Greetings, Fellow Adventurers! If you recall from our last episode, the caravan of 15–because obviously that is the best number in a traveling party–made its way around the Northeast, at times even crossing international borders. A fabulous time was had by all. This summer, the menfolk feedback from Louise and my amazing past itineraries was, […]

Day Three
We continued our own group heatwave with a trip to the ballpark on Day 3. Translate that to mean we certainly make a splash wherever we go and most of the time we’re a hot mess. But the unsuspecting folks with the Cincinnati Reds were amazing hosts, treating us to a ridiculous experience of delicious […]
Pics because it totally happened
Louise, If margarita jello shots don’t fall out of 1 OF THE 2 PIÑATAS YOU’VE PACKED, YOU’RE DOING THIS TRIP WRONG. And piñatas.
Not the best travel guide in the world, but it’ll do
Alright, enough messing around. We really have to get semi-serious for 6 minutes to pull this off. It’s logistics day, and I’ll take just a minute to provide some real details on the trip planning before we get back to our regularly scheduled nonsense just in case anyone was looking for some real travel advice […]
Day 3 (and almost my last)
I thought it might take a little longer, but Day 3 was the moment Louise tried to kill me. I should have known something was amiss when she returned to the campsite with a trail of cheap wine from Walgreen’s that led to the back of a rented white U-Haul cargo van. The fact that […]
Day 1-St. Louis
We gave new meaning to the concept of Western Expansion today as Thelma and Louise safely crossed the Mississippi with 8 kids in tow on Day 1 of the Crazy Tour. So far, so good. While the 5 hour trip took closer to 8, I blame that on an extra lunch stop in the parking […]
The Trip
We are firing up the ol’ blog today in an effort to chronicle the epic road trip in which 13 people—9 of them kids—load up in an RV and attempt to navigate the next 5000 western miles and still remain coherent, contributing members of society when we pull back into the driveway a month from […]
Review–SUBTECH Dry Skin Cover for the kitchen
I love to cook from an open cookbook or magazine. Scribbling notes in the margin, its pages gently spattered with floured fingerprints or remnants of the delicious recipe depicted. But honestly, that’s not how we often practically cook in this millennium. More often than not, I’m on a website. My phone is open to a […]
St. Patrick’s Day Dinner
One of the things I remember the most about my mother’s cooking was her corned beef dinner. She would make the corned beef, red-skinned potatoes and boiled cabbage. It was one of my favorite meals as a kid. Except for the cabbage. The cabbage smell would make me gag, but everything else was so good […]
A weekend in New Orleans via Instagram
As a Catholic, I know darn well when Ash Wednesday falls. As a New Orleans non-resident, casual tourist and accidental hipster, I had no idea that Mardi Gras was not limited to the weekend before Fat Tuesday, and evidently we booked our Anniversary weekend getaway smack dab in the middle of the Crescent City’s biggest […]
