Before Audrey and I head off for a three week roadtrip next weekend I’m working some fairly ridiculous hours to try and get everything finished at work – leaving the house at 7AM and staying at the office until after 7PM sort of blows. Add in a trip to the gym and days have literally been sleep – work – gym – one hour of lounging – repeat; vacation will be a very good thing.<\/p>\n
Despite the crazy hours there were two adventures this month. Early in the month I went to Phoenix to visit Aaron. The plan had been naps & chicken, but after getting chicken burritos naps were tossed aside and we went to Dave and Buster’s<\/a> to play games and then spent the following evening lounging at the bar at the Desert Ridge Resort<\/a>. The following weekend Audrey and I hopped on the Marina del Rey Flyer<\/a> and spent two nights with her mom and step-dad in Two Harbours on Catalina Island. The amount of napping on this trip went above and beyond what could be considered reasonably by any normal person.<\/p>\n The plan for the coming week is to work to the point of collapse, rest on Saturday, and then head to San Diego Sunday for a friend’s wedding before traversing the desert, making a pass by the Grand Canyon, and then heading through Utah and up into Wyoming towards Yellowstone and the Tetons. Audrey has never been to Yellowstone and I haven’t been in nearly ten years, so we’re both pretty excited to visiting the Cowboy State.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Before Audrey and I head off for a three week roadtrip next weekend I’m working some fairly ridiculous hours to try and get everything finished at work – leaving the house at 7AM and staying at the office until after 7PM sort of blows.
