Paul Bunyan and Other Big Things
A few posts ago, I mentioned that April and I had penchant for searching for “World’s Biggest [insert random object here]”–well, this trip was filled with them! I mean, how else are you going to break up a long road trip? sidenote: now that I’m thinking about it, Minnesota and Australia seem to have a large number of … Continue reading Paul Bunyan and Other Big Things
Chinese Non-Delivery

The Great Canadian Trek
Having made the grand loop in International Falls in record time, we then decided to just go for broke and head to Canada.

As such, I’ve decided that rather than share pictures of me with bad 80s hair and glasses that legitimately covered half my face, I could easily share glasses … Continue reading Thirsty Thursday #13

Margarita Monday, Part Siete
Yes, that is a jalapeño floating in that there margarita. It is, in fact, a jalapeño margarita. I will confess that it wasn’t MY jalapeño margarita, rather it belonged to TK. I had, if you will remember the original Margarita Monday, the blood orange margarita. While the jalapeño margarita was definitely a novelty and very … Continue reading Margarita Monday, Part Siete
