On Father’s Day, to the big guy I call Dada

June 16, 2013

From Angela: Here is what I think Max would say to Mike on this Father’s Day 2013. Just a mother’s interpretation, mind you, and probably one of the last times I can get away with speaking for my already very verbal kid. So I must grab it! 🙂   Hi Dada! For Father’s Day, I […]

The Insta-Home Challenge: Tulsa, OK

June 9, 2013

Life seems to be moving at light speed now.  I guess that’s what happens when you have kids — every day becomes so chock full of responsibilities, activities and moments to savor, that you have no time to be bored, and scarce time for introspection.  I can honestly say I don’t remember the last time […]

April 11, 2013

Strap on your cheese bibs, my friends — we are in chilly Wisconsin for four weeks! More specifically, The Lion King is slated to perform at the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center in Appleton, Wisconsin.  Apple-who, you ask?  And where are we living?

20 weeks pregnant: Into the 4th dimension

March 21, 2013

So, little baby lady was featured in a motion picture already — a 4D Ultrasound (or 4D Live Motion Imaging), more precisely! Here’s where you shake you head and mutter, “Technology, technology, technology…” This stuff will blow your mind. 4D is a continuous 3D scanning of the baby, so you see it move in real […]

The Insta-Home Challenge: Omaha, NE

March 18, 2013

We’ve bid adieu to the crippling, freezing temps of Detroit, and rolled into the equally bracing Omaha, Nebraska. But despite the cold, the Old Market neighborhood that we’re staying in is charming and hospitable, encouraging us to brave the elements and get out to explore. Icicles begin to melt along an Old Market awning. You […]

13 weeks pregnant at the Exxoplis

March 1, 2013

Architects of Air: Exxopolis Luminarium in Austin, TXMy 13-week fetus and I sauntered through the Architects of Air: Exxopolis Luminarium exhibit at the Long Center for the Performing Arts in Austin, Texas. The exhibit from the outside, on a gorgeous Austin morning, appeared as an elaborate child’s jumpy complex. A dragon, or a space-age caterpillar, […]

The Insta-Home Challenge: Detroit

February 19, 2013

The awesome-weather gravy train had to end sometime. Last stop, the 313! Our neighborhood of Brush Park in Detroit. Photo by Nick Cordileone. Our first year of the Lion King tour took us to many warm cities, from east to west. Last winter, Mike started solo in frigid Minneapolis, but as a family we then […]

We’re gonna have to change the name of this blog

January 12, 2013

The Hollicks are starting the new year off with a bang. Yes, yes, yes — you can believe your eyes. We are having a baby! Max is going to be a big brother and we will be chugging along as Four For the Road (plus a cat). It’s mind-boggling, and…so very exciting. Our family is […]

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. While simultaneously […]

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 […]
