Big Stuff
Due to our blog-slacking, we have not informed the internets of two big items in our life… 1. Trip to South America – After four years of saving money and miles, we finally got enough frequent flyer miles to go to Patagonia! We’re heading to Chile and Peru, so come next week, we’ll be in [...]
Texas Time
Last month, we made the trek to the Dallas area to visit Matt, Erin, Evie, and their new baby Amelia! The drive wasn’t bad, and we had a great time visiting.
Beach weekend!
My best friend Brittney is getting married soon, so we had a fun pre-wedding weekend at her parents’ place in Destin, FL. It was just me, Brittney, and her friend Molly, and we had a lovely, relaxing weekend. I, of course, got a crazy sunburn…oh, the life of an office worker.
5 Years!
A couple of weeks ago, we had our 5th anniversary. For our honeymoon in 2005, we went to San Francisco and Yosemite National Park. When Joel needed to go to San Francisco a few months ago (part 2, part 3), we figured that would be our main anniversary celebration since it was almost 5 years [...]
Outer Banks
A couple of weeks ago, we met up with Joel’s family at the Outer Banks of North Carolina. It was Matt & Erin’s 10th anniversary, and they wanted their families to hit the beach together. Besides the shock of humidity, we had a great time. Here are some pictures from the trip. Early celebration of [...]
Grand Canyon, part 3
I’m getting a little behind here, but what we woke up to at the North Rim was…snow! Surprise! We packed up quickly and headed out of there! The drive between the rims boasts some great sites. The Navajo Bridge has spectacular views over the Colorado River and surrounding cliffs. In the background of the photo [...]
Grand Canyon, part 2
We slept alright considering the outrageous winds, but we wanted to get an early start. We headed out towards the east entrance of the canyon, making a couple of stops along the way. We hit Grandview Point: and Lipan Point, which was the worst wind we encountered. I’d say we were out of the car [...]
Grand Canyon, part 1
First, if you are interested in doing a trip like this, be prepared to drive. A lot. I knew this was the case, so I signed Joel up for it. He’s a champ at distance driving. When we arrived in the park, after 3+ hours of driving from Phoenix, I am proud to announce that [...]
Joel’s Surprise
A while back, Southwest had a great sale on fares out of Denver. I took advantage of it on a whim…and we are off to the Grand Canyon! I got $30 one-way tickets to Phoenix for us, so we’re having a whirlwind long weekend. Joel didn’t know where we were going until this morning, although [...]
San Francisco, Part 3
We began our day with breakfast at Dottie’s True Blue Cafe. It was excellent, and we highly recommend it to anyone visiting San Francisco. It wasn’t the cheapest breakfast, and we had to wait in line for a while even though we got there around 8:15, but it was sooo good. In fact, Joel went [...]
