• 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 […]

  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 […]

  Deep South Roadtrip: New Orleans Katrina tour

  Posted on August 3, 2009 by Dan in travel.

  So we arrived in New Orleans on Tuesday, and did a whole bunch of fun things before we went on this Katrina driving tour on Wednesday. But, I’ll post about those later. I figured we’d start with the heavy stuff and then talk about the restaurants and whatnot. The reverse somehow doesn’t feel appropriate. I […]

  Deep South Roadtrip: USS Alabama

  Posted on July 30, 2009 by Dan in travel.

  Picking up from last time, after we left Montgomery, we drove south to Mobile, straight to a hotel. Monday’s drive = About 9 hours, about 525 miles. We had volunteered to take all the leftover booze from the Savannah rental house, because we were driving right to Houston for another weekend of partying, which made […]

  Deep South Roadtrip: Tourism-Lite

  Posted on July 28, 2009 by Dan in travel.

  We left Savannah both celebrating our awesomeness for helping pull of such a great surprise, and also coughing, complaining and wishing for antibiotics. Well, that second part was just me. I had fully succumbed by Monday morning to Jess’s death cough and fever, and Dan had woken up feeling just great! Of course. On the […]

  Deep South Roadtrip: Savannah

  Posted on July 26, 2009 by Dan in friends, travel.

  Stop One on the roadtrip was Savannah for Ben and Jess’s surprise bachelor/bachelorette party. As I mentioned in the last post, Carrie and Brian had planned most of it – we rented a vacation house for the weekend, and basically partied it up. The house was supposed to sleep 7 people, and we had…18. And […]

• Deep South Roadtrip 2009: Introduction

  Posted on July 24, 2009 by Dan in friends, travel.

  So, the roadtrip evolved out of two separate events that happened to be one week apart in very different areas of the country, and also about as far as possible from where we live. Carrie, the maid of honor in Ben and Jess’s wedding, and Brian Baum, the best man, who many of us have […]
