PA part 3: Mini Golf

The next day (after a huge breakfast and a lot of coffee) I went mini golfing with my Aunt Jan, which we always do whenever one of us is in the other's neck of the woods. My cousin Sarah also came along. Some others were going to come, but they needed to recover a little more.

Now you're probably asking, "Donald, how could mere mortals ever defeat YOU in mini golf??"

The answer is they can't. I shot par for a crushing victory.

PA part 2: The Fourth of July

The next day, we all went over to my uncle Jim's house for a most excellent shindig. It was a beautiful day filled with quality pool time, food, drinks... we had it all. My mom's entire side of the family made it out, the exceptions of my sister and one of my cousins. Still, the Fickenschers know how to have themselves a time!

PA part 1: America On Wheels

Well I finally returned from Pennsylvania and I finally have some new photos. (I'm still working on getting the animation on here as well. Soon.)

On Friday the third, my dad, Larry, and I went to America on Wheels Museum in Allentown. It's all about the history of cars/trucks, and to a lesser extent- bikes. And though I'm not much of a car buff, I thought it was pretty cool. I would've liked to have spent more time reading some of the stuff there, but we showed up late in the day so we couldn't spend too long.

They call this a Conference Bike. Seven people pedal, the one in the back has the wheel
My dad checking out the collection on the top floor. Apparently all the cars on the floor are owned by a jeweler of some sort. So laugh not at the metals majors.

The only problem with the upstairs collection was the huge windows, making white balance a pain. These three would probably look a lot better in black and white.
