Rest Stop I-80 EB Tiffin
We are headed to the Ark Experience in Kentucky and just stopped at an interesting rest area. It seemed to be themed about writing because there was a giant old school ink pen at the entrance and giant script font on the front of the building. Inside were other things like all types of fonts […]
Florida Trip 2021 – Day 6 – Friday – Siesta Key
On our last big day out we planned to go to the #1 beach in America, Siesta Key Beach. It’s our #1 also with sand the consistency of powdered sugar. We planned to eat out all day so we started with Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks. I had to grab a picture of the sign because […]
Florida Trip 2021 – Day 5 – Thursday – Sanibel Island
On Thursday we strategized to go to the beach later in the day. We wanted to kids to rest a bit in the morning after just going to a beach the day before. We also wanted less sunburn and less traffic. Our final goal was to watch the sunset on the beach. I started off […]
Florida Trip 2021 – Day 4 – Wednesday – Fort Myers Beach
We like to start with a chill morning… reading, email and bunny petting. Today was a planned beach day and we chose one near us, Fort Myers Beach. It’s definitely a popular beach and traffic was proof! During our drive I got a FaceTime call from a special friend! Once we arrived, we had to […]

Florida Trip 2021 – Day 2 – Monday – Shopping & Pool
After breakfast a few of us headed out to grab groceries while everyone else got in the pool. There are multiple Targets, Aldis and of course, Starbucks near where we are staying. We spent most of the rest of the day next to the pool and chillin’. The kids were impressed with the custom cars […]
Florida Trip 2021 – Day 1 – Sunday – Travel Day
Sunday was a very long day for me. I went two hours north on Thursday to setup for a youth trip, then ran the retreat on Friday and Saturday. After the last session at 7:30pm, I tore down, packed up and drove back to Des Moines arriving at about 12:30am. My alarm was set for […]
WandaVision (and ScreenCrush)
I kept seeing and hearing about the show WandaVision and it was just about when it was first coming out so most of the imagery looked like this: I was definitely intrigued but I just didn’t have time to check it out and I’m not even close to caught up on Marvel movies so I […]
