My mom is in town for the week, so I took today off from work. We had these great plans to go take some family pictures of my wife, daughter, and me (my mom's idea) and then we were going to spend the rest of the day visiting various waterfalls in the Columbia River Gorge. I was excited about taking pictures of the falls I haven't seen yet (not so much about the family photos). Well, neither of those happened. We got everything ready this morning and went out to my car to find that a window was broken and my stereo was gone. Actually, it wasn't just my stereo but the entire center console where the stereo was mounted. So I spent the morning on the phone with the police, the insurance, and the auto glass shop. Not the day I was hoping for. There goes some of my new camera or lens money...

And it's my birthday tomorrow, so my wife was joking that now she knows what to get me as a present.
