Indiana Trip

Tyla and I aren’t going back to Indiana for Thanksgiving or Christmas this year so we picked a cheap weekend in October instead. Luke, Rachel and David came over from Toledo and we all had a great weekend! It was a nice lazy, relaxing weekend with some...

Celebrity Cruise Video

We took over 2.5 hours of video on this last trip so it took quite a while to piece it all together. I got it down under 15 minutes but didn’t feel like cutting it down much more. The format of this one is a bit different than last time. It goes...

On our stop in St. Maarten, we signed up to race sailboats. Each yacht had 3 crewmen and then the 11 guests were filling in the working positions. Before we started, they gave us a little history of the boats we were racing: True North, Canada II, and...

Martens Family Christmas 2011

This year Tyla and I headed back to the midwest for Christmas. We spent a few days in South Bend and a couple in western Illinois (the Quad Cities to be more precise.) Our days were full of family and it was wonderful to see everyone again. I think I...

Christmas in Leavenworth

On a weekend before Christmas, Tyla, Megan, Chelsea, Tim, Micah and I once again headed through Stevens Pass to the kitschy little Bavarian themed town of Leavenworth. We arrived just as they were doing the big lighting ceremony. Happily the crowd thinned...

Flight With A View

On our flight from Maine to Seattle, we took off right at sunset and even had a little bit of a reverse sunset as we gained altitude. Since we were flying west, we enjoyed a VERY long sunset. Part way through the trip, I looked out the window and was...

Long Lake Timelapse

This is shaping up to be photography week. I have quite a few posts about photos I took on vacation. This one is a short timelapse video that I took from the dock in Maine. It looked like a storm was rolling in during sunset so I was hoping for some great...

Camp Ticawa PhotoSynth

It’s hard to explain what the main lodge at camp looks like on the inside. While we were there last time, I walked all over the inside snapping a bunch of pictures. I then shoved them all up to PhotoSynth and let their app piece them all together into...

Summer Vacation: NYC

When I asked Tyla what she wanted to do for a summer vacation, she immediately replied, “Do you think the Abendroths would let us go up to Maine with them?” I was thrilled that Tyla wanted to visit one of my favorite places with some of my favorite people...
