Welcome!

Welcome to Dane & Adair's Travel Blog! (a.k.a Bonnie and Snide)

Hello family and friends! As we trek across the country, Adair and I decided it would be fun to keep a log of our trip, by way of pictures, videos, and as of today, blog posts.

Right now we are in a small city called Limon, Colorado, about an hour outside of Denver, and we finally found a safe-looking spot to lay our heads...

Hope you all enjoy!

Mina: A Birth Story - Part II

My daugther, Mina, was born happy and healthy on March 10, 2017. She's a 7 lb, 3oz, 20 inch ball of wonderment with large feet. This is the story of how she got here. Part II: Thai Food and Restless Sleep I have mentioned on this blog previously that it's a big deal when you are pregnant that you don't overreact and head to the hospital too early. So, when Adair started having contractions, we knew that it could be a while, and that maybe if we were lucky, we might have a decent night's sleep. At this point, we did what all good Portlanders do when they are looking to kill some time: we got Thai food. Although Adair was harboring some mild concerns about eating spicy food mere hours away from the potential of accidental well-lit public poops in a hospital bed surrounded by kindly nurses and one lovely doctor, I was able to sway her with the reminder that she may not be able to have a solid meal for a while until this hootenanny was over and done with.  N

One Year, Somehow

Baby Girl turned one-year-old the other day.  I know all the "time flies" stuff has been tread and re-tread by parents for generations, but man, I cannot believe  how quickly that went. And somehow I have, like, three memories of the first year of her life? Even worse, one of the few memories I do have is complaining about how time was creeping by. I think the year can mostly be summed up as thus: waiting for the girl to do something new, enjoying it for a day, remarking about how I can't wait for the next milestone. Having a one-year old has so far taught me a few things. First, infants are just still really not my deal. I loved mine, and I want to have more, but the older she gets, the more I feel actually connected to as a person. I know I've said it before: I have loved her from the moment she was born, but I am learning to actually enjoy her company as she learns to do more and more cool shit. Learning to sit up, roll over, smile, laugh, all of that was

What up y'all

Hey everyone, Another week down, and it was a pretty enjoyable one. My first week of classes went well, I am noticing that it is so much easier to pay attention when the professors are saying interesting things! All but one of them is a currently-practicing lawyer, which is pretty cool. These guys really know their stuff, and their focus is much more on real-world practice. One professor in particular warrants description. My Marine Insurance professor is originally from South Africa, and has lived in New Orleans for like 35 years, sooooo he has the absolutely the strangest accent I have ever heard in my life. One moment he is in full South African mode, Matt Damon in Invictus style, and the next moment he might as well be Tennessee Williams. It's pretty amazing, I think the first class I just stared at him with my mouth open the entire time. Couple that with the fact that apparently South Africans don't know what political correctness is (he addressed this fact, but in adva
