On the Twenty-Third Day of Advent We Drove to Detroit

After spending the night in Cudahy it was time to head to our next destination, Detroit.

For once Scott wanted to get going right away. It's usually me who is in a rush to leave. He didn't even want to wait for me to have breakfast so I grabbed a bagel and cream cheese.

Of course we had to head through Chicago to get to Detroit.

After ten bucks in tolls we made it to Indiana.

After a while there was less and less snow. So much for a white Christmas.

There was a bit more snow in Michigan. A lot of trees were iced over from a recent ice storm, but it was all gone by the time we made it to Detroit.

We met up with Katie at her Grandma-In-Law's house where Meadow got to meet her cousin Simone.

It was exciting to meet our newest baby niece.

Dennis's grandma had us eat a bunch of her Lebanese leftovers.

It was all really good.

The cousins had fun playing together.

Meadow actually looks big when she's by Simone.

They both loved these rings and playing with Uncle Dennis.

Meadow had to take a break from the fun for some boob milk.

How can you not love baby feet?

It was exciting to see my big sis. We hadn't seen Dennis and Katrina since our visit to the Bay Area before they moved to Michigan.

We would've played all night, but we had to get to our hotel.

Once Scott's parents arrived we met up with them at the hotel down the road.

I love the pictures of Meadow and Simone. Little friends already!

RV Spring Break: Savannah to Miami

Oh, hey, we made it to Savannah. Time for a nice stroll (well, as leisurely as Brooke will allow). I was pretty excited to be going to Savannah, even if we could only stay for a few hours. The tricky thing with having an RV is finding a place to park. The Fahm Avenue parking lot had RV spots and then we walked over to the historic district. Meadow should go to the Savannah College of Art and Design. You know, if she can get a scholarship. Savannah is just as cool in person as you think. I should have done at least one house tour. I had to embarrass Meadow with taking her photo in front of the first Girl Scout Headquarters. Brooke got me to go into the beautiful Catholic church right in the historic district. I don't think I've ever been in a Cathedral Basilica. Usually it's one or the other. It seems like every few blocks there was a perfect square. We should build all cities like this. For lunch we went to Savannah Smokehouse . We ended up getting the sampler for 2, whi...

Work Trip to Nashville and Jackson, TN

A day after getting back from our RV road trip I flew out to Tennessee for another college campus 360 shoot. Oh, yeah, that's what I do for a living. Shoot 360s and architectural photography . I told him he should have changed his flight to just go directly to Nashville. Anyways after shooting at Union University in Jackson, Tennessee, I took my clients recommendation and ate at Clifton Brothers BBQ on the outskirts of town. Don't believe the negative reviews (who mostly don't seem to understand sometimes staff are new or overworked), great BBQ. The client said that some people call Jackson a suburb without a city. That made me intrigued, so before heading to Nashville for my flight home, I thought I'd check out the downtown. Cool old houses. Check. Sweet art moderne Greyhound station. Check. Strange store full of oddities. Check. Wow this reminds of the bank in Little Chute.

Marina Turns 12, the Whole Farber Clan Visits

Marina wanted to come to Minneapolis for her birthday again. This weekend was all about her. One of Marina's requests was to go to the fabric store. We need some new napkins so I thought I would look for fabric too. We hit up our favorite fabric warehouse, SR Harris. SR Harris didn't have anything we wanted so we checked out one of the going-out-of-business Joann Fabrics. They had a 2 yard minimum, guess I'll be making lots of napkins. While the ladies went and had fun, I took apart the boards to the ice rink. Another year of backyard ice skating in the books. Marina had some birthday money to spend on items for her bedroom. Ikea it is. My kids love Ikea. This kids couch is cute. Leave it to Meadow to find the cat items.
