Kristin & Brian Grubb

We are 2 late twenty-somethings (Kristin & Brian) whose goal is to 'carpe diem'! We 'loosely' plan to enjoy the journey and all the adventures this life has in store for us!

While we have several small trips planned, they lead up to a European adventure in 2012.

Our first big adventure pertains to Brian's job transfer to Palo Alto, CA! Brian is a Regional Employment Coordinator for veterans searching for employment opportunities within the VA system. With the move, Kristin is transitioning out of her position at St. Vincent de Paul, Louisville, as the Assistant Director of Programs. We are traveling cross country to California with our Dodge Dakota and all belongings inside!

We have entertained ourselves pretty well, no boredom or car/cabin fever! The only time we've gotten on each others nerves was at our Starbucks pit stop, this morning. Brian cranked out his very best hillbilly "I'd like a venni Americani Grande, please' impression. This was pretty embarrassing but he made up for it with a brief, 'I met my wife at Starbucks' conversation that the barista seemed to thoroughly enjoy. HA! Caffeination in tow, we pulled out a few tricks from our normal road trip bag for entertainment... such as 'meowing' a couple songs (Adam Lambert, is such an easy target) and personifying the cats (who are staying with my folks until ... read more

An adventure already! After crossing into Indiana the heavy wind gusts have caused us to take a 3 hour detour & delay. With the start time crunch & route uncertainty, due to winter weather advisories across the country, we were able to only get an oil change, yesterday. No time for the alignment, rotation & balancing. This brings us to Evansville's Best One Tire & the lovely Grand Traverse Pie Company, while we wait. The gentleman softly announces 'The Duuude, your meal with ready', as soothing and sultry as Marvin Gaye. Beyond the delicious soup and specialty sandwich, I must admit, the warm slices of pie and smooth coffee is quite a beyond worthy substitute for Louisville's Homemade Ice Cream & Pie Kitchen. Amid the cozy fireplace, we talk of adventure and Brian peruses the '1,000 ... read more
