every eight years, the bills are guaranteed to play the carolina panthers in charlotte. the last time this happened, we were on the road, the bills were still in their final drought year, josh allen was still in college, and i hadn’t fully completed my indoctrination of the lidkids. this year though. when the schedule […]

owls head lookout
for our final family adventure in the adirondacks, we opted for a 5.2 mile hike to owl’s head lookout. it was pretty wooded and buggy and a mostly steady incline the entire way until a final steep scramble to get us to the top. it clocked in around 1200′ elevation gain total. obligatory foot bridge […]
saranac lake kayak adventures
since i’m not a complete psycho, we didn’t hike every single day we were in the adirondacks. one day, we kayaked. haha. we had to book a little in advance and thankfully, the weather cooperated (was absolutely perfect) on the day we chose. we packed our lunches, loaded into a fleet of kayaks, and began […]
