catching up in Kalamazoo

Life has been a little slow out here in South Bend the past couple of months.  Allison has been working a bit and weekends have been included in those work weeks.  Luckily a couple Saturdays ago Allison didn't have to work and we planned a little get away to Kalamazoo.  A sweet little city in Michigan.  There we went to the Kalamazoo Valley Museum.  It was chemistry day so tons of kids were there doing fun little experiments.  Allison and I decide to focus on being news anchors and weathermen.  I'm pretty sure this museum was for kids after attending it, but it was fun.  We also hit the Kalamazoo Institute of Art.  It was small fine arts museum attached to an art school.  It was a fun little weekend.

grab that arch

Allison and I went to St. Louis a couple months ago. It was a lot of fun. The arch was pretty awesome. The only bad part was at the top. I got a little sea sick after I realized how much it was wobbling at the top. Even with my fear of heights the thing that did me in was the swaying. It was a ton of fun.

I also love this picture. Me grabbing the gate way to the west. I still miss the west at times. It holds my entire family. No one left east of the Mississippi but me and Allison. A little crazy to think that. I love it here in the Midwest or east of the Mississippi. Plus Allison and I have so many great adventures together. Everything was so far away in Boise. Salt Lake was six hours and that was the closest big city to us. Here Indianapolis is an hour away. Cincinnati is a little over two hours away. St. Louis and Chicago are about five hours away. Louisville is two hours. So many different place to go and see. We're so lucky.
