Christmas 2020 – Iowa

Christmas 2020 – Iowa

Christmas 2020, part 2 | Iowa After spending Christmas 2019 completely alone, the past 5 Christmases far from home, and going through all the challenges 2020 presented, all we wanted was to celebrate the holidays with family. Because of the pandemic we weren’t able to see all of our extended family, but we definitely didn’t take getting to spend time… Read More

Christmas 2020 – Michigan

Christmas 2020, part 1 | Michigan | Written by Curtis For the Christmas and New Years season we decided to visit both sides of our family and spend time with them for the holidays.

Thanksgiving 2020

Thanksgiving 2020

This year, we broke our longest-standing Thanksgiving tradition of eating Thanksgiving dinner on a submarine. Yes, it only happened 2 years in a row, but we’ve done something completely different every other year so it only took 2 years to make it a tradition! Not only that, but for the first time in 5 years we were close enough to… Read More

Seward / Pawnee Lake

Seward / Pawnee Lake

Seward, Nebraska | Hiking around Pawnee State Recreation Area | November 2020 On yet another beautiful fall weekend, we drove West for another Saturday adventure. Today’s goal was to check off another courthouse, and go for a longer hike. Perhaps all these weekend adventures are starting to sound repetitive, but they are nonetheless enjoyable to us. We especially like that… Read More
