Going to St. Louis next month for several days. Suppose to be good place to take kids. I’ve never been. Definitely want to go up in the Arch and visit Mark Twain national forest. We’re kind of stuck in no man’s land with the ages of our kids (3 and 7.) 

Go to Pappys BBQ and PI Pizza. They are both great. If you have a day away from the kids the Budweiser Tour is actually really cool you see the stables and Dalmatians. The whole place seems like its made of gold and clean beyond belief. The Zoo was okay too.

Last week and a half, I have been in Madison (WI), Pittsburgh, Dayton, Columbia (SC), and currently sitting in Meigs County.

Are those places with the St. Louis style pie (super thin with the Provel cheese)?

Madison is a beautiful place. A former client lived in a huge house on one of the lakes. After having my boss and I over for dinner, we walked down to his boat dock and took a city tour.

Agreed. I have had to go twice for work, and was impressed by it both times.

True. Reminds me of a couple of business trips I had to make to Edmonton. My boss went along on the June trip, but somehow found the confidence to send me alone in January.

Yeah, it's been a little rainy, but the flight in was smooth.

Just booked a 7 week colive setup in Mexico starting the end of August. Sayulita, Playa Del Carmen, then Isla Mujeres.

If I love it, I'll come back for the winter, then go back early spring and settle on an apartment somewhere. Rent is very cheap there so I figure I should take advantage while I can.

Just canceled my yearly trip to the Boundary Waters in Minnesota due to all of the wildfires in the area. Pretty bummed about that.

I'm coming back up to Ohio in October to pick up my new puppy. Plan on going to the Maryland game that weekend.
