It all started a few years back with a comment from my dad that went something like “I’d like to climb a mountain someday.” Mike and I somehow figured it would be best to get involved and five years later, we boarded a plane bound for Tanzania. My brother, Mike, my dad, and I would…

Jolly Days
Earlier in the year we decided to stay in California for Christmas. When we heard Mike and Heather were doing the same, the Wiktor families decided it would only be appropriate to join forces in Santa Cruz. Kathy and Carolyn couldn’t be left out and made plans to join us as well. We were set…
Back to the Gulf Coast
Last week Sophia and I headed on an adventure back to the Gulf Coast. We visited our friends Sydney and Pete and had a great couple of days. I say it every time I talk about living in Florida, but the one thing I truly miss are the beaches. I joked that Sophia was cramping…
Grand Rounds
We’re back! We were sorry to see that we’ve been somewhat MIA from our website lately. We went through our photos trying to figure out what we did during the month of August; we’re still not quite sure.

Despite all the months of planning, days of cooking and hours of last minute preparations it is always a huge success and this…
Minnesota and monkeys
It’s not every day that you can say you saw wild monkeys in Minnesota! While we kinda cheated (went to the zoo), Mere and I were able to make that claim during our last trip back home. Yes, I know the picture is of an orangutan but we did see monkeys too. Our whirlwind trip…
Retreat to Seattle
While Phil was “playing” in the desert the last few weeks, I planned a trip to Seattle with two of my oldest and dearest high school friends. Nicole lives in Seattle so we took advantage of the opportunity to visit her and the awesome destination and Lauren flew from the booming metropolis of Sioux Falls….
