We're probably doing it wrong.
I can't lie, I was disappointed to be anywhere after the day at Yellowstone--anything was going to be a letdown. The fact that there is a whole lot of nothing in Idaho does not help. We took I-20 to Craters of the Moon National Monument. The road went straight for awhile and then skirted a... Continue Reading →
This was the leg I was looking forward to the most, and one of my biggest reasons for doing the cross-country drive in the first place--Yellowstone! Mister M had never been (I've been through I think three times? The last one was a half day on my 2005 cross-country drive), and I have this much... Continue Reading →
Leg 4 actually finished in Nebraska. We ate dinner at a Mexican place outside Des Moines, Iowa, and then continued on. Originally we'd planned to stop in Omaha, just over the border, but decided to push on to Lincoln, 45 minutes further west. (We did this the next three legs, to make the next day's...

Driving out of Ohio in the morning was pretty. We hit Indiana. Nothing much there but corn. In Illinois we saw our first wind turbines. They are so pretty and elegant! Plus so good for the environment. Well done, states who have lots of wind turbines in their fields! Speaking of fields, as you... Continue Reading →
Around 11am on Friday (moving day), Andy said, "God, we'll be lucky to get out of here by four!" I scoffed. We left at 5. With a seven-hour drive ahead of us. It was a beautiful last trip across the Verrazano Bridge. Because only a crazy person would attempt to go through Manhattan on a... Continue Reading →
As if enough things weren't already going on this year, we're also moving across the country at the end of August. I have a LOT to say about this, as you can imagine. This has been a long time coming, for those of you longtime readers. I moved to New York in the summer of... Continue Reading →
Our start in Vienna was not so ideal. We forgot to load a map on the phone before we left wifi in Prague, so even though we had the street address and an assumption about a vague area, we didn't know exactly where we were going. At the train station, we exited on one end... Continue Reading →
Oh, Prague. I was so excited but also nervous to return. My time there in 2006 was wonderful and I totally fell in love with it. Part of me was nervous that going back would be meh, that I wouldn't like it as much. I was very excited for Andy to see it--I hoped he... Continue Reading →
Our journey to Europe started out as a chaotic one. Our plane left late, we had to go through a second baggage screening at Heathrow before running for our Budapest flight which was about to close. We made it all fine and dandy, and got a car service into town to our very fancy hotel... Continue Reading →
We Have Twins?!
