Spring Break: 2010

After a very long and hard winter, The Husband and I treated ourselves to a weekend away.  We didn’t go far, opting to drive to Omaha for a romantic weekend.  Does the Henry Doorly Zoo and SAC museum count as romantic?  In our world it does.  I busted out of work early and we hit [...]

The Trip to Explain a Lifetime: Final Installment

Remember back in August when I went on a trip with my dad and brother to dad’s hometown?  Remember how I said the final installment would come soon?  Sorry about that.  Things have been a little more than crazy around these parts and before they get even more crazy, I thought I’d go ahead and [...]

BWE2009: The Panels

Despite the Valium hazed flight from Kansas City to Memphis (?!?) then on to Vegas, I arrived in one piece around 2200.  Waiting at the hotel for me was none other than Tammy Munson.  We ran up to our room so I could drop my bags and then headed out on the town in search [...]

The Trip to Explain a Lifetime (Part 2)

(part 1 here)

We left dad’s childhood home and drove a few blocks to the elementary school he had attended.  Anything that isn’t an adventure to a child seem so far away… such a long journey. Dad was amazed that the old school was less than 2 blocks from his house.  I was amazed because the [...]

Big Sky Country – Day 2

Our second day in Montana found us in the car again for a day trip to Yellowstone National Park.  The experience actually turned out to be a spiritual one for me for a couple different reasons:
1. I hadn’t adjusted to the altitude quite yet… and as we climbed higher at Yellowstone.  I spent about 40% [...]

Home Again

Well, The Husband and I rolled into town at 9:02 yesterday evening. We’re glad to be back in Kansas, but we already miss Montana. I’ll have updates tomorrow (hopefully!)

Big Sky Country Day 1

The day after we arrived in Montana my in-laws had a low-key day in mind.  The Husband and I truly appreciated it after being in the car for 18 hours within 2 days.  We toured Helena via foot, car and railroad tour trolley.  Our first stop was to the State Capitol where we participated in [...]

The Road

Tuesday after work, I hopped in the car with The Husband and we started our trek to Montana.  I knew this was going to be a long drive I just didn’t know how long it would feel.  We stopped in Sioux Falls Tuesday night to grab a few hours of sleep, then hit the road [...]
