  • The father and son head west

    The father and son head west

    We never intended on leaving The Dalles so abruptly. Between the new job and finishing up the house, I really didn’t have time for much else. That includes my family, both immediate and extended. Fortunately, my brothers and sister all made trips to see us off before we left, but it was also to help…

    Dubai

    Part 2 of my adventure to Nepal with Approach Intl. We got into Dubai in the late evening. The flight was long, but not too bad. We both got good naps and felt pretty good upon arrival. Andy booked us a hotel just off the airport for our layover. After going through immigration, getting my…

    Part 1 of many about my adventure to Nepal with Approach Intl. Andy was flying in from Bozeman, and I was joining him in Seattle. It was a four hour drive up from The Dalles, so I was able to get in a bit of last minute time with my family before leaving them for…

    It’s December 31st, 2017, and here I am recounting the memories of this past year. Had I wrote this a couple weeks ago, the tone would be much different. The past two weeks has stretched our little family. So I will work backwards in events, to end on a cheerier note. Surrounding the Christmas season,…

  • Our Norwegian Adventure | Reykjavík

    Our Norwegian Adventure | Reykjavík

    I know. I know. Reykjavík is in Iceland not Norway, but it is tied to our Norwegian adventure. It will forever be part of that time when we went to Norway and had a little added bonus on our way home. We arrived at the airport not knowing where we would stay or if we would…

  • Our Norwegian Adventure | Bergen

    Our Norwegian Adventure | Bergen

    Elijah had another successful night sleeping away in our old Bergen home away from home. His schedule was back to being somewhat normal which made for an easier trip for all of us. It helped us to really enjoy the rest of our time in Norway. We frequented the local grocery store Kiwi in Tromsø…

    Our Norwegian Adventure | Long Travel Day(s)

    Our Norwegian Adventure Long Travel Day(s) We started off our first day of travel by waking up too early in the morning. Elijah decided that he was way to excited about his first international trip that he needed to wake us up at 5 a.m. We knew that it would be a long couple days…

  • A Weekend of Firsts

    A Weekend of Firsts

    Last Thursday, Elijah and I took off on his first commercial plane ride with my good friend and her little lady. We headed to the East Coast to visit our friend and her family. We had a great time going into Washington, D.C. for two days and spending the rest of our time relaxing and…

    Pittsburgh and the G7

    I recently was “transferred” for my job. I am still based out of Bozeman, but am now part of the Information Systems team for the parent company, Woodard & Curran. As you might recall, I traveled to Portland, ME in the Fall of 2014, this was to visit the very same company. One of my…

    Year in Review – 2014

    The nice thing about operating a blog, is that you really don’t have to write a long essay on the adventures of the last year, you’ve already done that. However, people don’t always read all the posts, and may have missed out on a few things. So here is the year in summary.   The…

    We got back on that double decker bus one more time, to return to the airport, to return home. We had a long day ahead of us. It was sad to be at the end of such a wonderful trip, but we left without regret on the time spent. From the window outside our terminal,…

  • Scotland Day 6 – The Holyrood Walk

    Scotland Day 6 – The Holyrood Walk

    The car had to be returned by 10 am, so we had a relaxing morning in our little attic apartment atop the spiral stair. The living room had a large bookshelf with a wide assortment of books, so we spent some time looking at the selection. We had plenty of time, so we ventured out…
