4Runner Camper Conversion
**UPDATE** We easily retrofitted this platform for our 5th generation 4Runner and will try to get some pics/ dimensions posted! **ORIGINAL POST** With a 10 day Colorado road trip looming and an early 2017 three-week epic family adventure in the planning stages, Molly and I thought it might be a cool idea to turn […]

Steamboat Springs, CO
With a moniker suggesting a vast lake or river nearby but adjacent to neither, Steamboat Springs is an oddly named place. A quick Google search will inform any amateur historian that the name comes from the sounds emitted from the area’s numerous hot springs which early settlers likened to a steamboat. History aside, our trip […]

Little Green Lake, WI
Merry Christmas (in June)! Instead of traditional gifts, Molly’s parents decided to give the family an experience by way of a four day weekend at a lakehouse on Little Green Lake, Wisconsin. The house was set up perfectly for our large group including six adults and four kids. There was a nice dock on the […]

Knowing When to Pull the Plug

Believe it or not, there are yurting adventures to be had in the Midwest! In our case, it just took a six hour drive – a reasonable distance for a three day weekend. After the enormous success of our first yurt trip in southern Colorado, I surprised Molly by booking two nights at the Keewaydin […]

Camping With Crosby
You are seriously taking your eight month old camping?!?! This was the question Molly and I received from nearly everyone as we were planning our last getaway of the summer. We were both in need of some time to disconnect from the real world after a busy summer and hadn’t been to Michigan since our […]

V.A.B. (Vacation After Baby)
What? You need to be fed? What? You need to be changed? What? You need a nap? Why the hell are you still crying!?!? Grand plans of taking our six month old, Crosby, out west with another couple and their son were quickly shut down when the full reality of what being on a road […]

California Love
Leif is getting married!!!!! A couple of our best friends, Leif and Adrienne, who you may remember from our Going, Going, Back, Back to Cali, Cali post were getting married in Santa Monica, California. Even better, almost 20 of our college friends were making the journey west to join in the festivities….and leaving the kiddos […]
