“It’s SPRING BREAK!!” shout the kids and with Mexico already scratched off the list, there was only one destination on the menu: the mountains! The real question was “which mountains?” We were pretty set on going back to Tahoe but decided late in the fall to instead make a reconnaissance pass on another western mountain…

Get me to Mexico!
An opportunity knocked in the fall and we said “yes”… then we had to figure out how to make it work. One of our great friends decided to celebrate his 50th this year in his typical style… with over the top class and unlimited fun. Cabo San Lucas. Stellar resort. No kids. He sent the…
A visit to the island
Newport, Rhode Island that is! While I had visited Newport once before it seemed to escape me that it was in fact an island and not a peninsula. It wasn’t until our trip to see the Clays and Carolyn mentioning things on “the island” that it clicked. We took advantage of the holiday weekend hopped…
Shreddin’ Out West
3/4 of the Wiktors continue to be proud members of the Epic family and the other quarter of us ain’t no stranger to a relaxing time in the mountains with family. I have become pretty rigid in my ski trip requirements that I use as planning factors. No weekend or holiday skiing. Must stay on…
Merrrrrry Minnesota!
An impulse airline ticket buy in September (they were a good deal I promise!) led us back to Minnesota for Christmas with big smiles on our faces. A few years ago, Meredith suggested an ugly Christmas sweater themed holiday gathering (since we are taking a break from parties at the house) and it was a…
Good old fashioned summer fun!
A trip to Minnesota in the summer is such a treat! It’s a rare occasion when we get to go and just visit – no holiday, specific event, or agenda. Well, maybe there’s still an agenda because I like a plan but the agenda items are relaxation and family time. Our summer trip was three…
Summer Stadium Tour 2.0
If you kept up with our trip across country last summer, you know Will and I visited three different stadiums during our excellent adventure. Having crossed Nationals Park off the list last summer after arriving in the DMV, Will had his hopes set on some other parks this summer. While his list was a bit…
That one time we went to Mexico…
When we start to fall months behind on the website, you know I’m to blame. Better late than never though! So without further adieu… When we moved back to Virginia last fall I mentioned to Phil that a true spring break trip would be a good idea. I was thinking a warm weather trip to…
New Year, Old Haunts
You may stick us on the East Coast and not give us a flake of snow for the winter but you can’t keep us off the slopes forever! Well, three of us anyway. We’re still working on the skiing part for Mere but she enjoys the quiet time and beautiful views during the days and…
Will & Mom’s Excellent Adventure
The Wiktors got to plan not one, but two cross country adventures. Dad, Sophia, and Lucy got a jump start on the driving leaving Will and I to chart our own course. You can always count on me to piece together an action packed itinerary (and I love a good movie reference or corny joke)….
