We left Big Bend and headed to El Paso, which seemed a reasonable place to spend a work week between National Park destinations. We managed to have a perfectly normal workweek, wherein we did chores, went to the gym daily, cooked meals, and did all the regular day-to-day activities of an average week. El Paso… Read More A week in El Paso, Texas
No one accidentally ends up at Big Bend, despite it being so large it sounds impossible to miss. At over 800,000 acres (1200 square miles) on the Texas/Mexico Border, you would think it would be readily accessible from all directions, but the vastness of our country is shockingly apparent when you realize how long and… Read More A weekend in Big Bend National Park
Our first week-long stop was Austin, Texas. We arrived after an overnight in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, on a Sunday, and we are now departing on Friday. We managed to squeeze a lot into our short time here. We got to catch up with friends from Salem and friends from Virginia. We got to eat excellent… Read More Austin deserves more
I’ve not been great at keeping the socials current with our activities. But just because we are stationary at home for a few months, doesn’t mean we haven’t been exploring. We’ve been trying to enjoy our home state as much as possible this winter. And anytime we can combine Louie with playing tourist I am… Read More Florida Explorations
This weekend we headed three hours west to Crystal River, where the spring-fed waters are a magnet for chilly manatees. Five or so companies have licenses to bring a limited number of people out to passively swim with the manatees in their wild habitat. It was an absolute dream come true for me to snorkel… Read More Birthday dreams come true
This may be our family blog, but Kim does the bulk of the content. Today, however, we have a very special post, by my favorite guy on one of his favorite topics: NYC pizza. Larry was recently asked to give his recommendations for pizza in NY. This was the result of that simple request. You… Read More NYC Pizza Recommendations by Larry
We started our second year of nomading adventures relatively close to home. Well, at least in the same state. There’s been a cold snap across the entire country, and Florida has not been immune. So we went south. As south as you can go while still staying in the US. We went to the Keys… Read More The Keys, if you please
It has been a very busy month and I am going to upload a lot of photos to capture some of the incredible memories with the family. It was a whirlwind of a December. Shortly after I arrived, mom and I started the holiday season by decorating our homes and attending an excellent one-man performance… Read More The Holidays in Review
We squeezed a lot of living into our last two weeks in NYC. We had some incredible sights, sounds, food, drink, and experiences. We traveled several neighborhoods and sought out some of the remaining bucket list items of Peak Experiences. This final NYC post will probably have more detail than normal, but it feels right… Read More Late Post: Last two weeks in NYC
We had back-to-back company the past two weekends, and it makes our hearts glad to be able to have our friends come join us in NYC. First the Townes came in for a quick visit. We squeezed in a lot of good living in the two nights they were here. We had drinks and dinner… Read More Whirlwind of company
