Catching Up!
Whew! We have been busy busy busy! There were the changes to the itinerary, the epic saga (now over) involving the car, Kate’s birthday, my birthday, lots of chasing Marilyn around, on top of research for the trip and, of course, work.  We’re so glad that we have Sofi (our Subaru) back...
Roadtrip Planning: Where to go?
Where to go? What to see? What to do? What route to take? Which places to avoid (at all costs) and which places to make it to (no matter what)? These were only a few of the many questions that Brett and I asked ourselves as we planned this road trip. I had read several travel blogs about other people’s...
Photo Of The Week - March 25
Low tide and a bright orange sunset over a pier in Half Moon Bay, California. I snapped this photo during our sailing trip out to San Francisco in January of this year. We were on our way to dinner and I made Kate stop to capture this image before we continued on our way.
Soon to be: On The Road
Not knowing whether we will have another U.S. Road Trip in our future, Brett and I have decided to expand the route of our 2009 road trip scheduled to last at least 9 months to include a few more of the places we would like to see. We will start by driving Route 66 West from Chicago to California. Then...
Photo Of The Week - March 18
The leaves had really started to come down on the day I was able to get away from my desk at work for a quick lunch time photo session. This photo was taken in downtown Indianapolis’s Lockerbie Square neighborhood. The window box was cluttered with quite a few colorful leaves, making it hard to...
Happy 1.5yr Bday Marilyn!
Marilyn and I spent the day together this past Tuesday and had a ball.  She arrived as I was having breakfast and seemed quite intrigued by my clementine so I offered her a bite.  She was completely thrown by the texture and after sticking it in her mouth, it came right back out. As you can see in...
Roadtrip Planning: Where to sleep?
Planning for a 9 month road trip leads to many logistical questions - one of which is where to spend those 250+ nights? Brett and I have a several ideas on how to answer that question. The easiest solution is camping. We have all of the necessary gear: tent, sleeping bags, sleeping pads, etc. However,...
Photo Of The Week - March 11
One of the many signs that spring is upon us is when baseball starts up again. This photo was taken last year in Tampa, Florida at the spring training home of the Yankees on spring training’s Opening Day. The Yankees were playing a local college team. It was a beautiful spring day. I’m looking...
Happy Birthday Brett
We had a fabulous weekend for Brett’s birthday. It was crazy warm with a high of 70+ degrees. The family got together Friday night to celebrate. We had breakfast for dinner. Even though the get-together was in honor of Brett, he was busy in the kitchen. He chose to cook for his birthday instead...
Snowshoeing In Indy
Finally! A decent amount of snow! And it hung around for a few days! Kate and I really enjoy snowshoeing, and this storm was the first real chance that we’d had all winter to get out and play in the snow. We loaded our snowshoes into the car and drove to Southeastway Park.  It was about 40 degrees...
