Documenting Our Travels
Travel is a vital part of our life. We want to share it with you. We love to travel. We love to take pictures. Put this together with a knack for technology and a flair with language, and you have a recipe for a great travel website. Now if only I had more time...Pictures Tumbling
We take a lot of pictures when we travel, and I wanted a less formal means to share them with a large audience. I use our main site, RJNuckolls.com for describing our travels and interests rather than showcasing photographs.
CoolIris 3D
This domain uses the CoolIris plugin from www.CoolIris.com. This allows for an amazing fullscreen, 3D presentation of the thumbnails and photographs. It is used by some of the biggest images sites on the web, such as Flickr, MySpace and Google Images. I recommend it to anyone with a high-speed Internet connection.

Mount VernonPlenty of people were out at Mount Vernon this day because the weather was fair. We had lunch at Popeyes and went to the estate afterwards.
We visited the mill and distillery after seeing the house and grounds. I was disappointed to learn they do not produce whiskey anymore.See Pictures
WashingtonWe have visited Washington twice together. We saw Arlington Cemetery over Christmas, and then visited Smithsonian museums in the spring.
The Smithsonian museums are on The Mall, a strip of park which runs from the Capitol to the Washington Monument.See Pictures
JamestownI tried to get some good shots of the ships at dock. The Godspeed fired its cannons as it came in.
The people who work at Jamestown, and cook and clean and recreate the fort really bring the site to life.See Pictures
WilliamsburgWe stayed at the hotel next to the entrance to Colonial Williamsburg. We would walk from the hotel about a quarter of a mile to the center of the town.
The Governor of the Virgina colony lived in Williamsburg, in grand style and at great expense, as was expected.See Pictures
SkiingWe enjoy a ski trip to Colorado each year and get to visit with relatives. We normally have a long drive from Tulsa to Denver. It can be a long trip for a single day.
This year we rented a condo in the mountains so we could spend less time each day driving to the ski resort.
We take a sack lunch for seven and eat at the ski lodge.See Pictures
Scenes of LondonWe stayed in two hotels in South Kensington and walked around exploring the area. We eventually found a flat we liked in Camden.
