Welcome to Two SOB's, our personal blog where we document our travels, our adventures and other random moments.
Thanks for visiting!
October 14, 2008For those of you that have visited us in the past, you know we have affectionately named our master bathroom the "poop" bathroom. Not because this is what you do in the bathroom, but because the color of the wall (and it might inspire you to poop). While I was…
October 3, 2008For now the bathroom is finished! The towel racks are installed and the shower curtain hung. Now we just have to decide if we will paint or replace the vanity, replace the counter, and which floor to go with. But for now, it's operational once again.- October 1, 2008I'm happy to report that progress has been made on the bathroom project. The walls have been painted "Banana Cream" yellow and the light fixture has been hung. Although yellow is Sean's favorite color, we did not choose this color because of him. However, we did ask him which shade…
- September 28, 2008The bathroom project has begun!! After debating if we really wanted to start this project this weekend or not, we decided to go for it. The project slowed down when we removed the existing lighting fixture to find instead of just the electric box, but a 3"x7" gap in the…
September 22, 2008Yes, I know it's been awhile since we've last posted, but life has been pretty uneventful. This past weekend however, my sister and family were in Milwaukee for my Grandma's 90th birthday party.Saturday we had an exciting afternoon going to the Elegant Farmer to pick some apples . . .including…
August 31, 2008Hey everyone, just thought I would post some pictures from our annual trek to Oak Creek's Lion's Fest. As usual we enjoyed sweet corn, beer, brats, and cheese curds (the first ones we ordered actually tasted like cheese turds). Our fun began by running into the weenies that run around…- August 24, 2008Today we left Alaska and made it safely back to Milwaukee. We had a great time and really enjoyed seeing the sights. I think our trip can be summed up with the phrase "planes, trains, and automobiles". We certainly saw a lot of Alaska by all three modes of transportation.On…
August 23, 2008Today was another relaxing day with nothing on the agenda other than to catch the train at 4:45p.m. After all the excitement from earlier in the week, it was a little difficult for me to just sit back and relax. Upon leaving the lodge we headed into the small town…
August 22, 2008Thank goodness we took the flight to Mt McKinley yesterday! Had we not seen it yesterday, I wouldn't have believed that there was a mountain anywhere in the vicinity of our hotel. We had a very grey, dreary day today, as it rained most of the morning. We used our…
August 21, 2008This morning we headed to the Mt. McKinley Princess Lodge via train. The train ride was about 3 hours long and not overly impressive. Shockingly, only two pictures were taken on the ride. Once we arrived to Talkeetna, we decided to take the 1 hour ride to the lodge instead…
August 20, 2008The weather was good today and our boat tour of the Kenai Fjords Peninsula and glaciers was a go! Along the way we saw Bald Eagles, Puffins, a Humpback Whale, and Sea Otters. Perhaps the most exciting thing however, was the Aialik Glacier. The glacier gave us the title of…
August 19, 2008Yesterday, August 18th, was full of pleasant surprises. Besides knowing where we were spending the night in Seward, we didn't have any other concrete plans. We left Anchorage in the morning and headed south to Seward. In Anchorage, we were somewhat unimpressed with the scenery, but the drive to Seward…
