In our house just about anything with garlic and potatoes in the recipe means success. Mark is a self-proclaimed “meatatarian” and is a major potato lover. I, along with being a huge chocoholic, am also a garlicoholic. Great word, huh? In 2006 we were in San Francisco and caught the Angels-Giants game, which of course…

Tire Pressure Monitoring System
TPMS, that’s sexy talk. But seriously, there is nothing sexy about a blown tire. They always happen at the most inopportune time and for us, in the middle of nowhere. Like 100 miles east of Denver on Interstate 70 middle of nowhere. Thankfully, blow outs were only an occasional happening. Our first blowout was on…
Spa Day
Mark’s girlfriend, aka our Phaeton, just had a luxurious spa day. She’s a lucky girl. Every February Andrew and his wonderful crew from ANS Detailing work their magic on this pretty girl. Mark found Andrew shortly after we bought this new girlfriend and we’ve been using him ever since. He is based out of Scottsdale…
Playing in Park City
A trip to Park City is a trip to adventure. Or not, if that’s how you roll. Like most mountain towns in the west, Park City sprung up as a mining town in the late 1800’s. As you walk along the main streets of town, take a look at the buildings because many have a…
A President Slept Here
We just returned from a fun ski trip to Idaho. Specifically ski resort named Tamarack. Officially it’s located in Donnelly, about 95 miles north of Boise. We’ve been to Tamarack a few times before, all in the summer. It’s a fun place to hike, ride your mountain bike and zip-line. We’ve skied in nearby McCall…
Love is in the Air
Wishing you a Happy Valentine’s Day! No fancy restaurant for us. We will be dining in, eating on the good china. Since the Olympics are on, we may be eating in the kitchen instead of the dining room. The menu tonight is our usual Valentine’s dinner of bacon wrapped filet, steamed artichokes, garlic mashed potatoes…
Chatting with FMCA
Good morning and Happy Monday! I recently had the pleasure of talking with the FMCA President, Jon Walker. We talked about our mutual sense of adventure, water skiing and love of travel. This morning he shared it on the FMCA Instagram account! OMG! So exciting! Meet “The X-Games”
Sauteed Asparagus
Show of hands…do you know where the asparagus capital of the country is? I figured it would be in California or a southern belt state but I was wrong. It’s Oceana County in Michigan! A large amount is also grown in the San Joaquin Valley in California as well. Both locations host an annual Asparagus…
Stunning Sedona
There is something magical about this place and I’m not talking about the whole vortex thing. I’m talking about the raw beauty of Sedona. No matter what way you drive in, there is beauty and majesty at every turn. Our first trip was in October, 1998. Our school district runs a modified calendar and there…
