We’ve enjoyed a BBQ destination or three in our days. Memphis? Check. North Carolina? Been there. Texas? Conquered. The final major BBQ town on our list? Kansas City, of course! While our trip centered on sweet, juicy meat, we also explored other key sights, including historic Union Station, the Crown Plaza (Hallmark HQ) and Boulevard…

Breaking the Rules
A recent trip to Kansas City (more about the details later) was like hitting the freedom trail for Colin. No rules! (Well, relatively little.) Check out his misadventures letting loose in the Midwest!
Some More CT Fun
Up in New England to visit family and Martha’s Vineyard, more fun was to be had with loved ones in CT. Our time was limited, but we made the most of it!
C’s Intro to the Vineyard
It took 10 1/2 months, but C made it to Martha’s Vineyard (well, for the first time on the outside)! It’s a very special place, given his parents were married there, so C was determined to make the most of it. Breakfasts at Aquinnah Restaurant and The Right Fork, pizza and chocolate in Chilmark, hitting…
Time in the OC
No rest for the weary, as we got off the plane from Connecticut and made our way east to Ocean City, MD. Colin was fortunate to take in all the sights – the beach and the Boardwalk, of course, and institutions like Sunsations and J.R.’s Ribs. Here are some highlights of quality time (and Olde…
Guttentag Deutschland!
While the boys were at play back home, Megan headed to Germany for a work meeting (tough life, I know). Before the meeting, it was great to catch up with pal and Abu Dhabian Mark – and the rest flowed from there. While the days were long, and it was a lot of work, the…
Jamaica, More Please!
We were lucky to take a vacation in May, heading over international waters to enjoy time in Jamaica. We decided to go the boutique route and rent a villa as part of a small specialty lodging company, the owners of which happen to live about 15 minutes away! Colin was a trooper throughout our travels,…
Home Away from Home
A far cry from the resorts of Abu Dhabi and Dubai, the Hampton Inn Salisbury was our home away from home while we visited Pork in the Park. It happened to be Colin’s first hotel room stay – one of many we hope! We spent only a little time in the room, but C settled…
Pork in the Park!
Though Colin’s experience with solid foods is a mere few weeks old, we needed expose him to BBQ early, since it’ll soon be a go-to food of choice. What better introduction than Pork in the Park, the largest Kansas City Barbecue Society-sanctioned (apparently this is a big deal) competition on the East Coast. While we…
