I'm going to try not to make this entire post about traveling with two toddlers and save that for another time -- because there is a lot to say on that topic. So I'm going to skimp on some of those particular details and keep things pretty general in that regard. But man! It's been …
Seattle
So this time, I get to flip the script. I’ve written about places I’ve been to before that Kevin had never visited, and now, I can write about the opposite. Kevin’s dad’s family almost entirely resides in Washington. His dad was born and raised there. Kevin can remember the many times that, as kids, he …
The Other Big Move: Fall 2018
"Where do you see yourself in 5 years?" I've been asked this question in almost every job interview I've had, and I'm sure I'm not alone. I've worked on crafting the answer to that question for the past few years. Usually, I've kept it very broad. Sometimes, I've outright responded with "Working for your company". …
‘Murica’s Murals
I'm too committed to alliteration at this point, hence the title of this post. So, hello! It's been over a month since I've uploaded anything, and I apologize. I left my Better Call Saul reviews by the wayside, and I'll have to wrap them up next week. I'll also post something next week that'll explain my …
8 Airports
Let me tell you the tale of how my husband went through 8 airports in 4 days, and I in 5. It all began last Friday when we took off from our home base, the Manchester-Boston Regional Airport. MHT is a small and simple place, with maybe a dozen gates making up a single terminal. …
Our 52 Weeks of Adventure, Part 2
It's Week 26 of 2018, folks! Kevin and I have now done 19 weeks of Outdoor Project's 52 Weeks of Adventure in total. While we're now at the halfway point of the year, we're just under halfway done with the challenge, which isn't bad at all. We've made up a lot of ground; we doubled …
Our 52 Weeks of Adventure, Part 1
Late last year, Outdoor Project uploaded a blog post kicking off the #52AdventureChallenge. They presented a printable graphic of "52 geological features and adventure themes" and spurred ideas on how to complete each one in separate posts. Being a connoisseur of anything related to the outdoors, my husband, Kevin, approached me with this graphic, and we …
Heading Home – New Year’s 2017/2018
Kevin and I had gone from opening presents on Christmas morning in Santa Maria to opening more presents the night of Christmas in Albuquerque. We were staying at my mom’s house, and she had picked us up from the airport. We unwrapped presents, ate and drank, and watched a few things on TV. It was …
Christmas in California
Santa Maria is a small town in central California, just over an hour north of Santa Barbara. Farming is huge in Santa Maria; you can drive around the outskirts and see nothing but fields of strawberries, broccoli, and other produce. Santa Maria has a rich history of barbeque, with locals establishing their own method of …
