So a friend of mine and I hopped in a rental truck the other day and started driving east. After driving for a week and covering over 3,000 miles of America along the way, we ran into the biggest road block of the trip: the Atlantic Ocean. We had cheated death enough on the road…

Whirlwind Tours
Travel, travel and more travel filled the month of March. Some drive to Minneapolis, some fly to Minneapolis. Everyone drives to Rochester… then Chicago… then Clarksville, TN… and finally Bassett, VA. The suit cases earned their keep and thankfully both the kids and the parents kept their sanity (most of the time). All in all…
The Sun Sets on San Diego
Well, all good things must come to an end. The house went on the market and then the house was sold. Bags were packed, one last group of friends came to visit, and 3/4’s of the Wiktors said goodbye to the last San Diego sunset they’ll see for a while. After six years of fun…
Minnesota & Michigan Trip
It always seems like we spend so much time preparing for a trip and then before we know it the trip has come and gone. That’s how our last trip to Minnesota and Michigan went. The Wiktors had a pretty busy summer and we were looking forward to the time together and with our families….
Portland
Portland, Portlandia, PDX. A city of many monikers, friendly people and no shortage of greenery. This trip first started out as a destination for Carolyn and I to run a marathon together. Plus, it has always been a spot Phil and I wanted to visit so it was a win-win in our book. Our trip…
Rewind
In a last ditch effort to get caught up on what filled our time during the last three months of 2013, here’s a quick photo rundown…
Viva l’Italia
Viva l’Italia indeed! So six months ago Meredith and I started planning a trip based around a set of dates rather than a particular destination. We talked about some Caribbean islands, various cities in the US, thought about Spain, and then settled on Portugal. The weather during the end of December wasn’t the best and…
Hello San Francisco
Hello to the land of sourdough, a big golden bridge, and a place that has as many great restaurants as it does hills! We decided to take some much deserved time off and visit SoNorCal for a few days this month. We were not disappointed one bit! It is even rumored that I may have…
Back to Pensacola
The Wiktors have been making the rounds the last few weeks! Right after we returned from Maui, the next day in fact, Phil left for Pensacola where he spent the next month for work. Most of his 9-5 was spent at class, but evenings and weekends were fair game. The first few weekends Phil got…
Embracing Some Aloha
Our busy spring was rounded out by a wonderful family vacation to Maui. It all started with the thought of taking a trip with Phil before all our chaos begins this fall. The idea was then made even better when the entire Wiktor/Case clan was able to come as well. Thanks to Bill and Elaine’s…
