Troy and Melanie (dot com) bio picture

Welcome to our life!

We are a growing family located in Austin, TX.  Not too long ago it was just the two of us.  Then we added our fur-baby, Bella.  And most recently we added our son, Cole.  This blog was created to keep our friends and families updated on the goings on at the Schneider household.  Given the new arrival, many of the posts will be geared towards our struggle to learn how to be good parents.  

We enjoy watching movies, traveling, photography, reading, and hanging out with friends (preferably while doing anything in this list).  You are bound to read some funny stories here as we try to keep it light hearted and you'll definitely see a pile of photos.

So if you like a post, want to share your opinion, or just want to say hi feel free to leave us a comment.  We *love* comments.

PCH road trip… day 1… San Francisco

This is not going to be the longest blog post because we are both very tired (been going since 4am CST), but we wanted to share what we did today (sorry, no photos since my laptop needs to get a few software updates so I can edit files on here… hoping tomorrow).

  • Woke at 4am CST, got ready, finished last minute packing
  • 5:15am CST left for the airport
  • 7:30am CST flight departs Austin for Los Angeles
  • 10:00am PST flight departs LA for San Francisco
  • 11:30am PST Jay picks us up from the SFO airport
  • 12:00pm PST we grab lunch at Ti Couz (a creperie in the Mission district)… awesome lunch!
  • 1:30pm PST head over to Lombard Street and take some photos
  • 2:00pm PST went to Chinatown to get some fresh fortune cookies
  • 2:20pm PST went by Crissy Field
