June 2023

Jillian & I went on a halfway cross country road trip, from NYC to Tulsa, taking the Southern route first, then the Midwest route back. We stopped in quirky eccentric random places in the rolling hills of Virginia, then to (not in order) Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee, & of course we explored & went up the  St. Louis Arch on the way back. Jillian being born & raised NYC, I wanted her to experience a different slice of America, the roadside diners, hand-painted billboards, towns where the pace slows just enough for you to notice the details. I wanted to show her other parts of the country for the experience alone. We stayed at my buddy Jeremy’s spot in Huntsville. We also went on a shooting range, pretty fun stuff. But we were ready to hit the road & keep exploring. I got her a Rose white dress & butterfly robe at a cool antique store in downtown St. Louis on the way back. 

it was great seeing my brothert, sister, nephews, & niece! And of course the Queen- my mom. Plus the interview with Gubi right after we got back.
