  Highlights of home

  Posted on November 8, 2009 by Dan in family, friends, growing up, travel.

  So after the Gorge trip, and working a couple of weeks, I headed back to the East Coast for a week. Dan didn’t come with, because when we were making plans, we were unsure about his work stuffs. It ended up being a good thing – he got called for some interviews while I was […]

  Pacific Northwest: Miscellaneous

  Posted on November 7, 2009 by Dan in concerts, food, travel.

  While we drove all the way up to Washington primarily for concerts, we did manage to do some other stuff too. In between the second and third shows, we took a side trip to Idaho. Because…when the heck else would we ever be in Idaho? Granted, we didn’t get very far inside the border, but […]

  Posted on October 21, 2009 by Dan in concerts, travel.

  So, the big trees happened. About 13 hours of travelling happened. Onto day 2. We spent the first night in Albany, Oregon I believe, which is a bit south of Portland. We hung a right at Portland and found ourselves in the Columbia River Gorge. Which is full of those “wow, this is really gorgeous” […]

  Posted on October 9, 2009 by Dan in travel.

  Disclaimer: I was going to write this post tomorrow night, as I have a pretty rockin headache this evening. But tomorrow, we have to take the cats to the vet, and as it’s a production even getting them in their carriers, I think tomorrow I’m just going to want to sit down with a couple […]

• Pacific Northwest Roadtrip: The build up

  Posted on October 5, 2009 by Dan in concerts, travel.

  This story actually starts in April of this year, when Dave Matthews Band released their tour dates for this summer and fall. As many of you know, I’m a pretty devoted (read: crazy) fan, and go to at least one show a year. Since we’ve moved out here, Dan and I have seen them play […]

  The time Phish crashed our friend’s wedding

  Posted on September 28, 2009 by Dan in friends, growing up, travel.

  Holler, I’m finally getting around to posting (Franklin’s) pictures from Ben and Jess’s wedding, which was now about 5 weeks ago. The entire weekend was pretty gorgeous. Dan and I took the red eye to Albany on Thursday evening. I literally left the unit after training my RA staff since 10 AM, and went directly […]

  City Walk: Eureka Valley

  Posted on September 18, 2009 by Dan in city walks, friends, San Francisco.

  We really have been in the Bay Area for selected parts of the summer, I promise. During part of that, Deborah was staying with us (before she abandoned us to move to Australia I mean) and one of the things she really wanted to do was go on a city walk with us. So to […]

  Wedding pictures for Uncle Mike

  Posted on September 16, 2009 by Dan in friends, growing up, travel.

  The culmination of the Deep South Roadtrip was Brian and Christy’s wedding in Houston. Honestly, pretty much everyone who reads this blog was there but I thought Uncle Mike might enjoy seeing some fabulous photos. Plus, the roadtrip series needed a finale entry, don’t you think? I had the BEST time with you all in […]

  Wow. This post is so late it’s irrelevant.

  Posted on September 15, 2009 by Dan in food, travel.

  New Orleans what? Right, so two months ago, we were in Louisiana. We did a lot in two days. You’ve seen the ninth ward photos, and the swamp boat tour, which were the highlights. Also, we ate a lot. There is SO MUCH GOOD FOOD in New Orleans. So, as a quick recap, we toured […]

  Muddah Nature In His Act

  Posted on August 20, 2009 by Dan in travel.

  Hellllooo??? Is anyone out there??? It’s been 17 days since our last writing. I feel like I need to visit a confessional for my sins of not writing lately. If you haven’t noticed, KK does most of the writing, but as she’s been overloaded with training for the past 2 weeks, so now is my […]
