Angela and I recently returned from a short trip to Phoenix for our (roughly) annual trip to see the Fiesta Bowl. This year’s match-up between Ole Miss and Miami proved to be competitive, although a little sloppy. Luckily, the last seven minutes of the game were exciting enough to make up for the other three-and-a-half…

We recently returned from a family trip to Deer Valley, Utah, where we celebrated our fifteenth wedding anniversary with Fitz in tow. The weather was chilly and we spent most of our time together in front of the fireplace, although we did brave the frigid temperatures for some wintry hikes. More than anything, it was…

Angela, Fitz, and I recently celebrated my fortieth birthday with a relaxing trip to Southern California. We spent our time enjoying the beautiful weather while walking along beautiful trails and through San Diego’s largest park. It was yet another trip where we made great memories as a family. Bookings Hotels One suite for four nights…

Angela and I recently returned from a trip to Vietnam. While there, we explored Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, Hue, Da Nang, and Ho Chi Minh City (née Saigon). While we spent most of our nights in hotels, we were lucky enough to spend a pair of evenings sleeping on the water in Ha Long Bay.…

Angela and I recently visited Minneapolis for the second of this year’s bi-annual churning meetups. While there, we met up with our friends from around the country before heading to our first ever state fair for unhealthy (but delicious) food and carnival rides. The weather was lovely (certainly much better than when I visited in…

Angela and I recently returned from a trip to the island of Maui in Hawaii. We hiked, snorkeled, watched a beautiful sunrise, and spent time exploring the unique natural landscape. This was our first time on Maui and, while we enjoyed our time on the island, we didn’t feel like it lived up to its…

Angela and I recently returned from a trip to Austin for the fifth of my semi-annual credit card and travel enthusiast meetups. This was an extension of our trip to the Turks and Caicos Islands as we stopped on our way home rather than doubling back. Like always, it was excellent to see the people…

Angela and I recently returned from a trip to the Turks and Caicos Islands (henceforth referred to as TCI for brevity). We weren’t alone in paradise, though, as we were joined by my brother, James, his girlfriend, Mallie, our mother, Constance, and her partner, Paulette. We took this trip in the midst of our mother…

Angela and I recently returned from a rock-climbing trip to Greece. On the way home, we made a short stop in the Austrian capital of Vienna to see a performance at the State Opera House and explore the city. Our time in Greece was marred by a streak of cold, windy, and precipitous days that…

I recently returned from an impromptu trip to Green Bay, Wisconsin, to attend the Chicago Bears vs Green Bay Packers game at Lambeau Field. This trip was made possible by the generosity of my friend, Noah, who thoughtfully offered to take me when he found that he had an extra ticket available. Since I was…
