  1. We love to Geocache as a family. You can definitely do it after you have kids. The kids love it. It's like a treasure hunt to them. It's super easy to do. If you want to know anything about it, contact my husband. He was really into it a few years ago.

  2. When I get back from Europe I'll have to let you know any other must things from that side of the pond to add to your list! (this is Julie Chobany by the way)

  3. You guys should call it your "Bottle list" or something like that since it's a pre-baby list

  4. @Christie: Sounds awesome. We will have to hit you guys up for some good caches in AZ.

    @Julie Ann: When are you going to Europe? That will be a blast, post lots of pics on FB!

    @Suzanne: Stellar idea, I will run it by the boss lady.

    @Nate: Heh, I already suggested that idea to the wife, but it quickly got veto'd.

    Great suggestions, keep em coming!

  5. You can't veto skydiving! Jecoby and I did it on a zipline (not tandem because we're manly like that). Let's just say it brings you exhilaratingly close to God! Plus, Ash is so tiny she would float down like a fairy princess. It took me forever to land because of that (you have to land yourself if you do a zipline). However, Jecoby did not land so gracefully - he can tell you all about what a desert enema is. If you're ever going to do it, before kids is probably a good idea!

  6. I can now say for SURE you HAVE to go to Greece. May I suggest a few days in Athens, maybe some day trips....but then head to an island or two. We went to Santorini....out of this world! Spend most of your time there. It's very romantic, and there isn't really any historical landmarks or ruins to see...Santorini is just in it's self charming. You can do it relatively cheap. You can do Italy and Greece in one trip, there is a airline called Easy Jet, and you can fly in Europe for pretty cheap. I know it will be down the road from now, but if you need any tips on affordable and fun European traveling...I'm hear to help!
