Tis the month for holidays and weddings! We started off October with our first road trip up to New Jersey for Amanda & Ryan’s wedding at Perona Farms. It was a quick, but fun trip! Snackbox even got in on the action and got to spend a little time with the bride! We’ve started taking a new route up north […]
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, […]
We spent most of August circling around North Carolina visiting friends and family. At the end of August we spent a few days at the lake with Jeremy’s sister, Carly, and her family. We also made our way down to Charlotte where Snack Box got to make some new friends watching football at Stevie & Haley’s house. After that we […]
We’ve been in the good Old North State for a little under 3 months now continuing our organized randomness lifestyle primarily in Raleigh, Asheville, and at the lake in Littleton. Lakelife: We started off our return with two lake weekends at the end of May and the again for the 4th of July. We got in some tubing, brought out […]
I’ve been going to Teppanyaki (Kanki, Benihana, etc.) for my birthday for most of my life. It’s a bit silly but I like the food, the show is fun, and it always feels like a celebration. It’s always a good time. So when Stacey gifted me Kanki’s Master Chef course, I was through the roof. The course is 90 minutes […]
We’ve spent about 10 days, slowly traveling from Texas, back to NC, where we finally had our chance to explore the states of the ‘deep south’. This is the end of our cross-country trip, but certainly not the end of our travels. As a ‘homeful’ couple (as Stacey likes to say), the travels never end. NC is our ‘home’ because […]
Welcome to Texas! Bring on the heat, dust, and big trucks and leave your vegetables at the border. We spent the next six days driving across Texas. Our first day we only dipped our toes in by staying at New Mexico’s oldest winery that happens to be a couple of miles from the NM-TX border. The closest restaurants were in […]
The Snack Box, Stacey, and I are back in the RV! We love our little camper trailer and were very excited to get back to our life on the road, where we’ll spend most of May. Johnson’s Itty Bitty Farm Our first stop took us to Johnson’s Itty Bitty Farm in Boone, CO, where we met some of the most […]
It’s Coulier Season, baby! For those asking yourself, “What is he talking about this time?” I’ll explain: Wikipedia says, “A couloir may be a seam, scar, fissure, or vertical crevasse in an otherwise solid mountain mass.” Skiing these features can be super dangerous due to avalanche danger… But in April, the snow pack begins to become safer — hence, Coulier Season. In […]
