spring break (in my late 40s).

Posted on March 8, 2025March 19, 2025by sarah

my spring break at forsyth tech was a measly four days long and also did not coincide with the girls spring break from public school, so it seemed like another good time to make a dash into the wilderness, for a little solo, camping, hiking, rest, and recharge trip. since it was the first week […]

thanksgiving in batavia.

Posted on November 30, 2024February 17, 2025by sarah

since we didn’t make it to ny all summer, we decided to head up for thanksgiving this year. when we homeschooled and then in covid and then when the schools gave a whole week for thanksgiving, it was a lot easier. but with kids in activities and work and my school, it was a little […]

down the final stretch…

after madison, we really had nothing to do but make our way across the country to home. of course, we found a few little stops along the way, but it was mostly a ton of driving. by derek. our route took us to an old familiar city that i really had never expected to see […]

a trio of midwest capitols.

Posted on August 5, 2021October 2, 2021by sarah

as we trekked home across the midwest, we passed through (or slightly detoured to) the capital cities of several states, and stopped to for obligatory photos for #lidbomstatecapitaltour. these three brought our grand total to 27. firstly, lincoln nebraska. we stopped on our way to the homestead national monument. it was a pretty quick and […]

brown v. board of education.

Posted on August 3, 2021October 2, 2021by sarah

after our little stop in lincoln nebraska, we were headed to just outside kansas city, missouri next. the commute was only a few hours, so i stuffed in as much as i could on our travel day. so, after our morning at the quilt museum, the kiddos and i hit the road, with a plan […]

Posted on July 8, 2021September 28, 2021by sarah

we had a fantabulous time in glacier, but all good things much come to an end, or whatever it is they say. so, on july 5th, we began our long trip from northwest montana towards the black hills of south dakota, with a few stops along the way. first of all, in case you were […]

from MN to (WI to MN to WI to MN to) ND.

Posted on June 19, 2021October 2, 2021by sarah

before we left the twin cities, and minnesota altogether, i was determined to squeeze in one more activity. derek had to work all day before he could make the journey to meet us in fargo, so we had quite a bit of time to kill. i settled on driving a little out of the way, […]

Posted on September 28, 2020October 1, 2020by sarah
