As a couple who has been together almost 20 years, we are often looking for things to do together. We are a classic opposites attract story. Daniel is an outdoors type who likes to participate in different recreational sporting activities. Heather prefers to sit inside or on a beach and read a book. Over the years, together we have tried beach vacations, golf lessons, a day of biking on RAGBRAI, and many other activities. Ultimately, we found that neither partner was fully satisfied with any of the chosen activities. Other than our three wonderful, but loud boys, we felt that we needed an activity for just the two of us. We believe that continuing to build our relationship, beyond our joint duties as parents, is important to the strength of our marriage. At some point, it clicked that many of our vacations have ended up centered around good beer and good food, so we decided to put this blog together as a way to record our experiences for our selves, and to share them with you. The need for additional material also gives us an excuse to venture out and find new experiences.
