Roatan, Honduras
Every few years, my parents graciously take our family on a tropical vacation. We had spent the last two in Barbados and were ready for a change of pace. The consensus was that we wanted a place with less people, less restrictions, and less driving. Considerations ranged from the Cayman Islands to Belize to St. […]
We’re Going Going, Back Back to Cali Cali…
Molly and I had both been to California many times, but never together. One of our best friends from college, Leif, had lived in Los Angeles for a couple years and it was high time for a visit. To add to the celebration, it was Leif’s girlfriend Adrienne’s 30th birthday on December 4. Leif was […]
A Return to Pictured Rocks
The first time we had been to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, it was early in the season and the lake was still frigidly cold. Molly and I had talked about how much fun it would be to come back later in the summer after Lake Superior had warmed up a bit. So, with our 6 […]

Comanche Peaks Wilderness, CO
Molly’s 29th birthday was looming, but again, so was work. We wanted to get to Colorado this year and were determined to get a trip in, but plans kept getting pushed back and late September weather in the Rockies can get a bit dicey. Snow and cold be damned, we left for Fort Collins on […]
South Dakota and Wyoming
We were looking for a quick getaway over Memorial Day weekend and settled on a road trip through the tourist traps and parks of South Dakota and SE Wyoming. I had been to the area many times in my youth and knew Molly would enjoy (most of) it. Molly had been traveling like crazy for […]
