With the promise of a beautiful spring day in the forecast, I found it necessary to get outside and hike or “do something.” I wanted to venture a little further from home than we normally do on a regular basis and turn it into a bit of a day drive. So Aaron and I set […]
You hear us talk about the “Gift of Adventure” a lot around here at Lagom and for Sam’s last birthday (yeah I’m a little late in blogging about it) we took her on a “food adventure.” Sam is a foodie and so is her friend Reese, so they are always more than willing to drive […]
Hiking in Bee Tree Park in South St. Louis, Missouri. Afterwards we ate at a kickass smoke shake, Cafe Telegraph, featuring BBQ, brick oven pizza, and many more made from scrath items.
As I have mentioned before, we usually like to squeeze in as much as we can on our vacations. On my summer trip, I wanted to take Hunter to San Francisco for a few reasons. The first being that it is the closest major coastal city to Yosemite, it was also opportunity for us to […]

Aaron and I set out this past weekend with the good intentions of checking out the Japanese Festival at the Botanical Gardens with the backup plan being the Greek Festival. We were going to head out early and then I wanted to go a little further north and check out a trail from the book […]
Sometimes in the middle of all the chaos and kids you need an adult weekend getaway. Last summer that is exactly what Aaron and I needed. We realized we had an available weekend and I began to research our best opportunities like I always do. So on the spur of the moment Thursday evening, we […]
