Home for The Holidays

In about 20 hours and 5,200 miles we’ll be back in Detroit - a mere two weeks after landing in Hawaii. How and why did we plan it this way? Because I (Nate) wanted to get all this on my taxes for Fiscal Year 2011. 

Was it worth it? I don’t know - I guess we’ll find out as close to early April as possible. 

Whatever the case, we’re excited to be around family and I’m excited to go back to my childhood home. As much as I love exploring the world, I feel like I can only head out the way I do because I know Detroit will always be home. 

Looking forward to driving west down Eleven Mile, in between Orchard Lake and Farmington. The tree tunnel, the proper midwest houses, all indicators that I’m home. After every adventure, every time, that particular stretch is where it always sets in. 

Looking forward to seeing you all. We’re sorry Maxwell couldn’t make it this year - hopefully you’ll all come out to see him in due time.

We took Maxwell on his maiden voyage in the crate today. We want to get him used to the fact that it won’t always be stationary - that he’ll be in there while it’s moving. Better get him used to the notion before 5 hours on a plane. This photo was 10 minutes into a trip down to see Dad and Marlene. He was much better on the way home.

Our honeymoon, reloaded. This footage has been sitting around for a year now. We miss Iceland, and we especially miss all the great people we met there. As you can see in the video, the place itself is amazing. The people are the best, though. We’ll be back someday.
