Road Trip šŗšøā¾ļøā³ļø
A few weeks ago, I finished reading The Teammates by David Halberstam. It is a great story about a road trip Johnny Pesky and Dominic DiMaggio took with Dick Flavin, the āpoet laureateā of Fenway Park, to visit Ted Williams in Florida. They knew Ted was dying, and wanted to see their old friend one […]
California dreaming
Our week in Santa Cruz visiting Melissa and Ryan again has been quite nice. We arrived on Saturday, March 30th, just in time to watch some March Madness hoops and enjoy pizza in their home. Here we are, reunited in time for tip-off of the Clemson game. Easter Sunday was an absolutely beautiful day here. […]
Fenway South!
After a great night of sleep, we woke up on the edge of this pretty canal to plenty of sunshine and a crisp 55 degrees! It was wonderful. After a walk with Charlie, it started to climb into the 70ās and I decided to launch one of the kayaks off the dock in the back […]
Stacey Arrives!
After a week in Florida, Stacey flew in on Friday night. Hooray! Weāll get to what the two of us are up to soon, but first letās look at a few highlights before her arrival. Charlie grew more comfortable in her new surroundings and realized that Tim is a new friend willing to have endless […]
Florida in March
I packed up the car with shorts, t-shirts, flip flops and Charlie for a 900 mile drive to Longboat Key. While I am here to accomplish some business regarding Momās home and car, there are Spring Training games and kayak excursions planned throughout. Stacey flies down next weekend after a week of work, and our […]
Travels to Clemson š
Before Christmas, we looked at the calendar and saw that Virginia hoops had a game at Clemson on February 3rd. This was great, as we wanted to go root for the Hoos on an away court. But what made it truly fantastic was it gave us an opportunity to visit the one and only special […]
Christmas 2023 š
On Saturday, 12/22/23, Stacey and I put Charlie in the car and headed north towards Scituate. As the sun rose over Virginia Beach, we enjoyed a spectacular view from the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel for the start of our journey. We were both amazed at how incredibly calm the waters of the bay were. This […]
Giving thanksā¦
One doesn’t need to travel far to arrive in a different world. 20 miles from home is a home of different sorts. Our Framily comes to Sandbridge each year for what is a favorite week. Time moves slower here by the ocean. We laze the days away while moving less and eating more. That is […]
World Series!
We all have our bucket list of things we dream of experiencing some day. I feel so fortunate to have checked one off my personal list with my best friend Tim Riegle. Tim grew up outside of Dallas and is a life-long, die-hard Texas Rangers fan. We booked flights to Dallas before the ALCS and […]
Re-CAPS – Ireland 2023!
Our phenomenal Celtic Adventure comes to a close today, as we have just taken off from Shannon. For our summary of CAPS, weāll take a chronological trip to the lighthouses I photographed along the way, with a note or two on our experiences near those beacons. Perhaps youāll find another picture when we didnāt find […]
