Spring break 2026 was a full family trip to Cancun Mexico. Everyone was there for different times but we all overlapped for about 5 days. Coleson and Katie got there on the first day followed the next day by Allie, Emelia and me and Caleb, Gabie and Hazel. Mom, Dad and Landry as well as Charlee and Bridger got there on day 3. The all inclusive resort was a blast and everyone had a blast. The food was pretty good and I had to have had over 50 drinks led by the piña colada. The

Took a business trip over to Texas. Most of my time was spend working but I had some time to poke around a bit, check out the Alamo and Riverwalk and got to eat at a few cool places for dinners. The City itself is not going to make my top 10 Cities in the US list, in fact it'll be quite a ways down on the all time list, so much so that I don't think I'll ever be visiting again. There were some cool parts like the Riverwalk itself and the Alamo but overall was kindof a mess.

Probably the most anticipated stop of the trip was Santorini and it did not disappoint at all starting on the water below the cliffs the view from the bottom was a great way to start. We then took a fun cable car ride up the steep cliff wall to get to the top of the island. Once we got to the top and got 3 minutes into walking around the streets we were already loving it. The super narrow streets and white washed buildings were very unique and were really special when you wer

This was the first where we spent the first day of our big trip to Greece. We got into Athens and immediately hit the streets after checking into our hotel. After a quick lunch of classic greek salad and pita with tzatziki we started walking around downtown Athens. The Plaka was a cool section of town with restaurants and shops all over the place, with ruins and churches sprinkled in here and there. On the outskirts of this section was a tiny neighborhood right at the foot of

For our 5th anniversary we did a weekend trip through Las Vegas to Death Valley. Las Vegas was a blast, we were only there long enough for a nice dinner and a bit of time to chill. We went to a new place called Din Tai Fung and it was really good. The dumplings were steamed in bamboo bins and were fresh and delicious. We stayed at a new Marriott hotel by the strip and it was great too! Death Valley National Park was the next park on our list to check off. We were only there

Though our trip to LA was brief, we got to experience the food scene pretty well. We went to a couple street food markets, ate at some fancier places and had a great time trying different styles of food. Holbox made our top 5 as a Michelin star (Bib Gourmand) place with unbelievable food taste and quality. We went to a seafood place in a market that appeared on triple D that was also amazing. For dinner the one night in Hollywood was a swank Italian place that was also phenom

Of course there is a whole post written only about the food we ate on Maui. As I would consider myself a foodie, eating experiences while traveling is a large part of why we go on trips. Although expensive, the food on Maui was overall great. A few let downs and a few amazing spots that stood out but overall pretty darn good food. Lets start with our top 3 dinner spots around the island: 1- Cafe O'lei was easily our favorite restaurant on the whole trip. Started with some mo

Went back to KC for the weekend. Took the family this time. Spent most of our time eating BBQ: Jack Stack and Joes were the favorites, with Q39 as a close runner up, from burnt ends and rocketpig sammies to BBQ poutine. Went to the game of course and watched the Chiefs spank the Rams. Good game with good fans and teams. Got to also see some church sites and war museums and that was also really cool to see.

Spent the day around Jackson Hole, tried some bison burgers and tasty sweets. Then we got the chance to go white water rafting. It was such a blast and we got soaked, swam a bit in the river and went through some pretty big and long rapids.

On our way up to Vanderhoof we decided to stay a few days in Calgary to split up the trip a bit, we had an awesome hotel right downtown, went to a swanky dinner spot were able to see the temple there and got some pastries. Was a great way to see one of the places we drive through and not just from the gas station as we sped through. Go Flames!

Took a day to do a not so quick and not so easy 8 mile hike up Mt. Pope, got a good workout and got to enjoy some beautiful views. Didn't take long to eat all the calories back at lil Jimmy's.

Spent a day or 2 in Seattle, eating fish and chips, looking at gum walls, biking the streets and touring Pike Place Market.

Got to check a major item off the bucket-list, got to see the KC Chiefs play in arrowhead, the 3o point win wasn't bad either. It would also be a crime not to mention the BBQ that definitely lived up to all the hype. Can't forget the low quality video
