Welcome to CosmicAdventure!

Updated 02/18/13
We all survived 2012, now it's time to party like its 2013! Actually Charlotte and I haven't had much time to party or do anything except work lately, thus the infrequent updates and incomplete galleries on the website. We did however fit a few trips in last year to visit family in Dallas, Las Vegas, and California. We also had a big family reunion with Charlotte's family in Portland after taking a cruise to Alaska. Other than that it's been mostly local and regional fun for us and Mulder.

As always I'll list any new updates on the main page sidebar. For more current events be sure to check out Charlotte's blog JavaFoto. If you would like to see a larger version of this collage just click on the picture to open a bigger size, you may need to click on it again to expand that photo. Hope you all have a great 2013!
