamo entrance.




The original layout of the Alamo. On the center of the back wall is the mission that still stands and what everyone recognizes as "the Alamo" today. The entire compound was actually rather large and you can still see the foundations of some of the outer walls across the street from the Alamo right next to Louis Tussaud's Wax Museum and Ripley's Believe It or Not. This is one thing that irritates me about the whole thing. Not 200 feet from the mission is a ton of tourist stuff that, at least for me, takes away from the historical aspect of the mission and the area. (Stepping down from soapbox)


K was tired but was clapping like crazy and singing along.
