Happy Nike New Year!

Happy New Year, Folks! I know it’s trite to claim that last year was the best one yet… but last year was the best one yet. I got freakin’ engaged, traveled all over the US, and picked up a few great kicks along the way. Thanks for tagging along with me through fortheloveofnike. Y’all rock.…

Merry Christmas, you big person, you!

When I was a kid, I thought growing up was the worst thing that could happen. I dreaded becoming an adult. Little did I know that being a “big person” is actually awesome. You can eat all the candy you want and buy yourself Christmas presents (all year ’round). A pair of Sweet Classic Highs…

the old masters of tomorrow

The Holiday Season is always better with a visit to an art museum, especially when showing the ‘rents around Pittsburgh for the first time.

a trip to Syracuse

I just got back from a quick trip tp Syracuse, New York. Not too much to report. It’s a small-feeling town surrounded by a good bit of nature. A few fall leaves were still hanging around, but for the most part, winter has already taken its first breath. I’ve been scouring the internet trying to…

Is this what purple mountain majesty means?

Glacier National Park is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been in my life. It’s made up of around a million gorgeous acres spanning the upper portion of Montana all the way up to Canada. Glacial movements a really long time ago created the natural wonders of the area. If you know me,…

road trip essentials

I would post Montana pictures everyday if I could. Here are a few more snap shots from my trip. I thought I’d share a few of the travel hacks I’ve picked up over the years. The idea is to pack as light and smart as possible. Keep it simple and only bring along necessary items.…

stepping back in time

Tinsley House in Bozeman, MT is over 100 years old, and life goes on about as if no time has passed since the day it was built. The entire structure was moved from its original location of Willow Creek so it could be near the Museum of the Rockies. A staff, dressed in the traditional…
