Our week in Dubai saw us celebrating both our 17th wedding anniversary and Shae's 40th birthday.

A Quick Trip To Seattle: Here’s What We Did
Shae and I briefly paused our road trip last month to fly out to Seattle for a few days to celebrate our friend's birthday. We had a great time with Mark and Megan while we were there, but there's still so much we didn't get to see (such as the Space Needle) and so we're … [Read more...] about A Quick Trip To Seattle: Here’s What We Did
A Wonderful Whale Watching Experience In Seattle, WA
Last month Shae and I flew to Seattle to surprise one of our friends for his birthday. While we were there, the four of us went on a whale watching experience with Puget Sound Express which was simply awesome. We got to see a huge transient super-pod of orcas which the captain … [Read more...] about A Wonderful Whale Watching Experience In Seattle, WA
Some Downtime In Phoenix, AZ – Here’s What We Did
After visiting Tucson back in April, we headed up to Phoenix for a few day while we waited for Shae's mom and stepdad to fly in to join us for a week near Sedona. We liked the hotel we stayed at in Phoenix so much, we decided to return there the next month after visiting … [Read more...] about Some Downtime In Phoenix, AZ – Here’s What We Did
Visiting The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum In Tucson, AZ
Nine hours. That's how much time I spent at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum in Tucson, AZ over the course of 2 visits within 3 days of each other. I cannot recommend this museum highly enough. It's a must-visit if you find yourself in Arizona. It's part botanical garden, part … [Read more...] about Visiting The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum In Tucson, AZ
Two Weeks In Los Alamos, NM – Here’s What We Did
After spending a few weeks in Bloomfield, NM, Shae, Truffles and I moved on to Los Alamos for a couple of weeks. Los Alamos was home to the Manhattan Project which developed and built the atomic bomb, so we were keen on learning more about that. Unfortunately COVID meant we … [Read more...] about Two Weeks In Los Alamos, NM – Here’s What We Did
1 Month In Inverness, FL: Here’s What We Did
Talk about unfortunate timing! Shae and I booked a month-long stay in Inverness, FL just before COVID-19 cases really started spiking in the state. It was a non-refundable Airbnb reservation, so canceling it would've meant we'd have been severely out of pocket. We therefore … [Read more...] about 1 Month In Inverness, FL: Here’s What We Did
27 Photos From Our Manatee Swim
Shae and I spent the month of August 2020 in Florida. That wasn't ideal due to the spike of COVID-19 cases in the state, but we'd booked a month-long non-refundable Airbnb before that proved to be an issue, so we decided to stay there but avoid doing much in the state. The … [Read more...] about 27 Photos From Our Manatee Swim
Visiting The Cleveland Metroparks Zoo In Cleveland, OH
When we hit Ohio for the road trip *officially* in 2018, we knew we'd missed a ton since we spent most of our time with friends. There's so much to see and do in Ohio that is unexpectedly cool. I'm glad we were able to take some time to see more of it this summer (July 2020). … [Read more...] about Visiting The Cleveland Metroparks Zoo In Cleveland, OH
Visiting The Sedgwick County Zoo In Wichita, Kansas
Social distancing at the zoo, as it turns out, is an excellent idea. Things in Kansas are much more open than they were in Colorado. That's had its benefits - like going to the bookstore and getting my nails done. It's also had its downsides - like being some of the only … [Read more...] about Visiting The Sedgwick County Zoo In Wichita, Kansas
