This is a short post to reflect on one of our recent wins. Enjoy! On May 27th, 2022 Helen revealed to her concerned older sister that she purchased her first motorcycle. Her justifications was simply "It's a good investment": Pictures may hold a thousand words, emojis
Note this post is a little delayed but better late than never. The remainder of our time in Michigan passed quickly. We laughed, shared stories in front of the bonfire, ate tasty home cooked meals, enjoyed the occasional break to cheer on team USA, and competed in the first Collins
Our Mid-summer adventures began with a trip to Peoria, IL. Adam's Dad dropped out of our spectator group, but Helen, Adam, and Joe (Adam's brother) kept the disc golf spirit alive. We made our way to Peoria and stopped to play a round of disc golf
We returned home the night of Wednesday, July 17, 2024; just in time to pick up our cat, Kovu, from the babysitter, Amy a friend of Kovu's and Helen's former roommate, before we left for Tahoe. When we arrived at Amy's it was clear
Today could be our final day of the road trip. All we had to do was ride an estimated 483 miles south and we'd be home. After 17 nights and 18 days on the road we were giddy at the idea of returning to a warm, already made

After the previous day’s hike this was a day of rest and motorcycling but mostly motorcycling. We went through our usual routine of making breakfast and packing up camp in the morning. Then we mounted our bikes with one target in mind: the number one rated road in all
Since the start of the trip, Helen has been craving a long hike. We’ve done some good hikes, but nothing truly challenging. After some research Helen finally found the hike she was looking for—a 14 mile trail with 5,000 ft elevation gain. Best of all, we could
Today is the day we return to our birth land. We will cross the border via Ferry from Vancouver Island. Our 9 days in Canada taught us a lot, but mostly Canadians are just Americans with funny accents. We slept in until 9 or 10; savoring our final fleeting in
It was a beautiful day and we were itching for some adventures. So we got on the bike, Adam driving and Helen on the back. We worked our way around the cost on another beautiful twisty road. Helen’s scientist eyes were in full effect and she spotted a bald
Our vacation from our vacation during our sabbatical came to an end today. We awoke refreshed and recharged and ready to go. Helen made sandwiches while Adam packed the bags; playing his game of Tetris to utilize every inch of precious space. We stopped at Tim Hortons for breakfast and
