We are going on hiatus for a couple of weeks. Our wedding is about two weeks away and we just don't have the time to post right now. We will return to our usual Wednesday and Saturday schedule the week of October 15th with a recap of our honeymoon trip to New York. Thanks for …
It Was a Busy Few Days
Last weekend, as I have previously written, was a baseball weekend with Josh. On Friday night, we went to Milwaukee and had great seats. We sat in the third row just off to the third base side of home plate. We were so close, we could almost reach out and touch the guys in the …
I Want to Stay Home???
Steven is on the road so I thought I would write for him. Plus, I forgot (I know, I know, terrible!) to write on Saturday, mostly because I feel like I haven't left a three-mile radius since August. I always thought it would be interesting to travel for work. Maybe I wouldn't always get to …
September Baseball
Yup. Another post about the best game in the world. Baseball. For those of you who missed the last installment of as the baseball spins, I will bring you up to date. Our intrepid baseball stadium travelers (Josh & Steven) visited Pittsburgh's PNC Park in August to get to the midway mark in the stadium tour(*). …
Traveling the Road of Life
Travel allows me to get out of the daily grind, soak in beautiful landscapes and culture that gives me new ways to interpret myself and the world. In our usual existence, we have what I call a "sphere of influence." What I mean is simply the radius in which we usually operate: work, to grocery …
Journey Within the Pages
When there's a lull in travel plans, like say when I've just gone back to my job at a high school and I'm planning a wedding, my next best way to get out of my own experience and environment is to read. I don't need to read books about women like me--not only am I …
The Stadium Tour Continues
Last weekend I did my solo road trip to Pittsburgh, another stop in the grand tour of baseball stadiums. 500 miles each way, give or take a bit. I left around Friday noon, looking forward to a sunshine filled afternoon drive to Cleveland. Unfortunately, the weather gods decided to toy with me. It rained on …
Broad Strokes and Deep Dives
Steven and I tend to travel big. By that I mean, we want to see a lot so we may miss some of the smaller joys of a place. That's not to say that we drive-by travel. We are not taking selfies at national monuments and moving on, but we may spend only a day …
What is in a Name?
I know that I have said it before, but I love to drive. Put me out on the open road with the top down, good music, good company, and an interesting destination, and I am as happy as can be. During our trip out west, I noticed that lots of the highways have been named after people. …
Does Time Travel Count?
No, we are not time lords (Susan should speak for herself; I am not willing to concede this point...yet), but we did go back in time last week. Anyone who lives in Chicago or who has ever been in Chicago in the summer knows that every weekend brings a new neighborhood festival. They are all …
