I was reading back through my post about our 2018 plans, and I found that I approached 2018 with all the big trips laid out already, with only a few weekends here and there left to fill in. A lot of those plans never actually materialized– we’ve had a very busy schedule of kid activities and […]

I’m not sure I’ve ever been to a city as proud of its bridges as Little Rock. To be fair, it has some very nice bridges. And you have to get across the river somehow, right? Might as well be on your choice of several lovely bridges.  Little Rock was our second stop on our […]

Travel dates: June 8-15, 2018 I didn’t grow up going to the beach. We lived north of Atlanta, so several hours from the coast.

I’m just going to come right out and say it: Crazy Horse Memorial is kind of a weird place. I didn’t know quite what to make of it, and I’m not sure it knows quite what to make of itself. More than anything else–more than a tribute to its namesake or to Native Americans in […]
