26 Sundays Down!

26 Sundays Down!

Well, we made it. Can you believe it, ladies and gentlemen? We’ll have a quick post here to wrap up the end of the year’s adventures, and then up next will be a post all about our thoughts and reflections from the past 6 months. This one’ll be quick as a lot of you reading are also folks that we’ve seen since we returned, so you already know some of what we’ve been up to! Last Sunday, Brian worked on…

24 Sundays Down…(or, Mud and Missing Monuments)

That’s right, ladies and gentlemen. The title is not deceiving you. We have TWO SUNDAYS LEFT of our adventures. Where oh where did all that time go? In a week we’ll be home in Vegas for Christmas family fun time, and what happens the week after that remains to be seen. But instead of looking to the future, let’s get to living in the past! Brian left you last week with tales of our troublesome drive to El Paso, after…

22 Sundays Down… (Or, Movies & Sweetpeas & Greebees, Oh My!)

Howdy partners! Kate here, coming to you from Cedar Park in the gigantic state of Texas. We’re moving on today, lingering just long enough to get this blog post typed up for your reading pleasure. So let’s get to it! I’m sitting at the very same table that Brian finished his blog post at last week – a very rare occurrence – at his moms’ house in Cedar Park, just outside of Round Rock and a little ways from Austin….

20 Sundays Down…(or, The Week of Accomplishing Last Week’s Goals)

Hello, avid followers! So great to see you here once again. It’s a pretty nice little routine we’ve got going here, don’t you think? This week’s post is coming EARLY (which is unheard of for me, as many of you know) because we have a new town to get to and some super exciting visitors to go meet on this fine Sunday! You’ll hear more about them next week. But for now… We had one last goal to accomplish in…

18 Sundays Down… (or, The Latest Key Catastrophe)

18 Sundays Down… (or, The Latest Key Catastrophe)

Hello again! Has it been another week already? My goodness, time is flying as we zoom around the North of the…”South”? That is, the big weird middle-of-America area that’s not really in the south but likes to call itself The South. After our big loopy route from Brian’s last post, we’ve been keeping a mostly eastward course from Chattanooga, TN to Fayetteville, NC. This will be our last time venturing in the opposite direction of home – it’s pretty much…

16 Sundays Down… (or, “Open Up Your Food Minds or Take Down Your Word Gates!”)

Why, hello there! So great of you to join us for another installment of 26 Sundays. We’re once again set up for business in YET ANOTHER Starbucks – this time in Waynesboro, Virginia. It’s been quite the week so let’s get right to it. Our home for the few days we spent in Baltimore was a rest area in Laurel, MD. This is where we headed after Brian’s previous post and where our post for this week begins. The place…

14 Sundays Down…(or, 20+ Chowders in Under 2 Hours)

Hello there, readers! Welcome to this week’s installment of… The Blog. We’re so well-rested and relaxed because, believe it or not, we spent almost the ENTIRE WEEK since Brian’s last post sleeping indoors! On a mattress big enough for both of us!! For as long as we wanted!!! The only night not included was the night of that previous post, which was spent at a welcome center/rest area just outside of Providence, RI… and there our tale begins. We arrived…

12 Sundays Down…(or, don’t point that ‘doo at me!)

Hullo there! Lang time nae see, ya wee radges! When we last left you, it was the eve of our last day in Rochester and we had big art museum plans ahead of us. However…we did not make it. Unfortunately we had a combination of a late night, late morning, packing up the car and a long drive ahead of us – enough to deter us from spending the best part of the day in Rochester and to instead head…

10 Sundays Down…(or, Once Upon a Time in…Chicago)

Well hello! Fancy seeing you here. Sorry to have kept you waiting (again), I’ve just been oh so busy… Last time we checked in with everyone we had just arrived in Chicago. Remember that ooey gooey cheesy deep dish pizza pic? I sure do! Don’t worry, there will be more food photos to come…and probably a few other things that we saw and did as well. Our first day in Chicago was a pretty slow-paced one. Dan and Anne (with…

8 Sundays Down…(or, All Things Deep Fried & Skewered)

Hello! It’s your pal Kate, a few days late with the Sunday update. Believe it or not I began this post on Monday in Kansas City, KS…but then Starbucks closed and we were busy busy busy (or out of service service service) for 3 whole days!! Now we’re back, online and very much alive. We ended the last post in a cushy(ish) motel with Brian in dire straits due to a kidney stone plaguing his loins. Luckily he was out…
