Time to Bust Out the Sandals
Just in case you didn’t know, yesterday was the official start of summer. Although the summer is just beginning, the sunburn on my back tells me that I tried to celebrate a bit to early… Note to self: Listen more to your girlfriend regarding sunscreen application. The sunburn was caused by one [...]
Pedaling My Way to Spring
It’s springtime here in Minnesota, which means a lot of changes when it comes to my lifestyle. The shred sessions on the snowboard turn into pedal-powered bicycle trips throughout Minneapolis. It was hard to put the snowboards away as they gave me quite the evil look while I slowly buckled their ratchets together in preparation [...]
California + Colorado = Perfect Vacation
We are now back in Minnesota after a vacation to remember. This adventure took us to San Fransisco, California which was followed by Aspen, Colorado. It was a great combination of sun and snow which can’t be beat in my mind, especially since it rained cats and dogs in Minnesota while we were gone…
The first [...]
The Fun Begins – Winter
The holiday season has ended here in Minnesota, but as far as I’m concerned, the fun is just beginning. Although I had a great time at several different family events during the holidays, the snowboard season is in full-swing now that January is here. After several small snowfalls, on December 23rd Minnesota finally got the [...]
Turkey Day in South Padre
First of all, I must apologize to my loyal readers. It has been quite a while since I wrote a riveting blog post! I’m freshly back from my Thanksgiving vacation and ready to fill your mind with useless info about my travels. This time the destination was South Padre Island in Texas [...]
Soaking in the Culture of Omaha
Kate and I recently took a trip to Omaha Nebraska for the weekend to attend the Omaha Fashion week runway show. When Kate first mentioned the trip, I was skeptical to say the least. Normally if the state of Nebraska is mentioned to me, all I think of is endless hours of flat farm land. [...]
Moving to Minneapolis and paddling the BWCA..
First of all, I apologize for not writing an entry for so long! Many of you already know that Kate and I packed up our life in Edina and decided to move to the Longfellow Neighborhood in Minneapolis. Although we did enjoy our time in Edina, it lacked the personality that any area in Minneapolis [...]
Celebrating the Fourth
Another long weekend has come and gone too quickly. This time the cause for celebration was the 4th of July. The fun started out on Friday with a great trip to the beach with close friends. Many games of “cups” were played and even though the sun wasn’t very bright, I think I soaked up [...]
The End of the Sea Ray
Today I sold my pride and joy of the last two years… A proud new owner drove away with my Sea Ray Seville while I gave it a final wave goodbye. It was definitely a sad day but I’m happy to see the wonderful boat go to a good home. Hopefully it [...]
Summer + Wakeboarding+ Golf?
It’s officially summer once the boat hits the water for the initial wakeboard trips! We’ve been out twice in the last week and I forgot how much fun it is being out on the lake. The water is still quite chilly but that doesn’t stop us from having a good time on the wakeboards. After [...]
