Welp if the suspense from the wait hasn't heightened enough that's okay because in this post we not only finish our Hawaii trip but we live thru the Hawaiian Ballistic Missile Scare of 2018. So where we left off on the last post of Kauai, HI 2018 Part I : was where the locals weren't too [...]
We booked this trip like we do a lot of our trips - a year in advance. We decided on January because it's cold here in Minnesota and it'll be nice to get away to somewhere warm! We booked an AirBnB, flight and rental car. We touched down in Kauai, HI after having a [...]
I'm turning 30 in October. Is that a big deal? I don't really care about numbers but in the past couple years I've gone from decent shape physically to better shape to the worst shape of my life bent over hunched to my right and stuck there until my body lets me know that its [...]
Time is the most valuable thing in the world. Why? When a second passes by you never get that second back again and by the time if/when you think about it 30 more have passed. Each second should be so meaningful and great because we all have a limited amount of them left. Time is [...]

Before I start talking about Beulah let me explain a little about my brother and sister-in-law. I touched on this in the post about us going to Yellowstone and Stanley but let me clarify and give some background information. They met in kindergarten and then started dating in college. Got married and bought a great [...]
I remember when I was young my parents would always tell me that I didn't need 99 % of what I wanted and asked for. I nodded and was quiet for a while then next time I saw something else it was the same deal.. Over .. and Over again.. UNTIL when I was [...]
We're usually pretty good about planning and booking our trips at least a year in advance. Over a year ago my parents had sent out a mass text to the family about going to Stanley, ID for a family vacation in August 2017. I grew up going out west on camping trips with my family [...]
