Keystone – Skiing Professional

I love snow. Hold up…let me rephrase. I love visiting places where it snows. I’m not sure if I could handle snow all winter long, but for a week or two at a time, I’m game. I was excited about this trip and not just for the usual snowball fights and hot chocolate. On this…

The Big Apple & The Garden State

First Flight: The Beginning of My Adventures

My name is Kai Venture, and I have a really big secret. Please don’t tell my parents. They would probably freak out. Can you keep my secret? Okay, here goes: I have a time machine! I know it sounds crazy, but it all started years ago when I was just a baby. One day, Ma…

Kaua’i – More than the beach life

Aloha! I’m sorry. I couldn’t resist. This trip was to Kaua‘i, known as the Garden Isle of Hawaii. After spending a week here, I totally get the name. I was looking forward to this trip. Not just because I love the beach and water but because I was headed to my namesake. In Hawaiian, my…

Eating our way through Charleston

This trip was definitely not for me. Pa had been wanting to come to Charleston for a long time. Yes, there is history, beautiful plantations, and just a lot to see. But that is not why Charleston was high on Pa’s bucket list. With centuries of Lowcountry recipes being passed from family to family, there…

Swiss fun with a hint of Liechtenstein

The Arrival! What a start to our trip. The landing into the London airport was rough, and I got a bit sick. That had Ma and Pa distracted. We had a longer layover, so we were not really in any rush to get off the plane. I did what I needed to do, and we…

A night in Tirano

Tirano is a small town in Northern Italy right on the border of Switzerland. The river Adda runs right through the middle of town. Triano may be a small town, but it was still in Italy and when in Italy, one must consume pizza and gelato. Because it was too early to get into our…

Austin and the North Pole Flyer

Oh man! I was ready for this trip. My best friend Landon and I were headed Austin to see Santa Clause on a train. Does it get any better than this? Oh, it does! We headed to Landon’s house to meet up. Landon’s dad was driving, and so we had to load our stuff into…

Lakehouse fun

Road trip time. We loaded up the car with food and floaties and headed to a lake house in East Texas with some of Pa’s friends. This was going to be an awesome weekend of swimming, jet skiing, and just good fun with friends. It started with me getting to know the “good” Liam. As…
