two men go to Alaska today

today, nic and his dad launch for Alaska on their motorcycles. we've all been preparing for this day for quite a while. if you'd like to follow their adventures here are the links to their blogs, nic kline and dad kline.

last night we celebrated nic's last night (for a while at least) in kansas by enjoying two of our favorite things, bloomin' onion and coca-cola, needless to say we didn't feel too great afterwards. but as always, we enjoyed being together.

and he made some final preparation decisions.

We will miss you while you're gone.

happy 29th birthday, love.

for nic's birthday a handful of people "pitched" in and got him a tent. this particular tent is to enable him to cuddle with his bike while traveling to alaska next summer. for the record, i (along with a few other family members) will be flying to AK next summer and meeting the motorcycle travelers (nic and his dad) at their final destination (which we haven't determined yet). once we arrive, we will all tour the state together and then the boys will continue onward home. i think those are the only details we've put together so far. lots of planning yet to do.

assembly required.



our collection of motorcycle gear continues to grow as does our anticipation for the trip.
