Spring Break Road Trip!

Matthew — Sun, 03 Apr 2011 14:46:26 +0000

While sitting around trying to figure out just what to do for Spring Break this year, it occurred to me that road trips don’t have to necessarily be reserved for summer vacations. With that in mind I dialed up google maps and started to ponder just where our journey could take us. We needed a [...]

A Magical Return!

Matthew — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 05:27:37 +0000

Honestly, I have to be the luckiest guy on earth…for I have now enjoyed not one, but TWO magical journeys to Walt Disney World with my amazing family. There’s just something about these vacations that get me all giddy inside just thinking about them. As most of you know, Jen and I surprised the kiddos [...]

A Special Halloween Treat!

Matthew — Mon, 01 Nov 2010 14:38:15 +0000

Finally! The secret is out and we can talk about it! Many of you may remember how we surprised the kiddos last year with a special trip to Disney World…well, we decided the trip was so special that it was time to head back. We planned and booked the trip months ago, and we’ve been [...]

MICHIGAN 2010: The Videos

Matthew — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 21:07:27 +0000

Well…..we’re back!! It was a wonderful vacation that has (again) provided us with memories to last a lifetime. But as we try to ease back into our routines (and crawl out of the mountain of laundry), it is taking a little longer to get the pictures organized and blog post written up. So, I thought [...]

VACATION!! (finally!)

Matthew — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 15:57:44 +0000

Ahhhhhh…the time has finally come! For the next 16 days, we will be enjoying a nice break from the day-to-day grind. Gone will be the conference calls…and meetings…and household chores…and laundry…and ’blah’. Yep…all of that will be gone soon. In case you’re wondering what could possibly replace all those things? Well how about drinks on the deck at [...]

Family Reunion – 2010

Matthew — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 22:41:09 +0000

Another 4th of July with family has come and gone. And while it’s only been a week since we returned from New Mexico, I already find myself reflecting on the peacefulness and beauty of the land we get to enjoy once a year, and the memories of family we don’t see nearly often enough. After [...]

A Week to Remember

Matthew — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 18:17:01 +0000

As everyone knows by now, we decided to do something extra special for spring break this year, and we headed out to visit Grandma and Gramps on Nantucket! It was everything we could have hoped it would be, full of special memories that will last a lifetime. And while it certainly isn’t possible to summarize [...]

A Great Vacation – By the Numbers

Matthew — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 21:25:13 +0000

We’re home! For those of you who don’t know, Jen and I took the kiddos out to Nantucket for spring break – and what a fantastic spring break it was!! We flew out of Denver on the red-eye flight (11:59pm) on Thursday, March 18th and returned early in the morning March 26th (and when I [...]

“Nice to meet you Mr. Eeyore…”

Matthew — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 03:01:30 +0000

As threatened promised, there was no way I was going to do just one Disney World post on this site. The trip was just tooooooo amazing to cram into a few paragraphs! So, for the latest update, I thought I would focus on all the special Disney characters the kiddos were able to meet while [...]

A Truly ‘Magical’ Vacation

Matthew — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 06:51:57 +0000

So I have been procrastinating the inevitable ‘Disney-World-Post’ because I have no idea how to cram so many unbelievably amazing memories into a few paragraphs. Alas, I have decided to not worry about trying to capture EVERYTHING, and I will just share some pictures of our unforgettable vacation. Without question, this was – and will [...]
