Last week was one of those weeks that just wouldn’t stop at work. It was good work (I really do love my job), but it was a lot of long days inside, staring at my computer screen. When Friday afternoon rolled around, I was finally done with my work for the week, so I took…

As our time in Denver draws to a close, we decided to make a quick trip to Red Rocks to wander around. I’ve been trying to find a concert there to go to, but hadn’t had much luck. It was incredibly cool to see the venue – I now understand why it’s considered so iconic.…

Roadtrip Snacks, Featuring Sour Cream and Funyuns
Today, I asked Jerry to grab me a small bag of Funyuns when he went in for a soda. He returned with sour cream and onion-flavored Funyuns, and honestly, they were pretty great!

Trail running is…not aesthetic
I recently went for a trail run in Eisenhower Park in San Antonio right after a rainstorm and was reminded that trail running is a very different look. I was so covered in mud that at the end of the run, I took my shoes off and threw a towel over the car seat to…

When in Breck…
We stopped at Broken Compass at the recommendation of a friend, as we were leaving Breckenridge to head back to Texas. The beers were universally fantastic – I’d highly recommend stopping by if you’re in there area!
