Trip to Fort Lauderdale, Miami and the Keys

A trip to florida! Me, Lauren, Hazel and Abi enjoyed Memorial Day weekend in the Keys. We stayed in Key Largo then ventured to down to Key West and eventually back to Fort Lauderdale for a conference.

White Sands, NM - April 11-12, 2008

(left to right) Liz, Athina, Hazel and I took a couple days to visit Truth or Consequences and White Sands, NM.

Have to see the dunes before Athina leaves!

Way to go Liz and Hazel for driving the whole route since Athina was deathly ill and Misa can't drive a manual transmission... doh

Winter Wonderland

I woke up this morning to find everything blanketed in snow! This is the first big snow there's been since I arrived about a month ago. I wanted to take a picture of the trees all draped in snow but I couldn't find my camera before leaving for work this morning... so I found this picture on the internet which gives you an idea. When it snows like this you get to sleep in cause they don't open the Lab until 10a.

Pictures of Los Alamos

Check out some pictures of the drive into Los Alamos, the downtown area (shopping, library, meeting hall, the pond, Starbucks), and the road I drive from home to work.

3095 Arizona Ave

Check out my new house! It's a 2BR/1BA, with a nice fireplace, carport, backyard and frontyard gardens (under the snow!), W/D, Dishwasher (yes!). There are also pictures of my neighborhood, looking east and west down Arizona Ave.
