Outdoor concerts are always on our summer bucket list and we were lucky enough to attend two big concerts this year. First was a Pentatonix concert. Troy and I have been following them since before they were famous and we’ve wanted to see them live for years. When we found…
I know I say it every year, but the 4th of July is my absolute favorite holiday. I love that it is scorching hot and we get to boat and BBQ and listen to loud music and stay up late and watch fireworks. I even love the traffic at the…
In the past month, we have traveled across many seas. We’ve crossed the Atlantic Ocean. Sailed through the Mediterranean Sea. Swam in the Black Sea. Let the waves of the Pacific Ocean crash against our toes. Although each sea and each grand ocean is mysterious and beautiful, there is no place…
