After months of quarantine, our little family of four (plus our over-sized dog) decided to make a road trip to South Dakota’s Black Hills National Forest and the Badlands National Park. The Black Hills National Forest is about 8.5 hours from Lincoln, so it’s a day’s drive, which meant that we didn’t need to worry … More The Black Hills & Badlands National Park
After many years of talking about it, we finally made it to Walt Disney World with the girls and my parents.

Torrential downpours followed by wicked winds and low temps made the first two days a bit of a … More VT – CT – NYC

It’s the end of May 2018 and I’m well behind on updating the blog.
