Omaha to Moab

We followed the Mormon Trail (jk) from Omaha to Moab with a stopover in Denver to see Emily. The drive through Nebraska was exactly as C remembered it from years past. I was in love with the amount of space – and steaks. Er….cattle. We stayed at a super luxury, 5 star La Quinta Inn … Continue reading

Just because we never camp…

Doesn’t mean we don’t know how.

Fun family weekend in Omaha!

We had an awesome Mother’s Day weekend in Omaha! We drove from Brooklyn, MI to Omaha in 11 hours exactly. Including a stop at Olive Garden for dinner – thanks Ted and Shannon! The temperature changed quite a bit throughout the day – from 74 to 53 and back – but we ended with a … Continue reading

Brooklyn to Brooklyn

We left Brooklyn, NY on April 28th and landed in Brooklyn, MI today. Our cousin Pete brought his Formula SAE team (he’s club president) from Stevens Institute of Technology to MI for the annual competition. The car looked and sounded awesome. We saw the tilt test and C got to talk to a bunch of … Continue reading

Old haunts and haunted new ones…

Boiler Up! We stopped at Purdue University on our drive from Batesville, IN to Brooklyn, MI. It was fun to see where C went to school and while we couldn’t get inside to test the temperature (hmmm – suspicious?), I can confirm the existence of the Cold Air Dorm. C can explain sometime if you’ve … Continue reading

Lovin’ Batesville!

Thank you, Ted and Shannon, for a really fun mid-week weekend!

Birmingham to Lexington…and beyond!

We had a great drive from Birmingham to Lexington. We stopped in Chattanooga to see the Chattanooga Choo Choo – a train museum and hotel they built in the old station. You can even book a room in a rail car! For lunch we stopped at a Golden Corral. We will definitely be back! We … Continue reading

Birmingham weekend

We had an awesome weekend in Birmingham. Thank you again to Shawn and Emily! On Derby Day we spent a couple hours at the dog track, betting on races there and at Churchill Downs. Shawn was the big winner, picking Orb to win in a variety of combinations. None of our guesses yielded any winnings, … Continue reading

Thank you, Nashville!

We had an awesome time in Nashville! We got some great advice (thanks, Jill!) about places to go, see, eat, drink and listen. The music is really incredible. We went to Robert’s and Station Inn for the jams, Puckett’s for the fried chicken, Fido’s for the Huevos Cubano and the farmer’s market for delicious chocolates. … Continue reading

Asheville to Pigeon Forge

We had a great day today. We started with a continental breakfast at the Downtown Inn and then headed to the Biltmore Estate. $59 each admission, so we watched the 4 minute looping video in the visitors center, used the restroom, and vowed to Google it later. We grabbed some sandwich supplies at the local … Continue reading
