SIX in Chicago (May 2022)
The day after school let out for the summer, we took off to Chicago for just one night to see the musical SIX, which is about the six ex-wives of Henry VIII. SIX became a family favorite over the holidays and was on constant repeat for months. We couldn’t wait to see this all-female show!…

Ski Weekend in Breckenridge (Winter 2022)
As longtime skiers in New England, my parents had wanted to try skiing in CO many, many moons ago, but “someone” managed to tear two ACLs and a MCL in high school and the trip never happened. Two decades later, we finally did it! The four of us, plus my parents, met in Breck for…

A Trip to Tampa for Two (Fall 2021)
In October/November 2021, C and I took a quick trip to Tampa, Florida. C was inducted into the National Academy of Inventors, and I wanted to be with him for this exciting honor.

This post is two years overdue, but in my efforts to catch back up on the blog, let’s just all imagine it’s Christmas 2019 — our last pre-pandemic holiday and our last family trip without the shadow of Covid. We alternate which family we visit over the holidays, and on odd-numbered years we travel to…

The Black Hills & Badlands National Park (Summer 2020)
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 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 about…

Walt Disney World (Summer 2019)
After many years of talking about it, we finally made it to Walt Disney World with the girls and my parents. The girls were the perfect ages (almost 9 and newly 6) to enjoy all of the magic of Disney, and the suspended reality of Disney World was a welcomed break for all of the…
