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…

Well hey there!

Well hey there!

Hey y’all, how you fine folks doin’? What’s that you say? What accent? C’mon now y’all – I done always talked this way! Sorry! It would seem that now that we’ve started venturing toward the south, my surroundings are getting the better of me. Where do I begin? At the beginning of the week of course. As Kate informed y’all you all last week we left Charlottesville on Monday. We drove for a little while before hunger struck. We were…

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

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…

A week in and out of coffee shops.

A week in and out of coffee shops.

As Kate left off at the end of last week’s post: Of course I forgot my toothbrush! Of course I did! We turned around and drove back 20 minutes to go pick it up as it is an electric toothbrush and not just a quick pharmacy-replaceable one. I had also forgotten the charger. When we got back we were welcomed and appropriately giggled at for forgetting it. Having properly grabbed everything this time we departed. The Ritter family had graciously…

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!)

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…

In regards to last week’s post – we died. End of blog. Thank you for viewing. So what am I on about? Did we survive? Did we make it? As Kate mentioned at the very end of last week’s post, we had stayed the night at a vaguely named rest area with suspicious water quality and lingering police. It all turned out fine. We slept peacefully and no one bothered us at all. We awoke and after doing some quick…

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…

The Midwest.

The Midwest.

Hello everyone, it’s ya boi – Brian. This week was a good one but there were some definite crummy nights. As an overview of where we went during the week: Kansas City, The Mark Twain National Forest, Saint Louis, Chicago. Can’t get any more midwestern than that! When Kate ended the last post she mentioned that I got to indulge in my first authentic Kansas City BBQ experience. 12/10 Would recommend to anyone. Before I jump right into the glorification…
