Journey of a Lifetime
Indiana As we drove from the Cleveland area to Chicago, we cut across the northeast stretch of Indiana. We had been rushing to get to Chicago because we had tickets for the afternoon Cubs game at Wrigley field, but we were gifted with an extra hour as we shifted into the Central Time Zone. We … Read more
Urgent Care in Cleveland Monday morning we woke up and got ready for a long day at Cedar Point (the roller coaster capital of the world). Unfortunately Skylar’s stomach was upsetting him quite a bit, which kept him running to the bathroom. Something definitely seemed wrong — this was the second day that Skylar’s stomach … Read more
Just like in any big city, parking in Boston is outrageous so after a failed attempt to find something reasonable, we drove north a little to the Alewife T station and parked our car. We purchased day passes for the T (Boston’s metro) so we could ride unlimited throughout town. Freedom Trail Boston is incredibly … Read more
New Canaan, CT We traveled to New Canaan so I could meet Alyssa’s seminary teacher Brad Rowley and his wife Natalia, who just had their baby Jack. We also planned to stay with them while we explored New York City for a couple days. When we arrived Brad and Natalia had dinner waiting for us, … Read more
Delaware In a hurry to get to Philadelphia and experience the most we could, we made a quick stop in Wilmington, DE to grab a bite to eat.

We got on the road a little later than anticipated thanks to mom’s late night viewing of the Disney show. Had we left early like planned we would have made a quick stop at Six Flags Over Georgia but we never did make it in time. We had a long 7 hour drive to get … Read more
The Hubbards We spent the majority of our time with the best family in Texas: the Hubbards. The first night we got there they took us to a real Texas BBQ where we stuffed our faces. It was just the beginning to an amazing Texas experience. The weather was hot and humid but better than … Read more
Iowa With an early start on the road, we crossed over the Mississippi River to enjoy breakfast in Keokuk, Iowa. We ate at a darling place called 4th St Cafe. The cheery waitress could spot that we were from out of town right away, and we had fun telling her all about our adventures so … Read more
Nebraska The sunrise over Santa Fe Lake outside Wichita, Kansas was beautiful. We wanted to stay for a bit to enjoy the Lake and it’s beautiful lily pads but we had adventures in Missouri to get to. We headed north up through Topeka and into Nebraska. We found a local diner in Nebraska City called … Read more
