Food for Thought with Jessica Lipowski
As we travel, food acts as a bridge, connecting us to each destination. While it’s not the only way to gain insight into a new culture, it’s certainly a delicious one! Shopping at a local market, discovering a new dish (better yet learning how to prepare it) or sharing a meal with local residents all […]
Totally Tubular: Lava River Cave, Oregon
Lava in Oregon? What’s the first thing that comes to mind when contemplating a visit to Oregon? Chances are lava tubes weren’t among the responses. As it turns out, Oregon is a great place to explore volcanic landscapes. The city of Bend, along with several others nearby, are part of the central hub for caving activities […]
Biosphere 2, but no Pauley Shore here!
Ever since seeing the movie Bio-Dome in the 90s, I’ve been intrigued by giant glass enclosures in the middle of the desert. Anyone who knows the movie can’t deny having the same feelings! Little did I know that our job would bring me the opportunity to check out the real deal first hand. About an hour […]
Wild Caving in Inner Space Cavern
Wild Caving Wild caves are often largely unexplored. Unlike show caves, like the famous Carlsbad Caverns or the lesser-known Dixie Caverns, wild caves haven’t been developed to allow easy access by the public. There are no handrails, no illumination, no stairs and ramps. Wild caving should only be undertaken by people with special caving equipment, […]
Food for Thought with 1 Dad 1 Kid

Food for Thought with Two Monkeys Travel
For many of us, food is a big part of our travels. We’re tempted by new flavors and colors. Once we’ve left, food memories become powerful triggers, bringing us careening back to places we’ve visited. In our case, we love to visit local markets and experiment with street food. There’s so much to learn from what […]
Memories from the Road: RV Travel for Gameday

Food for Thought with An American Abroad
Some think of eating as just a means to survive, while others think of food as one of the great pleasures in life. We are fortunate, and the latter is the school we subscribe to. Regardless of how you view it, food tends to bring people together. For us, sharing a meal has broken down barriers and […]
Cranberries, History and Puppies in Carver, MA
Sometimes the most mundane errands can turn into a lovely adventure. My Dad lost his faithful companion, Yankee this past spring, and he’s really been missing the companionship and fun of a dog. We accompanied his wife and him to check out some Golden Retriever puppies in Carver, MA, a town an hour or so away […]
