Not so fast

Right now I’m supposed to be high in the air flying across the country. Having my boys experience looking out the window and down at the clouds. The force of takeoff as you rush along the runway and then feel the wheels come off the ground. Watching the trees as they get smaller and smaller.Continue reading “Not so fast”

First half marathon

Since my last post I’ve continued on my training for the half marathon though I hit a couple of set backs. The first set back was our family summer vacation not long after that post. We went to North Carolina but stopped into Maine and upstate New York for a while on the way. IContinue reading “First half marathon”

Epic Road Trip 2023

Though this might not have been as far as a trip as some of our past Epic Road Trips like 2017 and 2018, it was still an epic trip. Jen was her three month sabbatical from work and I took some vacation time so we could take the family trip. For years we had promisedContinue reading “Epic Road Trip 2023”

Staycation Scavenger Crawl

Like many people our original plans for this summer have drastically changed. We were going to use my Sabbatical from work to spend time in Alberta visiting family. As that couldn’t happen we decided we would see some of our local area that we don’t spend enough time in. We had started going to placesContinue reading “Staycation Scavenger Crawl”

My favourite way to relax

Tomorrow morning I start back to work after a week off. Previously I had a bad habit of at least checking in on work a few times while I was supposed to be away. This time though I disconnected almost entirely. Not even coming into Slack to socialize with my team. We spent most ofContinue reading “My favourite way to relax”

Toronto March break vacation

We’ve been waiting since Christmas to take this trip. This year we surprised everyone with tickets to see a Toronto Raptors game over March Break. This may just become new tradition. We haven’t really done anything big for March break before, but this ended up being a great vacation. We debated for a short bitContinue reading “Toronto March break vacation”

When you find something you like, buy two

That at least seems to be what some hotel and Airbnb decorators think. On our summer vacation in 2015 we stayed in a shifty hotel just outside of New York. I found it funny to find two pictures the exact same beside each other. We arrived at our Airbnb last night, everything is really niceContinue reading “When you find something you like, buy two”

Epic Road Trip 2018

We made out so well last year with a big long road trip that this year we decided to do it again. This time however instead of crossing the country we headed south. Driving this way it allowed us to accomplish two things we had been wanting to do for a long time. For yearsContinue reading “Epic Road Trip 2018”
