After spending some time in Colorado Springs and Montrose, our final stop in Colorado was Denver. Shae and I ended up spending a total of six weeks in Denver as we figured it would serve as a good base to not only visit places in the city but a little further afield … [Read more...] about 17 Great Places To Eat & Drink In Denver, CO
Quirky Things To Do
Trying Rocky Mountain Oysters (Bull Testicles) For The First Time
When is seafood not seafood? When they're Rocky Mountain Oysters. That's because Rocky Mountain Oysters aren't oysters. They're what Texans call 'calf fries' which gives a hint as to their origin. In case you didn't know, Rocky Mountain Oysters are deep-fried bull … [Read more...] about Trying Rocky Mountain Oysters (Bull Testicles) For The First Time
Our Dead Sea Experience: Floating, Mud & Tequila Shots!
Weird. That's the best way to describe what it's like to go floating in the Dead Sea. Shae and I got to experience it recently while visiting Jordan as part of Shae's 40th birthday extravaganza, but that's not all. We also got to have a mud bath experience and used the Dead … [Read more...] about Our Dead Sea Experience: Floating, Mud & Tequila Shots!
1 Week In Dubai: Here’s What We Did

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.

Visiting The American Sign Museum In Cincinnati, Ohio
Other than Portsmouth, VA where we used to live before setting off on our 50 state road trip, the city we've visited most often over the last 10-15 years has been Cincinnati. We really like Cincinnati, but that's not the reason we've returned so frequently. Instead, it's … [Read more...] about Visiting The American Sign Museum In Cincinnati, Ohio
Our Week In Biloxi, Mississippi (Spoiler Alert: It was Awesome!)
When we mentioned we were planning to spend 3.5 weeks in Mississippi, everyone said they thought it was 3 weeks too long. I definitely wish we'd spent 10 days in Biloxi instead of Jackson. With only a week in Biloxi, it just wasn't enough. I couldn't get enough of the beach, … [Read more...] about Our Week In Biloxi, Mississippi (Spoiler Alert: It was Awesome!)
