Home for the Holidays

We spent The Holidays in warm and (mostly) sunny Arizona this year with Brianna's family. Here are a few pics of our adventures. Our camera's battery decided to run out half way through our vacation and we forgot the charger, so this limited sample will have to suffice.




Highlights included meeting our adorable new niece for the first time, playing with our intrepid 20-month-old nephew, and a road trip in the trusty family 'burb with plenty of "together" time to Sedona, the Grand Canyon, and the ghost town Jerome AZ to try the should-be-famous Haunted Hamburger.

We also participated in the first ever Stoker Swing-4-Bling chip n' putt contest, some intense games of wallyball dominated by my mum-in-law, a hike up Camelback Mountain, s'mores round the campfire, LOTS of great food, and the all the great traditions associated with Christmas.

Stokers, thanks for the wonderful vacation! Returning to a week of snow and frigid temperatures in Columbus makes applying for residency programs in Arizona sound very appealing.

Scottie and I flew into AZ this Christmas break and we decided we want to live there one day to avoid cold winters!!! Your trip looks like fun!

Hey, Justin. My boss is an assistant professor in the radiology program at U of A in Tucson. He goes there for a week every month. That would be awesome if you could get into that school for your residency. Only problem is the heat in the summers make up for the lack of it in the winter.
