OMG! It’s the Ommegang Brewery
With the guiding hand of Josh's Aunt Lori we made the Ommegang Brewery stop number two on the Northeast brewery tour. Compared to Dogfish Head this one is very traditional, actually it's traditional compared to anything. They specialize in Belgium style beers, using mostly imported Hops to capture the correct flavor. I'm a big... Continue Reading →
Change of Perspective
Josh and I were fortunate enough to travel home this past weekend to see out families. Once reaching Illinois we parted ways, he north and I south. Both enjoying a blissful time with relatives and home cooking. While driving between the airport and home I was hit with a deep sense of nostalgia and change.... Continue Reading →
Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road
This is our second week in Texas and our second week of fun! Yeah I'm going to keep with the Texas is awesome phase for a little while. Last week put us in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and Waco, both crazy fun cities. While near Dallas we were able to have a home cooked meal... Continue Reading →
Sledding We Go

I will be posting is detail about the crazy stuff this week, but here is a summery. We spent the week... Continue Reading →

I want to share quick update on my Pops. He is home and resting; last week he had surgery to... Continue Reading →
That Face
I'm starting to feel a little bad for those of you out there who follow us to hear about the museums and fun history sites we visit. Our tour with the Library of Congress is so busy right now that there is little time to do fun stuff like that. Do not fear my followers... Continue Reading →
Patience My Dear, Patience
Right about now that is my mantra, patience. My dad is going to have surgery this week, they are going to stabilize the fractured vertebra. This procedure will allow the area to heal completely and relieve his pain. As I posted a few days ago he went back into the hospital, an infection had cause... Continue Reading →
Josh’s Vacation
When you spend 24/7 together like Josh and I do there are times that you take separate vacations. Like my Mexico trip this spring, Josh went to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area with his family for a weekend. He actually left a few days before the trip to work on our house. We have added...
