We just realized it’s been 9 months since our last post. Like most people, we didn’t travel a ton during COVID, but we did manage to sneak in some safe, masked-up, socially distanced travel here and there:

September/October 2020: Andy took a motorcycle trip with some buddies through Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah. They rode some great roads, like the Devil’s Highway, the Grand Staircase, and around Flaming Gorge. Andy then peeled off and spent a few days solo riding around northern Arizona before heading to San Diego, where Jake and Maggie had rented a beachfront house for a couple of months. He also made a quick trip up to Ashland to see Michelle and other family members. I flew out and joined the fam in San Diego, and we spent a couple of weeks just chillin’ at the beach. Such a relaxing time! Andy and I left in early November and did a couple of days in the hills on the northeast side of LA, and then back home.

January 2020: Andy went to south Texas for the annual Big Bend Freeze Out. It was a very pleasant ride, as this was not a cold year.

March 2020: We did a quick long weekend trip to the Hill Country in late March with a group of motorcycle friends. Stayed at the fantastic River Inn, per usual, and rode the Twisted Sisters, per usual.

April 2020: We made a quick trip out to DC to see Alex, and met his girlfriend, Chloe. Great visit and good to see DC beginning to open back up again. Had a chance encounter with my cousin, Natalie, at the DC Market. Small world.

May 2020: We spent a lovely long weekend at a resort in Puerto Vallarta to celebrate our 29th wedding anniversary. Just full-on pool time. Fantastic! We also made a quick bike trip up to Branson in late May; one nice day at Silver Dollar City and one nice day of riding southern Missouri and northern Arkansas. We also saw a couple of shows while there. Things are starting to feel back to normal.

We’re so happy to be getting back out there, sans mask for the most part!
