Picture Galleries

Stefanie and I met in January of 2007. It didn't take me long to learn that, just like me, she had always dreamed of visiting Australia. When I decided to propose to her, I knew I wanted it to be something special and memorable. I knew it had to be in Australia. Here are a few of the over 3,500 pictures from our trip! They were taken in and around Sydney, at the Sydney Aquarium, Taronga Zoo, Featherdale Wildlife Park, and the Royal Botannic Gardens - which is where I proposed to her.

For our honeymoon, Stefanie and I wanted to be pampered, yet close to animals and adventure in a warm climate. Costa Rica was the perfect place for us. Over the course of 9 days, we explored many of the micro-climates and experienced much of the native (and introduced) flora and fauna. Check it out!

Stefanie and I are lucky to live about 45 minutes, door-to-door, from SeaWorld in Orlando. In this gallery are some of the better pictures we've taken of the animals at SeaWorld. There are no pictures of the rides, but they're just as good!

Stefanie and I are lucky to live about 40 minutes, door-to-door, from Gatorland in Orlando. However, we had never utilized this local attraction in the 4 years we had been together. It was her idea, not mine! Have I mentioned that I LOVE THIS WOMAN? She saw fit to end that dry spell and we both set out to experience Gatorland for the first time, on our 4 year anniversary together!

In this gallery are a few of the animals we saw. Living in Florida, we see gators all of the time. Somehow my camera kept pointing to the birds which we get to experience far less frequently!
