If I recall correctly Rivers currently has the longest streak of consecutive games played in the NFL. Even in the offense and QB friendly structure of the NFL that’s a pretty impressive stat in my opinion. Even though San Diego didn’t win two Super Bowls I still think they ended up with the better ...

It’s amazing to me how many restaurants can’t get a takeout order correct. It seems to happen where one or more of our orders isn’t correct every 2-3 weeks.

It’s a lot easier to plan around peak times and expensive airfare or lodging when you don’t have to worry about school schedules. I mentioned Thailand earlier but we also ended up in Mendoza Argentina one year because it was cheaper in May than a week in Napa Valley/Sonoma. I think Disney is a littl...

Edit: It's number 11. I looked up the list and have never heard of #8 or #9.

Based on the question you’re right because the one listed as #9 is man made.

It's easy to forget how massive it is though. I went and looked now too. I knew Salt Lake and assumed LOTW. Probably ...

I still remember that my wife wanted to go to DisneyWorld a couple years before we got married and before we had kids. To stay at a mid tier resort for a week with everything (this was 2007 or 2008) was more expensive than a 17 day trip through Thailand. We went there instead. Nothing at Disney is c...

Where do you like to stay at Disney? We’ve really liked Port Orleans for the price.

Sadly our friends who were Cast Members got let go. I don’t think they are going back so our discounted hotel spigot dried up.

We're kicking around the idea of a late summer road trip to Utah to go to the National Parks out there.

We finally stopped over at Luce Line Brewing in Plymouth. It was pretty packed at 4pm on Saturday so we just picked up a couple crowlers instead of hanging out.

We've been getting a little worn out on Asian takeout food lately so we got takeout from Pimento last night on Eat Street. Their jerk chicken and jerk pork is just so good.
