Ah, to be in the land of my people. We got out of Austin just days before an unexpected snow hit them and traded that for some even colder but weather in my home state. We spent the entire month of December visiting my family and childhood friends, most of whom I hadn't seen in … Continue reading Arkansas and Kansas

Austin, Texas
What was that we said about staying on top of our blog posts? Oh that's right, something about not procrastinating for an entire month. Oh well, we did our best. Sort of. Okay, not really. Anyway! We are currently freezing our butts off in Colorado and making our way towards Utah but we do have … Continue reading Austin, Texas
Louisiana!
Aside from an ant fiasco, our last week in Florida was exactly what we needed to recover from non-stop chaos of The Mini-Trip. We worked and got caught up on the blog and even celebrated Eli's birthday (Happy Birthday, honey!). In comparison to the first time we were in Florida for three weeks, this stay … Continue reading Louisiana!
Melbourne, FL
Ah, the comforting sight of yet another sandy, warm beach. The only differences are that this time we're in the far eastern side of the United States instead of the western side and that it's 80 degrees and sunny in October. It's not the climate to which we're accustomed but beggars can't be choosers and … Continue reading Melbourne, FL
North Carolina

Well, to put your minds at ease, much has happened and we have been a … Continue reading North Carolina
Mini Update – Melbourne, FL
We're still alive and well. Since Washington, D.C., we spent two weeks with Brooke's good friend in North Carolina before heading further south into Florida. I've been working with my coworkers on-site since we got to Melbourne so there's been no shortage of work for me. Brooke has taken on a few commissions and projects … Continue reading Mini Update – Melbourne, FL
New Jersey and Pennsylvania
After loitering around Connecticut for two and a half weeks, we finally made our leave and began the second half of our voyage. We decided against going to New York City this time around just so we wouldn't end up spending too much time in Connecticut, which probably would have been smarter now that we … Continue reading New Jersey and Pennsylvania
Bawston, Massachusetts
After much deliberating, we finally made the choice between seeing New York and Boston. It was a difficult choice but we came to the conclusion that it would just be so much cooler if we could...see both. One at a time though, the first being one of the most historic places in America. Boston, Massachusetts … Continue reading Bawston, Massachusetts
Rhode Island
When you ask a local Connecticutian what there is to do in the area, you will get one of two responses; a dead blank stare along with the question "Are you being serious?", or a loud and cackling laugh. Apparently there isn't much to do in Connecticut besides go to the surrounding states or hang … Continue reading Rhode Island
New York State Sprint
After Michigan, the next group of friends and family on our list were in the western parts of New York. We wanted to go through Canada to Buffalo, NY but had to go the south route around Lake Erie and through Cleveland because I am an incurable procrastinator and didn't get a passport in time. … Continue reading New York State Sprint
