Sometimes a Meister vacation is so full of stuff that you wake up on Saturday and go “wow, it’s only Saturday”. I staggered out of bed a little after 8:00 feeling exactly that after a day full of Six Flags fun. The sun was shining through the crack in the curtains in our hotel room, …

Summer 2021: Six Flags St. Louis
Sometimes these blog posts about multi-day trips can be intimidating to write. Either I have to break it up into a multiple-part blog post to cover each day in detail, or I feel like I stiff the reader on details. I’ve found that indecision leads me to write absolutely nothing about the event, and something …
San Diego Diary: July 16
This will be the final live installment of my trip to San Diego. I’m writing this one from back home in Norman, where I can reflect and say that was one of the funnest trips I’ve ever been on. Having never been to San Diego, or California in general, every day was pure exploration for …
San Diego Diary: July 15
As I start this post, I am sitting in bed a little before noon, with just an hour to go in my workday. We leave San Diego in a few hours, which will be a bittersweet finish to what has been quite a trip! The last couple of days I have been able to see …
San Diego Diary: July 13
Today I’ll try to catch this running diary back up in advance of the last installment on either Thursday or Friday. I’ve enjoyed my time in San Diego, and even though I wish I didn’t have to work 7:00 – 3:00 most days and feel as though there’s still a ton I haven’t seen, we’ve …
San Diego Diary: July 12
Happy Monday! Chris and Chanelle are now happily married, and notwithstanding one snafu with their travel plans will be honeymooning all week. It was a wonderful weekend for everyone. I’m glad I got to be part of it, and I’ll try to summarize it pretty briefly. I finished my work shift at the pool Friday …
San Diego Diary: July 9
We’ll pick this one up where I left off yesterday, in awe of the insane hotel complex we’re staying at. Elizabeth left in the afternoon to go to a bridal shower/bridesmaids tea sort of thing, so I was left at the hotel on my own until Pam and Winston arrived. Pam texted that they were …
San Diego Diary: July 8
I have the unique opportunity to write a blog of a longer vacation as it happens! Elizabeth’s cousin Chris is getting married to his longtime fiancee Chanelle in San Diego this weekend. Elizabeth booked us flights to get out here today and stay all the way through Thursday the 15th. With my Pathways internship at …
Hot Springs National Park: Day 2
The first thing that I noticed was the stillness. Coming off of a night where our tent had been buffeted by periodic wind gusts that kept me up until very late, the relative calm was jarring. The next thing I noticed was that light was filtering into our tent, which meant it was officially Saturday. …
Summer Bucket List
This summer has gotten off to a bit of a slow start. Sure, there was an epic graduation weekend party: And sure, Elizabeth went to a bachelorette party in New Orleans (but doesn’t want to guest blog about it, lame). And sure, we did bag a few tornadoes in late May while everyone else in …
