Swimming with Whale Sharks in Oslob, Cebu
We just got back from our family trip to the Philippines! We’ve visited family in The Philippines and Australia every year since our honeymoon.

Hiking and Ice Climbing the Catskills: Kaaterskill Falls, New York

It was my brother-in-law, Dennis’ idea to head that way when planning their trip up here. I didn’t know much about the area, other than the name sounded awfully familiar. If you’re not from […]

Hiking Sam’s Point in Minnewaska State Park, New York
Every Christmas Eve, I stay up extra late either wrapping up a DIY gift with the help of some elves, making sure everything is in its place so some fat guy can eat my delicious cookies and make a mess of my house, then my son can wake up the next morning and thrash through […]
