The Wizarding World of Harry Potter (Summer 2019)
During our family trip to Disney, we took a day off from all things mouse to visit the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios. C and I spent many days reading the last few HP books aloud to each other many moons ago, and it’s been a real delight to introduce the girls…

Hawaii – Only 1.5 Years Late! (Christmas 2017)
I have had grand intentions of writing this blog post since Christmas 2017. It’s May 2019. Oops! Better late than never, though, so here we go!

Winter Park, CO (Winter 2018)
A full 15 months and a handful of incredible trips have passed by since my last post, but I’m committed to getting back on track in 2018, and this past weekend provided just the chance. C and I recently celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary and decided to commemorate the occasion with a long weekend in…

Mato Grosso do Sul – The Nebraska of Brazil (Fall 2016)
The last stop on our trip across Asia and Brazil was Campo Grande, a smallish city in the western Brazilian state of Mato Grosso do Sul. Mato Grosso do Sul borders both Bolivia and Paraguay and is one of Brazil’s agricultural hubs. Much like Nebraska, Mato Grosso do Sul’s main economic drivers are corn, soy,…
