Okay, clearly this isn’t a 1961 Ferrari, 250 GT California. “It is his fault he didn’t lock the garage.” My father spent three years restoring this car. But I was looking forward to the plans we had made, and a I knew my mountains would be waiting for me when I got home. The weekend would have been perfect for an alpine adventure as well.

It was bittersweet, too, as my mountains had just gotten a fresh blanket of new snow. And though we had permission for our adventure, it still felt nice to sneak away from real life for a couple of days and get on the road. Tempe, Arizona.įirst and foremost, “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” is a road trip. Opening Day – Chicago Cubs versus Los Angeles Angels. The crown jewel of the Midwest, and home to my beloved Northsiders…The Chicago Cubs.īut I live in California, so why Ferris Bueller? Because our latest Micro-Adventure took us deep into the desert to an oasis that offered the best Ferris had to give on his day off in Chicago. A picturesque metropolis nestled against the mighty Lake Michigan. It is one of the most beautiful cities in all the world. I consider myself one of the boys of summer, for sure, but it all begins in spring. The weather is amazing again, the flowers are beginning to bloom and baseball dusts off the cobwebs of winter and stretches the muscles in preparation for the long season ahead. And though summer is filled with sun and adventure, it’s spring that most gets me feeling wonderful.

It kicks off the alpine season for climbing in the mountains. Winter brings along the holidays, and a chance to spend time with loved ones to celebrate. Fall brings us apple harvests, perfect surf down at the beach, amazing weather. I’m a fan of all seasons for different reasons. And then there’s Chicago.Īnd there you have it. He’s funny and talented, has doting parents, a beautiful girlfriend and a loyal best friend. Today’s journal is going to have a decidedly Ferris Bueller influence to it.
