Weekly Round Up: Domestic Life

 

A weekly round up: eats, workouts, watches, and reads.  This was a domestic week, spent hanging out at home.  I did a little experimenting in the kitchen and my roommate and I kept up with the chores.

Let's Go Places: Red River Gorge, Kentucky feat. Serpent Mound, Shrum Mound, and a Capitol

Friends, who wants to come along for a long weekend adventure with me??????  The primary activity will be staring at rocks.

Well, now that pretty much everyone except you has said "no thanks", let's pack up the car and get wheels up.  We're going to a place called Red River Gorge in Kentucky.  It's about a five hour drive so we have time to make a few stops along the way.

Weekly Round Up: Dog Days of Summer

 

A weekly round up: eats, workouts, watches, reads, and a little early retirement life chit-chat and June travel plans.  Summer is in full swing over here, and someone is making the most of her dog days.

Let's Go Places: Austin, Texas

 

Friends, it's time for part three of three of the great Chicago/Amtrak/Austin rampage.  We're going to check state capital #21 off our list.

Let's Go Places: The Texas Eagle

 

Friends, it is time to get into every last detail of the trip that you've been dying to hear about and that I've been dying to tell you about!  Choo-choo and All Aboard!!!  We are going to take the Texas Eagle, which is Amtrak's Chicago to Texas route.  It's a 30 hour trip, so we will be sleeping (and showering) on the train, and we're doing a round trip.  We are Team Princess so we will be riding in a private roomette.

Let's Go Places: Chicago and Austin Madness!

 

Friends, we have things to talk about! Buckle in and let me tell you about my latest trip.  It started with a single day event in Chicago, and from there it morphed into a 10 day trip that included a train and Texas.  As if that wasn't enough, I scored big time on the travel hacking front.

Weekly Round Up: It Really is Weekly for a Change!

 

A weekly round up: eats, workouts, watches, and reads.  

The last time that we talked, I had just gotten on a train, so I have epic travel stories to tell you.  But we can't be on vacation everyday, so look at me finally dropping a weekly round up on a weekly basis!  Truth in advertising right here!

I firmly believe that everyone needs to have PTO from the internet, and real life takes precedence over blogging, but if I don't keep up a somewhat regular "normie" posting schedule, then I end up forgetting to tell you things and it makes for too much of a backup on books, so let's get into it.
