Zuma Beach

Well hey there!  It’s been a while!  I nearly forgot my password to log-in to update this thing… I have an overall update post in mind, but I’m dying to tell you about Saturday morning – an experience we won’t soon forget. It started a couple weeks ago when Lea and I met some new […]

The Station

This is what I learned this week… Tucked away in our subconscious minds is an idyllic vision. We see ourselves on a long, long trip that almost spans the continent. We’re traveling by passenger train, and out the windows we drink in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving at a […]

Sunday Funday!

Good grief.  I’ve heard some recent debate as to the proper assignment of the “B” in the term, B-school.  Business…B grades…what about Busy!  My Sunday Funday feels like eons ago, and I apologize for the delay.  If I may be brief and under serve the true awesomeness of the day…we met up with JP’s good […]

Newport Beach Harbor Cruise

As we all know, though some may have forgotten by now, last weekend was Labor Day.  JP came down from The Bay and Saturday evening we hooked up with his friends, Guy and Terry, for a cruise on their boat around Newport Beach Harbor!

Sedona Suite, the Sequel

After our morning hike, we had the rest of the afternoon to explore some of the shops around Sedona.  Our first stop was at Son Silver West Gallery on Hwy 179, about two miles south of town, and we walked out with our arms full!  Which is funny because, by the looks of things on […]

Sedona Suite

The road trip story continues!  We’ve been home two weeks now, but the blog posts keep coming.  😉 As I mentioned last time, we were celebrating our second wedding anniversary, and Sedona is as romantic as it comes in the Desert Southwest.  As such, we planned our perfect day, which starts with a good brekky.  […]

Road to Sedona

Day three take us from Amarillo, TX to Sedona, AZ by way of New Mexico! View Larger Map Our day started around 8AM, I think…  To be honest, we were really turned-around on the time considering that at some point we crossed into a new time zone, and then we crossed a state line that […]

Beat the Heat

Please excuse my absence – I just got back from a three day “communications workshop” for school, which got in the way of more important things…like telling you about my fun with Tyler and Katelyn!  For those of you who don’t know, Oklahoma in August is like the inside of a dog’s mouth.  No offense…  […]

On the Road Again

  Wednesday was the official start of our road trip.  Counting the unplanned leg from Minneapolis to Des Moines, Google Maps estimates the total trip at just over 2,200 miles! View Larger Map It just so happens that my sister, Robyn, and her family recently moved into a new house in Norman, OK, which is […]

Home Again, Home Again, Jiggity Jig

When we left off last time, we were in need of a drink.  Later that day… Bob’s margaritas!  While the recipe looks simple, that’s really the beauty of it.  He’s spent tireless summer evenings perfecting this recipe, and I can personally attest that they are they best margaritas.  Period. You’re welcome: 1 part tequila 1 […]
