where I talk with my inside voice
We visited Noah for Parent’s Weekend and had lunch in Columbia at a nice BBQ place called COMO Smoke and Fire. Then we took a little trip to Boonville to take a tour of Warm Springs Ranch. It was pretty hot all day, but we still enjoyed seeing the horses and petting the yearlings. If you grew up in St....
My friend Albin Quiko invited me down to his house in Ozark, Missouri this weekend. He just bought a new boat last month, and I was honored to be one of the first of his friends to take it for a spin. We spent a few hours cruising around, and then we stopped a place for lunch. Since it was...
Earlier this summer, I told the kids I wanted to take a history field trip to Springfield, IL, to see the Lincoln museum. They were open to the idea, so I scheduled it and bought tickets. Josie ended up catching some bug that was going around, so she stayed home. Noah and I enjoyed seeing some of the sights, including...
We just got back from our 12-day roadtrip out west – with overnight stops in Colorado Springs, Grand Junction, Bryce Canyon and Flagstaff. We drove over 2,000 miles, ate some great food, and made some great memories. Some photos from the trip are available in my album, and check out the short video below.
Edna, this is your tent! The flights and hotels are booked and now we are just looking forward to another (and perhaps the last) Pipes family roadtrip. This time to the desert southwest, including the Grand Canyon and a few National Parks. Noah is headed off to college in the fall and it may not be possible to get us...
We just got back from our loop around the Great Lakes. We drove 1,600 miles, with stops in Mackinac Island, Ottawa, Montreal, and Niagara Falls, among others. We took almost 2,000 photos, some of which are now in my photo album. We saw a lot of stuff and made some great memories. See the video below.
I just finished booking our airfare, hotels, and rental car for our epic New England journey. Like our California trip, we’ll be spending two weeks on the road, staying in several places along the way. Starting in Cape May, with stops in Philly, New York, and Boston, and culminating in Bar Harbor with a couple of days in Acadia National...
