San Francisco, Part 2
When we went to San Francisco the first time, we purposely skipped Alcatraz. Although we were obviously tourists, it just seemed too touristy. However, this time we read up, and Alcatraz was said to be worth it, even on the “Top 10 Things Not to Do in San Francisco” list. It was a good tour. [...]
San Francisco, Part 1
Almost 5 years ago, we went to San Francisco and Yosemite National Park on our honeymoon. We loved both of course. This week, Joel has a work conference in San Francisco. I had a free plane ticket, so it looked like a fun, but short, weekend was necessary. Here’s the rundown on our Saturday. We [...]
Pics
Here are a few pictures from when I was in Orlando. All but the last two are from the day we went to Epcot.
Steamboat
Two weekends ago, we skiing at Steamboat Springs. A few college friends were coming in town, and we were able to stay with our friends Gabe and Nina. This was my first time at a “real” ski resort. Fancy place, fancy people. The slopes were great for me, as they have a number of runs [...]
Christmas Post
We have returned from our former home to our new home. The break was long and quite nice, almost the perfect number of days. We spent a lot of time with family and a little time with a lot of friends. Here are a few highlights (starting with a non-highlight) from our trip. 1. We [...]
Thanksgiving
We originally planned on staying in Denver for Thanksgiving. When Matt & Erin invited us to Texas, and the flight down there wasn’t expensive, we decided to go for it! We had a lovely time, and we had a wonderful meal, almost exclusively prepared by Matt. Along with Matt & Erin, we got to spend [...]
The Drive
Since we’ve been here 2 weeks, it’s about time I posted! Here are a few pics from our drive here…more posts to come this week… What is this, Bonnaroo?? Nope, just a good ol’ race at the Kansas Motor Speedway.
Beaune, France
The next stop on our European adventure was Beaune, France, a small city in the Burgundy region. We arrived quite late due to train troubles, but our lovely hosts (couchsurfing again) were kind and picked us up at the train station. We enjoyed getting to know them while we were there, and they were very [...]
¡Barca Barca Barca!
Regarding our accommodations, we are happy to say that Barcelona was the only place we paid to stay – 3 nights of the whole trip! I’ll tell a little more about where we stayed below. In Barcelona, we hit the major Gaudí sites, like Parc Guëll, Casa Milá, and La Sagrada Família. Gaudí had quite [...]
Why do I have to have a title? This is about Madrid.
I should start by explaining Couchsurfing, as it comes up twice on our trip. Our friends Joshua and Tiffany introduced us to the concept, and now we’re semi-pro. Really. Anyway, couchsurfing is a hospitality network where you can ask to stay with people while you’re traveling, and people can ask to stay with you while [...]
