    D.C. & Back Again

    Author: Casey | Posted in: Travel


    Me on the steps of the Supreme Court Building

    Well, we made it! D.C. was excellent in every way! We got to see just about everything we wanted to see, and had time left over to do some shopping!! I would highly recommend visiting D.C. to anyone who hasn’t been before. It was pretty inexpensive (considering all the museums & monuments are free) and you can get around town on the metro for pretty cheap.

    My favorite site would have to have been the White House. I love getting to see it up close like that. The entire capital was pretty heavily guarded. We saw policemen everywhere, and even saw a few police snipers!! It was a little surprising, but definitely made us feel more safe. Overall, it was a great trip!

    D.C. or Bust!

    Author: Casey | Posted in: Travel

    My wife and I are going to Washington, D.C. this weekend. I’m so excited! I’ve only been once, and it was for a very short time. So, hopefully I will get my fill of historical facts and information!

    We haven’t been on a vacation together since our Honeymoon, (almost 3 years ago!) so I’m excited about us getting to travel together. We fly out on Friday morning and come back on Monday evening, so we should have a good amount of time to see everything we want. I’m super excited and I’ll let y’all know how it turns out!! See ya around…

    Chicago Trip Revisited

    Author: Casey | Posted in: Travel

    Well, my wife had a great time! She said that they went to the Art museum to see some paintings by Seurat. He’s famous for a painting called “La Grande Jatte.”

    They also went to a new place in Chicago called Millenium Park. It’s a cool place that has weird, futuristic sculptures everywhere. This one is called “The Bean.”

    They also went to the Shakespeare Theatre and saw “The Merry Wives of Windsor.” She couldn’t stop talking about how awesome that was!

    They had a great time, but I’m glad she’s back!

    Off to Chicago

    Author: Casey | Posted in: Travel

    Well, my wife left for Chicago early this morning. She and her dad are going up there to have a fun weekend. They got tickets for a Shakespeare play, and she was really excited about that!

    I’m not sure what I’m going to do with myself this weekend, now that she’s away. I think I’m going to play golf with a co-worker tomorrow morning, and I will definitely watch the Hogs vs. Texas game tomorrow night. Other than that, I’ll probably just relax!


    I just got a call from her, and they had just eaten at Uno’s. I’m so jealous!! I’ve only been to Chicago once, and I ate at Uno’s. They have some of the best pizza I’ve ever tasted!

    Harding Revisited

    Author: Casey | Posted in: Home Life & Family

    Yesterday I had the day off, so I went to Harding with my wife. She had a couple classes to go to, and I just hung around campus. It was great getting to see the ole’ Alma Mater again, but it was also weird seeing unfamilar faces walking around campus just like I used to.

    I also got to go visit my old barber, Uncle Bob. For the past year I’ve tried to find a barber close to us that is as good as he is, but they just don’t exist!! Just as in any other barber shop, we talked politics, women, & just life in general. It was great!

    All in all, it was a great day off, but now I’m looking forward to this weekend, and going to the cabin!! Woo hoo!!
