NoCal Splendor / Humboldt County

I spent a few days with my brother Joe, his wife Lynda and their son Parker in Arcata, California this week. I am holding on to most of the family video and photos for Christmas gifts and such but I wanted to post some of what I saw. It’s a beautiful place and a near polar opposite to Dubai.


The trip was a big reconnect with family for me. Parker is a tough little kid with energy and a ton of curiosity. He has love at home and is not afraid of getting dirty. He mimics really well and is verbal once he gets to know you. He has his mother’s eyes and his dad’s chicken legs. He loves anything that fits in his hands. He will be baiting his own hook soon. I guarantee he will be changing the oil in cars before he can drive them but right now we are just working on going potty on his little thrown.
