I haven't had much to blog about lately, so here are a few updates from our house-
We're enjoying our living room rearrangement, and watched Skyfall, the latest Bond movie last night. I've been wanting to see it for a while now, and still can't figure out why we didn't go it when it was still in the theaters? Regardless, it was entertaining even though I didn't love it as much as I thought I would.
Our Washington, DC trip with my family in June is mostly booked. We've been wanting to go there together for a few years now, so when the Twins schedule came out and they were playing the Nationals in DC, it was a no brainer. Bonus is that it's over my dad's birthday and he enjoys going on trips then. We're all going to the game together on his birthday night. Then on Saturday, just Adam, Christine and I will be going. I can't wait to see another ballpark (#6/30 together), and share the experience with my fam. Plus, we're going to visit a lot of the museums and monuments while in DC. We should have a good amount of time to see a lot as we'll be there for 5 nights. I already booked the air and baseball tickets, so now we're just finalizing our hotel selection.
I've also been busy trip planning for our anniversary trip to Seattle! Once again, when looking at the Twins schedule, they were going to playing the Mariners at Safeco the weekend after our anniversary. Since we always like to do something special to mark this date (1st anniversary in Duluth, 2nd anniversary on Madeline Island), we decided to go for it. It will be ballpark #7/30. We hope to see the Twins play at them all eventually. I have our hotels for Seattle and our visit to Mt. Rainier booked, and just ordered our baseball tickets today. We won't have a lot of time to see things since we'll just be there for 4 nights (3 in Seattle, 1 at Mt Rainier), but I have our itinerary all planned out. I just need to keep watching that pesky airfare. It's super high right now, and I think it's because July is a popular time to go to Seattle. Plus a lot of Alaskan cruises are leaving from there in July. I'm hoping to find a decent price... we'll see...
Otherwise we're just looking forward to the snow melting and warm weather! Chester is adorable as ever, and loves the new antler I gave him while Adam was in California. He's such a good boy.

Dang Household Updates: June Edition
Chester:
- Our little baby guy is going to be 2 in 3 weeks! We can't believe it. Of course, I already have his birthday presents (a few bones and Tuffy toys, but shh don't tell him).
- Lately, Chester has really enjoyed laying by the fan and open window in bed while I read.
- We've also discovered that Chester likes strawberries and tomatoes (minus the skin). He does not like lettuce, which is surprising as he loves to eat grass. Strange little puppy.
Adam:
- Adam is loving having a fishing boat to use! He's been going out fishing every Friday afternoon (he gets off early because of summer hours) with a friend from work. I've been out with him a few times as well, which has been a lot of fun. Poor Chester doesn't get to come with though. He'd probably be stressed.
- The grill master has also been busy this summer. We try to grill out at least once a week, often twice or more. So far he's made some awesome Jucy Lucys, meatballs, hamburgers, brats, pizza, steaks, shrimp, veggies, pork chops and garlic bread. We have some new recipes that I'm eager to try as well. Grilling is awesome.
Stef:
- I FINALLY have all our hotels booked for our Europe trip in September. In the past week or so I've booked for Dublin, Doolin and Galway. I think Adam is happy he doesn't have to hear my hotel debates anymore. Since we're staying in 5 different hotels throughout the trip, there were quite a few of them.
I'm most excited for our hotels in Doolin, near the Cliffs of Moher, and Galway. In Doolin, The Aran View Hotel is right along the ocean cliffs and you can see the Cliffs of Moher in the distance. In Galway, The Salthill Hotel is right by the ocean and Salthill Promenade.
It's less than 3 months away!!!
- In other exciting news, my dear friend (since 5th grade!) Laura is engaged! Her and Ethan are planning on getting married next summer. I'm so excited for her! And of course I'm a bit jealous too that she gets to plan a wedding. For me, it was a stressful experience, yet lots of fun - especially in the beginning.
Here we all are last Oktoberfest -
Congrats guys!
