OBH7 Announcement

When My Morning Jacket announced One Big Holiday 2025 in Miramar Beach, FL, I knew right away that Nicole and I had to go. We’ve been to One Big Holiday before, so we already know just how incredible the experience is. There’s nothing quite like it—amazing music, the beach, and the energy of being surrounded by fellow fans who are just as passionate as we are.

Nicole and I talked about it as soon as the news dropped, and it was an easy decision. We’ve made some of our best memories at One Big Holiday, and there’s no doubt that 2025 is going to be just as fun, if not better. The vibe, the setting, the music—it all comes together in a way that makes it feel like a dream. We’re already counting down the days, imagining ourselves back in that atmosphere, soaking it all in.

This trip is going to be another amazing chapter in our shared love for music and adventure. We know what to expect, but that just makes it all the more exciting. We can’t wait to get down to Miramar Beach, enjoy some great music, and make new memories together.

Blessing of the Combines

I decided to take my Mustang to the Blessing of the Combines in Snow Hill, MD. It’s one of those unique small-town events that bring together the community, and I thought it would be fun to check out the car show while I was there. However, as with most plans, things didn’t go exactly as expected.

I got a late start and, as I rolled into Snow Hill, I found myself stuck behind the combine parade. These massive machines were slowly making their way down the main street, and there was nothing to do but enjoy the view and soak in the atmosphere. It was actually kind of cool to see the combines up close, but I couldn’t help but feel a little anxious about getting to the car show.

After what felt like forever, I finally found a spot in the show. I parked, got out, and started wandering around, taking in the other cars on display. Not long after, I ran into my mom and dad, who had also come to enjoy the day. We spent some time wandering around together, checking out the cars and the various vendors set up along the street. It was nice to catch up and share the experience with them.

Eventually, the heat and the crowds got to us, and we decided to cool off at Oaked, a restaurant nearby. We grabbed a table, ordered some lunch, and enjoyed a few drinks, relaxing and enjoying the air conditioning. It was a nice break from the hustle and bustle outside.

After lunch, we parted ways—mom and dad headed off to explore more of the festival, while I decided it was time to head home. As I drove back, I couldn’t help but reflect on what a fun day it had been, even with the delays and the unexpected turns. It’s days like this that make owning the Mustang even more enjoyable—getting to be part of different events, running into family, and just enjoying the ride.
