The Insta-Home Challenge: Austin

January 24, 2013

Shoot… I’m as happy as a gopher in soft dirt to be in Austin. It’s been in the 70’s and 80’s in central Texas, and with the fresh air, congenial people, weird and artsy vibe and wide open spaces, we feel like we’ve hit a slice o’ heaven. After a tough, sick, chilly 3 months […]

Count those holiday blessings

December 31, 2012

Forgive us, friends. We’ve been so quiet on 3 For The Road. Actually, I know I must forgive me. I’m hard on myself; the hyper-critical, perfectionist part of me rues the day we thought to start a travel/theater/parenting blog while moving every month with a toddler and a cat, while being full-time parents.

Detour: Montego Bay, Jamaica

December 4, 2012

Stop the (Word)presses! For the first time, the three of us went on vacation, as a family. Wait, you say. Aren’t you on vacation all the time? Weren’t you just pigging out in New Orleans and clubbing in Miami? Well… yes! And no. Our daily life is touring, but it’s still “work.” Mike still has […]

Flying high at Albuquerque’s Balloon Fiesta

November 20, 2012

A guest blog post by Selena MoshellAngela’s note: Our friend on tour Selena Moshell is a true adventurer. Call it wanderlust, call it intrepid-ness, call it pluck, call it what you want — but wherever the Lion King takes us, she is grabbing the bull by its horns (or in this case, the balloon by […]

Family dinner at home in Albuquerque

October 18, 2012

On this particular evening, Ang Top Chef’ed her way through our freezer and fridge and made a simple, delicious dinner of […]

The Insta-Home Challenge: Albuquerque

October 12, 2012

We Hollicks deem ourselves fairly well-traveled, but this is the first time either of us have stepped foot in New Mexico. And our feet landed in a Pueblo-style townhome in Old Town, Albuquerque — complete with five adults, one tween, one toddler, one cat and a couple of hamsters! Full House has nothing on us. […]
