#weregoingonanadventure #Australia #ImsoexcitedImsoexcitedImsoscared #travel Be patient. Some things take time. The countdown is on! We are a little over 24 hours away from starting our LONG haul to the Land Down Under. Over the next few days, Jason and I will have traveled over 28 hours to get to our first destination of [...]
#MNStateFair Mini Adventure
We now interrupt this regularly scheduled pre-vacation diet to visit the Minnesota State Fair. This is no ordinary state fair though; this one is full of vendors that petition for years to have a booth for only 12 days, but to be seen by nearly 2 million people in just that short time. Less [...]
C.R.E.A.M (Cash Rules Everything Around Me)
#travel #vacation #Australia #Fiji #money #credit #blog #dumbhashtag #seriouslystop Raise your hand if you've traveled anywhere and either lost your credit card, had it declined, or gotten home and not realized there was an even bigger fee for using it where you did. Most credit cards or bank cards have hidden fees that you'd only [...]
Product Testing Vol. 2 (When Nature Calls)
With the next adventure only a few weeks away, we have begun taking the time to break in our new equipment bought for this trip (other than the damn bug nets). Last Saturday we hiked Lebanon Hills Regional Park for about 1 1/2 hours to test both our stamina and our equipment. Bug Bite Counter [...]
Product Testing
One of the most important parts of traveling to new places is being prepared for the environment ahead. During our few days in central Australia we will be visiting iconic Ayer's Rock. Some of the things Ayer's Rock is known for is hiking, great views and annoying knats or flies. Hopefully we have that last [...]
We’re back! (Australia & Fiji 2017)
Its been a while since our last trip, September to be exact, and my wife and I are gearing up for our biggest trip to date. To celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary we decided to go back to Australia for 2 weeks, then follow-up with a vacation from the vacation with 4 days in [...]
Irish Architecture and Art
Traveling overseas really gives you perspective on what "old" really means when you see buildings and art. Only places in Washington D.C. or perhaps other east coast locations can come close to what Ireland had to offer in wonderfully aged architecture. Below are only some of the beauty I was able to capture, each of [...]
Don’t Always Trust the GPS/The Gap of Dunloe
Yesterday was a frustrating one. For all the wonderful things about Ireland, like the people and the scenery, travel is not easy. Driving is difficult in the Emerald Isle for many factors, the largest one being inconsistencies in the size of roads and their overall condition. Most times the name or identification number of the [...]
Blooper Reel
Halfway through this Ireland adventure and I've got lots to share, but not all the time to do so. We've taken hundreds of pics, but not all came out as well as you (or mostly Steph) would like. Consider the below as unapproved and unauthorized pics of the journey so far.
Have fun storming the castle!
Guys, we booked a room at a castle for tonight's stay and I have to admit, the place is even better than the pictures. Our first night in Ireland we stayed at an AirBnb which was essentially some guys spare room, but tonight, we splurged. Some available activities include; fly fishing, Woodcock shooting and a [...]
