One year ago a day ago Adam and I were sitting at the Ritz in Tokyo about to enjoy our first experience of sushi in Japan to celebrate our 6 year wedding anniversary. My how time flies. Yesterday morning we were enjoying a mountain drive home after a experiencing our first “closing weekend” at Vail […]
Circus Music
Do you ever have experiences where circus music seems to be the most appropriate soundtrack for that particular moment? It happens to me all the time. (That’s not crazy at all). Particularly when I do something doofishy, doh!-ish or just plain stupid. Lots of times, as it turns out, these moments occur on our travels. […]
Perspective
The many blogs I read more often than not have at least one post relating to the never ending quest to find and maintain a healthy perspective in your life. I, too, believe in the benefits of perspective – it helps keep you sane when you start to fret over how green the grass always […]

Adam’s Uncle Bruce and Aunty Cheryl were in Perth visiting Cheryl’s family and decided to send us out there too (hooray!). Adam and his brother Dustin had visited the […]
