It has become a Labor Day tradition for Kim and me to take off on a long drive for the day, just to see what we can see.

We spent our last day in Chilean Patagonia exploring the spectacular fjord of the Pia Glacier.

Just outside Hilo is one of the most famous waterfalls on the Big Island, Rainbow Falls.

The eastern side of the Big Island of Hawai'i, the Hilo side, is a whole other world...

The west coast/Kona side of the Big Island, where we stayed, is very different from the east coast/Hilo side.

While our primary reason to go to Yellowstone National Park was for photographing wildlife, you can't visit Yellowstone without checking out what made it famous to begin with.

Lamar Valley, in the northern section of Yellowstone National Park, could not be more beautiful!

As we've been doing the past few years, Kim and I planned a little day trip for the Saturday of Labor Day weekend, heading south toward Madison on the Ohio River.

I LOVE autumn...it's my favorite season!

While other Sea Bird passengers had their turn whale-watching, we were shuttled via zodiaks to the Baja beaches to explore the sand dunes.
