Summer’s End
We celebrated the last day of summer and the start of the charcuterie season with a trip down to Jungle Jim’s International Market in Fairfield, OH. With over 1,400 varieties of cheese and products from 70 countries, it’s a destination shopping experience. We made a stop on the way home at Third Eye brewing in…

Merida..Cooking, Adventuring, and Lots and Lots of Walking in the Land of the Myans.
90,000 steps in 5 days. That might be weeks worth of walking for most Americans, but it’s just the way we like to explore the Yucatan’s capital city, Merida. Some people love vacationing on the beaches of Florida, others enjoy the forested mountains around Gatlinburg….we love Merida, Mexico. This year marks Heather’s 5th trip, and…

Sometimes We Ditch the Bikes
Without a doubt our favorite way to see the world is on two wheels, but sometimes you have to slow down, and just walk in the woods. While Heather relishes the warmth of summer (and the Tomatoes she grows in the garden), I need the cool crispness of autumn.

A Metric Century and Cider
2024 Marks Heather’s first year logging as many mile on two wheels, outside, as she has on her NordicTrack bike. While she loves “riding” in the far flung places she’s electronically transported to via her IFit screen, Hawaii, Cappadocia, the streets of Berlin, it’s hard to beat the feeling of freedom to rolling along quite…

“Probably our best trip…”
We combined bicycling and bourbon into what was a super fun 2 night visit to Lexington. Highlights of the trip included German food at Ethereal, checking out Bicycle Face and Pedal Power, riding the Legacy trail twice, and scoring Blanton’s and Weller at Buffalo Trace, with a bonus walk-in to the Trace tour with Donna.…

We ❤️ Detroit
It’s always been one of my favorite city’s and I was very happy to share it with Andy, albeit briefly. In just 24 hours we sampled 5 breweries, viewed a multitude of public art, toured the newly renovated central train station, and walked over 10 miles. As an urban planner, I’ve always been fascinated by…

Midwinter in Mid-Indiana
We had the opportunity to be in Frankfurt, IN so we decided to make a weekend of it. We stopped in for a quick beer at Taeys River, which had decent brews and wood fired pizza (which we didn’t try, but smelled delicious), before checking into our Airbnb that was conveniently located in downtown Lafayette…

Merida for the win (again) – part 2
A trip to the Yucatán isn’t complete without a visit to a Cenote. We scheduled a Saturday excursion via email before we left the US with a very nice gentleman named Ralf. We were lucky that kismet brought us together because our day was spectacular. Ralf could not have been more amazing if he tried.…

Merida for the win (again) – Part 1
This magic city boasts a sparkling clean airport with the fastest immigration/customs you’d ever hope for. The second safest city in North America with the highest QOL in Mexico AND a top notch medical system? Mérida has so much to offer residents and visitors alike. In seven hours we went from -8 F to 80…

The Vox Humana of Travel Part Deux
Our travels were made special by the people we met along the way. MUNICH What could bring people together more than tankards of Helles Lager, the finesest of pretzels, and an Oompah belting out the greatest 80s hits with Deutsches flair; our Oktoberfest experience was made complete by sitting across the Marstal tent from Poppy…
