Work Trip: Dallas Part Deux

I was back in Dallas for a day or so to shoot another college campus. After the shoot I made my way back to Bishop Arts District for some tacos at Taqueria El Si Hay.

Of course Scott get sent to the cities you don't want to visit in summer.

Hey, I just go where they send me.

I should've got some elotes on the side.

It was only 98 and humid. Just your typical Dallas summer day.

I ended up finding a shady park to eat.

There’s a lot, and I mean a ton, of suburban sprawl in Dallas proper. But if you look hard enough there’s some rather large areas of pre-WWII development.

I decided to go for a walk in the Swiss Avenue Historic District in Dallas.

Our old neighborhood home tours have been rubbing off on Scott.

Well, I pretty much just go for walks wherever there's interesting places to photograph.

There were some rad houses throughout the neighborhood.

Swiss Avenue felt like Dallas' answer to St. Paul's Summit Avenue.

The night was young, so I walked around Downtown Dallas a bit.

The compact downtown core quickly turned into a random tower surrounded by parking lots.

I ended my night at a random paleteria along Jefferson Boulevard.

Until next time, Dallas.

Yardwork, Ikea and Pumpkins

My new parents-in-law got us a dehydrator for the wedding. Knowing we were going to be cleaning up the garden and going to farmer's market, we took a gander at our millionth kitchen device during breakfast. Scott added granola to his oatmeal. The oatmeal was rather bland, just the way Brooke likes it. Scott was actually cleaning up so I had to take a quick photo of him as proof. Scott told me he was, "putting a blanket down for Peanut," while singing. During the winter months peanut needs a warm place to peer through the window. Seeing as it was nearly November, I setup his blanket for him. Seeing as the farmers market season is dwindling down, we headed to the market...once again. The close proximity to the cities central farmer's market has to be one of the best assets of living in NoMi. We were both amazed by the bounty of produce still on sale. We quickly filled up our first bag and took it back to the car....

2 Weddings (the Wedding) and a Scenic Drive Home

I woke up early and did finishing touches on the cake.

Backcountry Camping with Kids in Theodore Roosevelt National Park

Day 1 Back in May I stumbled upon Theodore Roosevelt National Park. I had no idea there was a National Park in North Dakota and that it was the northern end of the Badlands. Usually our summer vacations coincide with Scott's work trips. Since he didn't have any this summer I thought we should take advantage of actually taking a vacation. What, my workcations are always classics? I suppose a second real vacation this year wouldn't hurt. We definitely have more time than normal. As long as we took Covid-19 precautions and avoided people. We finally settled on a time to go. Blake joined us so we borrowed our dad's van so we could ride together. Scott had just driven from Michigan the day before. Blake had met my parents in Wisconsin to get the van and then drove from Duluth to pick us up. I offered to drive since I literally only drive twice a month. I was still pretty tired from a long drive home. Since we were near Fergus Falls we had to stop by the abandoned state ho...
