Hi and welcome to our pages! We've put this together primarily as
a way to share news and photos with our friends around the country.
In particular, since Marie is an avid traveler and trip planner, we'd
like to share some of our experiences and photos. (For ProShow
Gold slideshows, please use Internet Explorer - you may be asked to
download a plugin from Photodex - this is normal and needed for the
show. Unfortunately, this only works with Internet Explorer!)

“Snowmageddon” - February 5-6, 2010
Maryland
and DC experienced a record-breaking snowfall, the third major
snow this year. I setup a camera looking out our front door and
took shots about every half hour - at least until it was time to
get some sleep. Those pictures and a few more are available
as a Flash video, as a
Proshow Gold show,
or as a MPG video file. (Note: Camera time was showing about 90 minutes later than the
correct time!
