In my head I wanted to have this done the day we moved. Missed that deadline by, uh, a lot. I don't want to dwell too much in the past...

We suddenly have plenty of family in Phoenix. My sister has lived there a while and her family has been growing. Her in-laws are all there. Now my parents made the leap to the desert after living their entire lives in Minnesota. This is our primary reason to travel (or perhaps move) there and we just got back from another excursion. It certainly doesn't hurt the weather is lovely this time of year while winter persists in Minnesota. There's also another reason I really like A

We had time for one last short trip before the move. The timeline aligned with my birthday and my wife let me decide where to go (and...

While I wasn't excited to move to Maryland when we made the jump in 2014, I've since come to love a number of aspects of living here. One...

We won't be traveling to Minnesota for either Thanksgiving or Christmas this year, with the baby due in December. So we decided to go in October instead and see family and friends, and just returned to Maryland last weekend. As we've done in years past around Christmas, we drove back. That way we'd have our own vehicle and we could bring our dog instead of boarding him. We didn't want to fly and attempt forcing our son to wear a mask either, which wouldn't work out. Making it

Think of me what you will, but a friend and I traveled to Las Vegas this past weekend. After getting a few nights comped at the Palazzo...
