Lady Antebellum – Perfect Day I don’t know about you, but we made the very most that we could of our recent three-day Memorial Weekend. By Monday night, I couldn’t remember what we had done Saturday morning until we went back through these pictures. 🙂 Before we get started, please hit the refresh button on […]
They Don’t Call It Yosemite For Nuttin’
In a place with a bank called Bank, a cafe called Cafe, and two restaurants called Restaurant, the old 49er town of Mariposa holds some charming treasures. By the time we had showered up Saturday night after a very long day, we were starving and looking for a good meal. At first we thought we’d […]
Yosemite Sam, Oh Yes We Am
Because our weekends in Northern California are numbered, Lea and I decided to make a bucket list of things we want to do before moving to Los Angeles in August (I’m going back to school, but this post isn’t about that). At the top of our list…Yosemite National Park! We’ve lived in Northern California almost […]
Kickin’ it with Brisket
It was just last weekend we went to our friends Lynn & Christian’s place for a backyard BBQ to kick-off the summer season that prompted a conversation, and on some levels a challenge, about smoked brisket. Smoked brisket is one of the pit master classics. To smoke a good brisket is to play in […]
Arnie Turns 80!
Just two weeks after our trip to Puerto Vallarta with Lea’s family, we met up with them again – only this time in Mesa, AZ – to celebrate the birth of famed Grandpa, Arnie Prohaska! Loved by all for his pranks, quick wit, sweet demeanor, and baby blues, I don’t believe Arnie has ever […]
Puerto VaLarta
It’s hard to believe it was four months ago that we were in Puerto Vallarta with Lea’s family. The trip fell toward the middle of one of the busiest times of my entire life, and I was really happy to have it. Besides the natural beauty of the area and no rules apply general […]
Relax, Let Your Email Do The Work
So…you may have noticed some radio silence on the blog recently. Well, it’s not because we haven’t had any fun. We have! Lots of fun. It’s just that a few other things came up, and it feels like we suddenly time traveled 3 months into the future. Where did February, March and April go?! I’m […]
Lovable
We’ve just returned from a three-day weekend in Gold Canyon, AZ celebrating the marriage of one of the most lovable couples we’ve ever known – Ryan and Kelly Lampe. Thursday We arrived in PHX Thursday evening, met our friends Tom & Tori at the airport, and headed straight for a BBQ at Kelly’s parent’s vacation […]
Alamere Falls
A friend from work told us about a hike she’d recently taken that followed miles of coastline and finished at the end of a cascading waterfall that crashed directly onto the beach and washed out to sea. Clearly, we had to check this out! The hike is on the Palomarin Trail, the southern-most trailhead in […]
Keep Tahoe Blue (and White)
Oh! What an incredible weekend. If I could create a time machine and go to any time in history, I would go back to this weekend. It was a long weekend thanks to the MLK Jr. Holiday, so we made the most of our time and took a trip to Lake Tahoe! My friend Morgan […]
