Right after Lakefest, we had the pleasure of hosting my Israeli family (the Almogs) for visits to both Asheville and Lake Gaston. We packed our Asheville days with mountain hikes, downtown exploration, a baseball game, and plenty of craft beer sampling. Hopscotch Music Festival in Raleigh never disappoints! We enjoyed all the usual traditions: Crowmeat Bob in the parking deck […]
“It’s Not Just a Wedding, It’s a Weekend“ We planned this wedding for almost two years, and it was important to us that we created the ultimate party environment. You only get one shot to get all of your friends and family together to party with you and we made the most of it! The Setup All guests stayed onsite […]
Gearing up for Lakefest 2025 with some petsitting, adventure drinking, and a trip to the Big Apple! Our good friend Christine threw us a pre-wedding “Adventure Drinking” party with our Raleigh friends. Each destination was determined by rolling a die that had a variety of specific bars and types of location (e.g., rooftop bar or bar w/games). It was well […]
Hey Snackheads! We’re back with another photo gallery post. We’ve been busy since our last check-in, including my bachelor party in Nashville, a wedding (plus hiking and camping) in Aspen, visiting lots of restaurants around Raleigh with Offline, and becoming Star Sitter’s on Rover! Quick shoutout to my incredible group of friends who joined me on my bachelor party. Y’all […]
Since our last post, we’ve picked up the trailer in Nebraska, drove it south to Texas, along our southern border to Florida, and back up to North Carolina, mostly along Interstate 10 – our last untraveled route between NC and CO. You can track our journeys (since getting engaged) on Stacey’s Google map — we’re now starting the ‘green’ track. […]

FRIENDS COME VISIT Kelcie and Stacey skied Snowbasin, we all met up at Unita Brewing, and she brought us Highlands beer! Tim & Michelle visited for backcountry and resort skiing (more below) Rubie & Lizzie drove down from Park City to ski […]

Like confused Canadian Geese, Stacey and I flock from East to West every year around this time. We’ve packed up our gear, said our goodbyes, and left NC for various mountains across the country. Family Fun: A Murder Mystery & Thanksgiving in Boston My mom’s 70th birthday was this year, so Stacey and I threw her (and all her friends) […]
Stacey and I were both in Asheville when Hurricane Helene passed through. The resulting damage was devastating and it will take years for Asheville to recover. My recollection of weathering the storm may be a bit lighthearted at times but my heart continues to go out to all those who are still recovering. At the time of the storm, the […]
Visiting Germany, France, Austria, and Switzerland with our friends, Curtis and Christine was an absolute blast! Shoutout to Christine for planning this whole trip and inviting us to (guten) tag along! (Pictures at bottom) BADEN-BADEN, GERMANY We flew into Frankfurt, Germany on Sept 14th and took the train to Baden-Baden, which translates to Bath Bath. As you may have guessed, […]
