It was a bit chilly last night! The entire team spent the morning with their sleeping bags completely over their heads. Coach was the first to brave the cold and get breakfast going. After about five minutes the water was boiling and hot coffee was being pressed. Things started to look a bit brighter. After…

Day 5 – Rocky Mountain High 2017: Great Coffee, Independence Pass & Lincoln Gulch
Good morning all! We have emerged from the wilderness and Verizon has graced us with LTE. Lots to catch you up on! Let’s you and us pretend its last Wednesday, alright, good! This morning we arose much later than anticipated. The adjoining rooms did wonders for all the sleeping beauties and dudes of TeamHovis. Just…
Day 4 – Rocky Mountain High 2017 – Sleep for Suckas, BV, & That is also good…
Interrogative: What sound immediately jerks a Coach out of bed and knocks off all sleepiness? Or perhaps, What sounds like that disgusting cat that lived outside your first apartment after eating several birds? Answer: Retching. Unbridled Retching. Impressive in a medical way. Yes, at 3:00 AM, Gman got hit with the I-swallowed-fifty-gallons-of-pool-water-and-ate-too-many-processed-weenies case of the…
Day 3 – Rocky Mountain High 2017: Whit’s End, Bathrooms, & A Great Wolf
This post brought to you by Lady Coach. Apparently, late nights and bedding down in a cozy-closet doesn’t promote sleeping in: Poppy crawled into bed with the coaches around 5:30 AM. All righty then! Gman managed to keep knocking out the Zs until almost 8:00, though, even after rolling off the bed in a tangle…
Day 2 – Rocky Mountain High 2017: Deep Canyon, Big Steak
Due to some clever climate control, all parties slept in until almost 8am. Way to go Lady Coach! The cold a/c makes them want to stay under the covers. To get the day started off right Coach took E, Gman, and Poppy down to the lobby for a breakfast of waffles, eggs, and cereal. Coach…
Day 1 – Rocky Mountain High 2017: Doe Eyes & Open Skies
#TeamHovis is pumped up for our annual adventure! This year’s destination, the beautiful White River National Forest in Colorado. Lots of adventures await us on the road trip to Colorado. We made it out of home base right on time at 9am. First stop a Granddad meet and greet. With Granddad and Nana spending all…
Northern Arizona: Grand Canyon, Flagstaff, & Sedona – Gman & Coach
October 27th, 2016 It has been too long since Gman and I had a father and son adventure. So we cashed in some travel points and headed west. We took a late flight out of Houston Hobby direct to Phoenix. Our flight was delayed so by the time we picked up our rental car it…
Day 12 & 13- No Hurry 2016: Nazis, Traffic, Scandia, and Home
July 26th, 2016 The trip is quickly winding down and TeamHovis is getting a bit spent on energy. The whole team slept in until late but the Coaching Staff was awoken in the middle of the night to a 50 person fight breaking out on the street below. It was a like a train wreck…
Day 11 – No Hurry 2016: Volcanoes & Waterfalls
June 25th, 2016 Sorry to those of you following us closely, we have been posting a day late. Too much fun! It was another stellar day in California. As we’re getting up and ready for the day E went out on the front porch and sat by herself for awhile to enjoy the morning. In…
Day 10 – No Hurry 2016: Playground, Kissing, and Dorie
June 24th, 2016 TeamHovis set out to have the slowest day on record. Mission accomplished. The kiddos slept in and we started the day off with breakfast at the hotel. Great accommodations at the Best Western Plus TreeHouse. Great little road side family hotel with wonderful views of Mt Shasta. Through some fortuitous timing, we…
Day 9 – No Hurry 2016: No Pic Thursday
June 23rd, 2016 The Coaching Staff failed to take a single good picture today. Sorry! Who loves getting up at 4:00 in the morning and making sure Lady Coach sees the joy(?) in it as well? Oh, Poppy… Getting up before the sun does not a good vacation day make. But it’ll turn itself around!…
Day 8 – No Hurry 2016: Grumpies and Smores
June 22nd, 2016 Well TeamHovis hit our low today. The day started off promising with Lady Coach getting a chance to sleep in. After that it was 5 hours of more or less continual grumpiness for all team members – maybe or maybe not related to the fact that Coach allowed the kiddos to watch…
