San Diego – day 5 (last one, I promise)

Day 5 didn’t involve much except for:
1.  Me trying to talk Eric into moving out there

2.  Flying home to KC.  This flight did not go as well at first.  I have to start out by explaining that Luke’s feet were touching the back of the seat in front of him because of the way his car [...]

San Diego – day 1

We left for San Diego last Thursday.  We decided to take an afternoon flight so Kenny could go to school in the morning.  This was Kenny’s 2nd flight and Luke’s 1st.  Luke didn’t understand that you don’t just walk onto your plane when you get to the airport and kept asking demanding to go to San [...]

I’m back

We just got back from San Diego.  We were gone for 5 days, which means I have a ton to do.  I’m off to try to catch up on things but I’ll leave you with an idea of what our trip was like…

Forget Omaha

I’m so excited.  Our good friends, Steve and Suzie Martin, just asked us to be the godparents to their little girl, Allison.
It looks like our Omaha trip (and Eric’s marathon) is off and we’ll be traveling to sunny San Diego instead.  We’re not complaining.

Do-able and domestic

We’re not going anywhere until September so I love reading about everyone else’s vacations.  Here’s my list of places that I want to go to.  There are a ton of other places on my wish list but these are do-able and domestic:
1.  Minneapolis – they have a new Water Park of America near the Mall of America.  [...]

Friday’s Favorite Destinations – San Diego

About this time last year we were out in sunny San Diego for my friend, Steve Martin’s (no, not that Steve Martin), wedding.  The weather was warm in the afternoon and cool in the evening.  It was perfect.  We were there for a wedding so we didn’t get to do everything that we wanted to [...]

Friday’s Favorite Destinations – Anchorage

I know a lot of people don’t make it to Alaska, but you should.  It’s beautiful up there and flying in over the mountains is just stunning. 
Time difference:
Anchorage is 3 hours behind KC (cst).
Where to stay:
I don’t have a great place to stay.  Our hotel was okay but nothing spectacular so I won’t mention its name. 
How [...]

Friday’s Favorite Destinations – Seattle

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Seattle?  Rain, right?  Don’t get me wrong, it does seem to rain more there but not 24/7 like some people lead you to believe.  For a while I was getting a ton of 36 hour layovers in the Emerald City so I got to [...]

Friday’s Favorite Destinations – Amsterdam

Since I spent a good 2 years as a non-stop traveler, I thought I would share things about my favorite places.  We’ll see if I can keep it up.  Please keep in mind that I visited most of these places pre-kids.  

(My first trip to Amsterdam, February 2001)
One of my favorite places that I went to (and [...]
