When we were on the trip, we decided to try to make some quick videos with updates on what we were up to.  The two goals were that we would post them to the Internet right away so the girls could get video updates from us, and that we’d have them to look back on ourContinue reading “Our Little Videos from our Italy trip”

This is very long overdue, but I see that I missed the chance to blog about our family trip to California in February, so better late than never. The combination of Allegiant Air and Priceline can make for a really cheap vacation. We were able to find a direct flight from Fargo to Los AngelesContinue reading “Disneyland Trip”

Becky and I were able to get away for a couple’s vacation this week.  We headed off to New York City early Saturday morning and got back Thursday night.  The girls spent the week with Becky’s parents back in South Dakota and had a great time.  Here’s the recap of our trip:     SaturdayContinue reading “New York Getaway”

We went on our family vacation in the Black Hills of South Dakota.  Becky has a Yackley family reunion, so we were out there with all her sisters, brother, cousins and relatives.  We traveled to Onida on Thursday night and headed to the Hills on Friday afternoon.  We stopped into Pierre for lunch with Somer on our wayContinue reading “Summer Vacation to the Black Hills”

I’m on my way to Seattle tonight for work, so that’s the reason for the bevy of blog entries.  I am fairly caught up at work and have been way behind on the blog, so this is a good opportunity to catch up.  Whenever I’m in the airport or flying process, I have random thoughtsContinue reading “Random Thoughts While Sitting on a Plane”

I just discovered this previously unpublished note from my trip back from Munich on Sep 12.  The end of the story was that my flight got canceled in Chicago and I had to fly through Minneapolis to get home much later than anticipated.     I understand the business of flying planes and getting peopleContinue reading “Munich Part 2 – way overdue”

I’m sitting in my hotel in Munich, Germany tonight (German time at least), trying to recover from a long day.  It seems when you travel for business, the days are longer because first there’s 8 hours of work, 1-2 hours of traveling back and forth, then there’s 3-4 hours of supper, then there’s 3-4 hoursContinue reading “Munich Trip Part 1 (maybe of 1)”

This past weekend was my 15 year class reunion and my hometown’s 125th birthday.  The 4 of us made the trek back to my hometown to check it out.  We got there on Friday evening and Eric and I went out to the street dance – at the taunting of my sisters.  (I was extremelyContinue reading “Becky’s 2nd Post – 15 year class reunion”

We tried to do it all this weekend.  It seems whenever Becky’s cousin has a wedding it’s time for us to try to jam three weekends worth of activities into one.  I could probably write an article about many of the events, but I’ll try to touch on them quickly:   The Wedding Becky’s cousin, Mark,Continue reading “One Packed Weekend”

Apparently the Celebrity Cruise line is renowned for its food.  After five days at sea, we really can’t dispute that claim.  The food is unique, plentriful, good and easy to find.  The primary eating options were the Grand Restaurant – a formal dining room, the Island Cafe – a buffet with tons of options orContinue reading “The Food”
