    History Nerds and Taphophiles will LOVE This One

    If you’ve been following us from winter to spring, you may have noticed a pattern: So, can you guess where we ended up in April?? That’s right, our legendary kidney donor athlete had to go back to Boston to run the marathon. Have you ever wondered what the spouses of runners do after they kiss their person good bye? Why…we worry for their safety; pray for their success; and suffer anxiety while watching their progress on the course, of course! But this time, I added my own walking tour of the American revolution and some super interesting gravestones. History nerds and Taphophiles will LOVE this one! The Cambridge House Share…

    How a Little Tempest Can Impact Your Day

    We’re back from the hiatus we took to prepare for the Boston Marathon…where one of us ran the race and the other spectated. Needless to say, I think running it probably a bit easier. After all the runner’s path is marked, while us spectators had to find our own way to the finish! But I digress. This week we continue our odyssey in the desert, where we explore how a little tempest can impact your day. Jumping out of a perfectly good airplane To celebrate Connor’s big day, we loaded up the Behemoth and drove 45 minutes out to Go Jump in Jean, Nevada. Connor and Savanna wanted to go…

    The Odyssey in the Desert – Part 1

    I’ve always heard that the desert is a place to go to get clarity. It’s a place that is quiet, beautiful, and lends itself to introspection. After all, didn’t Jesus go to the desert to pray for 40 days? And the Israelites wandered the Sinai desert for 40 years, looking for the promised land, right? Well, this trip, wasn’t ANYTHING like all that. Join us for a winter’s odyssey in the desert where we take 6 young 20 somethings for their first trip to the land of holy rollers, I mean, HIGH rollers in Las Vegas. So…why Vegas? I’m sure some folks are wondering why we would take our youngest…

  • Boston 2022 – Getting There and Being There

    Boston 2022 – Getting There and Being There! Nothing compares to Boston in the Springtime – especially if you’re a runner (or runnah, as the locals say.) Check out the details of our 6 day, 5 night trip in April – getting there and finding beer! Parking – We used our normal vendor, US Park. This morning, the lot was very full and we had to wait about 20 minutes for shuttle pickup.  That’s very unusual for them so hopefully it was a one time thing. Cheapskate tip – Visit Detroit Parking Coupons to save a little dough. They also offer veteran’s discounts and discounts for various businesses as well so be sure to…
