  • Our Year in Cities 2015

    During 2015, Lindsey and/or I spent at least one night in each of the cities listed below.

    • Traverse City, MI (Hometown)
    • WALT DISNEY WORLD! (Harvey’s 2nd Birthday)
    • Ishpeming, MI (G’ma Rogers’ Funeral)
  • Sunny California

    Lindsey and I traveled to California last week. We spent two days in Santa Monica and Hollywood touring celebrity homes and Rodeo Drive. We spent the balance of our seven day trip at the Pelican Hill Resort located between Newport Beach and Laguna Beach.

    The trip was the first time we both left Harvey, and was also our longest time away from him. He stayed with Grandma and Grandpa Rogers and Aunt Katy, and had a great week visiting the library, museum, and other hot spots. We FaceTimed with him almost everyday, and were a little jealous of all the fun they were having.

    Here’s a few pictures from the trip.

  • Our Year in Cities 2014

    During 2014, Lindsey and/or I spent at least one night in each of the cities listed below.

    • Traverse City, MI (Hometown)
    • Santa Monica, CA (Sightseeing)
    • Newport Coast, CA (Greystone conference)
    • Sand Hills, NE (golf!)
  • Sand Hills Golf Club

    I played Sand Hills Golf Club with Grandpa Dan, Steve, and Adam. The course is recognized as the #1 modern course in the United States, and it lived up to its ranking – mostly because of the golf course and partly because of the unique solitude of the location.
