Last weekend was such a fun-filled time visiting Chicago. We were there celebrating a good friend’s 30th birthday. We covered a lot of ground in a short amount of time, and made a lot of great memories. Dustin was already in Chicago for work, so I flew in with two others on Friday, and we arrived around lunch time. We quickly took the train to the Hotel Palomar downtown, where we had all Continue Reading
Fits on the Road: Exploring Berlin Germany: Part 3
Well, here I am, sharing memories from our final day of touring Berlin. (You can read parts 1 and 2 here and here) Part 3 is packed full of museums! We were up early to get started, stopping quick for a frothy latte along the way, at a place called Die Deponie Nr. 3 Berlin has a cluster of museums close together on what is referred to as "Museum Island." There are more museums on there than Continue Reading
Fits on the Road: Exploring Berlin, Germany: Part 2
We started our second day of exploring in Berlin with full-body massages at the ONO Spa within our hotel, the Mandala Hotel. They felt so great on our sore muscles, and when they were done, we were all set for more exploring. We started the day in such a decadent and peaceful way with massages. It was a sharp contrast to what we did next. I understand that the following tour has nothing to do Continue Reading
Fits on the Road: Exploring Berlin, Germany Part 1
By Jess in MinneapolisThe primary reason we were in Berlin last week was of course the Berlin Marathon. But post-race, we had a solid three days to explore this interesting city.Monday morning, we were up early to walk over to the Reichstag building. If you recall, this building was close to the staging area before the marathon, so we had already taken a few pictures in front of it on race Continue Reading
Fits on the Road: Another Cabin Weekend!
By Jess in MinneapolisI'm back from another long weekend at the cabin. These Fits on the Road At The Cabin posts are all pretty similar, I apologize. But this trip was different for a special reason: this time, we were joined by Dustin's mom and stepdad, as well as his brother, wife, and two nephews. His brother has been living in Tokyo, Japan for nearly fifteen years. He met his wife there, Continue Reading
Fits on the Road: Up North
By Jess in MinneapolisYesterday, I shared a post about Fits on the Road in Hayward, Wisconsin. That post focused on things to do in Hayward, but there were plenty of fits to be found at the cabin itself.Like previous years, there was some stand-up paddleboarding, though not as much as normal. It was very windy up there this weekend, so it wasn't quite as appealing as normal. However, we still Continue Reading
Fits on the Road: Hayward, Wisconsin
I'm back after a very extended weekend at the cabin. We arrived late Wednesday night, and then my sister and her husband and kids met us up there on Thursday afternoon. Four full nights of cabin life makes it difficult to come back to reality...especially when you have a relaxation station like this one at the cabin! There was plenty of relaxing, but honestly, we kept things pretty "fit" up Continue Reading
