I had to fly out to Spokane, Washington to shoot Gonzaga University. It would've been fun to bring the whole family, but alas school is not out for summer. After the first night I went to Iron Goat Brewing for dinner, a couple of beers and the NFL Draft. Then I went for a walk around Downtown Spokane. Thought their downtown was pretty great for a city of 200,000.

After missing last year we were back in Duluth for Easter 2025. Friday night means Friday night fish fry at The Shack . I always get something else when we come here and then look longingly at Brooke, Blake and Daniel's fish fry.    The kids and I all got burgers.   While these jokesters played, Daniel and I went to an improv show at the Zeitgeist, which I failed to take photos of. The rest of us were not feeling it. Plus somebody had to watch the kiddos.   Blake has a foot massager. I thought I would try it out. I did not like it. Machines: 0 Scottie: 1 Blake made us French Toast for breakfast.   Part of our science museum membership includes admission to the Duluth Children's Museum.  Well, it lets us into hundreds of science museums. We've been to a handful or two this year. I hadn't been here since Meadow was really little. It was nothing like the old one. Everything was just on one floor. Also my kids might be getting too old for these museums. Or this...

A day after getting back from our RV road trip I flew out to Tennessee for another college campus 360 shoot. Oh, yeah, that's what I do for a living. Shoot 360s and architectural photography .   I told him he should have changed his flight to just go directly to Nashville.  Anyways after shooting at Union University in Jackson, Tennessee, I took my clients recommendation and ate at Clifton Brothers BBQ on the outskirts of town. Don't believe the negative reviews (who mostly don't seem to understand sometimes staff are new or overworked), great BBQ. The client said that some people call Jackson a suburb without a city. That made me intrigued, so before heading to Nashville for my flight home, I thought I'd check out the downtown. Cool old houses. Check. Sweet art moderne Greyhound station. Check.

Oh, hey, we made it to Savannah. Time for a nice stroll (well, as leisurely as Brooke will allow).   I was pretty excited to be going to Savannah, even if we could only stay for a few hours. The tricky thing with having an RV is finding a place to park. The Fahm Avenue parking lot had RV spots and then we walked over to the historic district. Meadow should go to the Savannah College of Art and Design. You know, if she can get a scholarship. Savannah is just as cool in person as you think. I should have done at least one house tour. I had to embarrass Meadow with taking her photo in front of the first Girl Scout Headquarters.  Brooke got me to go into the beautiful Catholic church right in the historic district. I don't think I've ever been in a Cathedral Basilica. Usually it's one or the other. It seems like every few blocks there was a perfect square. We should build all cities like this. For lunch we went to Savannah Smokehouse . We ended up getting the sampler for 2, whi...
