What’s In My Bag?

I wanted to film a video this weekend and have been toying around with trying to do something with two cameras (I am usually not that creative). I thought a “what’s in my bag” video would be a good way to try out this idea…

… and I needed to clean out my gadget pouch anyway.

If you have questions about anything you see, feel free to ask questions on Twitter (It is the only social media I am using these days).

First Day of 3rd Grade

It was “Back to School” day and it certainly was a special one. Our school’s COVID-19 strategy was to do half days at home and half days in the classroom.

It was Ben’s first day in the classroom and he wasn’t very excited (he never is), but he turned it around by the end of day. I thought it was important to document the day (I try to do it every year).

First Day: Kindergarten

First Day: 1st Grade

Labor Day 2020

It was a quiet and lazy Labor Day weekend. The dog was spayed last week and she is still recovering. Nobody had the mental energy to figure out where and how to go somewhere safely (without crowds and worth the drive).

So we stayed home, binge-watched TV, and I played with my old camera equipment to fight off buying a new one. Bonus points for irking Allison to her soul.

Vacationing in Chestertown, NY

My family and friends rented a house in Chestertown, NY near Loon Lake. In addition to having some fun on Lake George, we did some hiking near the lake, took a dip in the lake, and visit a weekly farmer’s market.

We tried to hit up the local business as much as possible and we found some nice options. Shout out to Main Street Ice Cream – very nice people and the Odd Duck

I tried to find spots to use the drone as well… because why not?

Lake George Boating Adventure

The second part of our vacation was in the Lake George area of New York.

We thought it would be fun to rent a boat on our own and tour the lake but they were all sold out. We called several places and then thought to get a boating tour. We were lucky that somebody cancelled (thought it was going to rain, but the weather ended up being perfect).

It was a fantastic day. The water temperature was 80 degrees, our captain Jonathan knew all the cool points on the lake to swim and do cliff jumps and we had a great time.

Vacation Vlog: OBX House Tour

People always ask “how was the house?” when you go away, so I always try to film a little bit so people can get a feel for the place.

Whenever you do a HomeAway or AirBNB, you never know what you are walking into, but this place was perfectly comfortable and clean.

I might also add that it had the best AC in any house or hotel I have ever stayed at.
