In the spring of 2018 we made our second visit to one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s most famous houses, Fallingwater. We went on an adults-only weekend trip with some friends and we were more than happy to return to Fallingwater for a second visit. The design of the house, so that it perfectly fits in with the […]
Black Hills & Badlands
Our family recently spent 3 1/2 days in the Rapid City, South Dakota area. There are so many things to explore within an hours drive from the city. Most people (including us) have heard of Mount Rushmore and it is certainly worth a visit. But when we started doing research prior to our trip, we […]
Asheville, NC – 195 Club “Caravan”
May 20-22, 2016 After a 1 year hiatus, the International Cessna 195 Club’s Caravan returned for its 2016 edition with the destination being Asheville, North Carolina. The choice of Asheville was a bit selfish as it had been on our “Fly To” list for a few years. The big draw for us was to see […]
All-inclusive was the way to go!
Time sure seems to have picked up speed since Hudson’s arrival last February. It has already been a month since we arrived home from our one week getaway in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic!

Florida in April!
While I was pregnant I had made up my mind that we would do whatever we could to go somewhere in April. Being a tax accountant, my maternity leave would be the only chance in my career to get away at tax time. So we settled on Florida. Sun ’N Fun was on our list […]
“Breast might be Best”, when it works…
When I was pregnant I was certain that I would breastfeed our baby for at least 9 months, which is when I was going to return to work. Breastfeeding was good for Baby, good for Mama, free, “portable” for all the travelling we planned to do, etc… I read Ina May’s Guide to Breastfeeding to […]
Bahamas, etc.
December 1 – December 19, 2014 On December 1st, I blasted off for Texas in our 195 with my friend Brad Hieronimus. Later that week, after a few adventures, he flew home in a pressurized aluminum tube from Memphis. In the evening on Friday, December 5, I picked up my wife Christina in Miami.
Cocktail party November 8
This was our first cocktail party hosted in the new house (and my first cocktail party not imbibing). By all accounts it was a success. There were 16 people in total, including us and Edward, so the kitchen/dining area was a little crowded. We started serving the first course just after 5:00PM and dessert was […]
Middlesboro, KY
