New York October 2007

In October we ventured across the country to visit Danes sister Britt in New York. We had an awesome weekend of sight seeing and fun. We also ran into Liz running around NY (it is a small world).

Dane in Tallahassee

The National High Magnetic Field Lab in Tallahassee, Florida. I'm doing some experiments here at the moment.
The equipment stopped working, so I had a few days to explore Northern Florida. This is a picture of a bridge over a large bay.
Went for a swim at what looks like a nice beach (was an ok beach), but no waves. The beach is on the north coast of the Gulf of Mexico.
Nice place to watch the hurricanes from!

Mini Golf Mania

A sunny saturday led to Mini Golf Mania. The Banish Clan (Britt, Matt and Chris) plus Ashley, Jay, Dane and Jaci, competed to see whom was the best mini golfer.
