My greatest adventure? Falling in love with my wife. I fell in love with her on our first date. My one and only, for life.
 
Hiding from Islamic jihadists when I was 5 years old. I remember the sound of grenade launchers and gunfire and going to sleep in street clothes in case we had to flee in the middle of the night.
 
I was in the US Army, sat on the outskirts while artillery shelled the city, after that we had to go house to house clearing weapons caches and enemy fighters. It was simultaneously the best and worst experience of my life. I lost some very good friends but I also learned a lot about myself and stared down death.

A very good book on that battle is House to House by SSG David Bellavia.
 
I would say it is a tie - my junior year abroad in Madrid, Spain while in college 1972-1973 and becoming Catholic in 2008.
 
Mine would be moving to Wyoming sight unseen. I’d been married for 6 months, was pregnant and knew I wanted to get out of Ohio. We used to breed guinea pigs and in our move…with Uhaul attached to an old beat up pickup truck, we left with three and arrived with 8!

The day we arrived in Casper Wyoming we discovered there was a geology convention going on and no room at the inns, so to speak. We camped out in the back yard of one of my husbands friends. The next morning, we went fishing…my husband had been away from Wyoming for a whole year and he just had to go fishing! I’m pregnant and we head up to his favorite mountain stream at an elevation of about 7,000 ft. And I got so light headed I spent our fishing time laying down to keep from passing out! I was not adapted to high altitudes!

All in all, it was great fun and I don’t regret a minute of the whole drive, fishing and playing with newborn guinea pigs. ❤️❤️❤️
 
There are many different kinds of adventures, so I’m going to be greedy and have three:
  1. The Gulf War.
  2. Before we were both settled down, my best buddy from the army and I traveled around all 48 contiguous states then Alaska via a couple thousand miles of western Canada.
  3. Marriage and 10 kids. Running our family business and trying to live off our own land.

That sounds like a remarkable story should you ever wish to share it with us.

British, eh? I thought that hat looked Tyrolean. Shows what I know about European hats.

I love GPs and had a wee family of them once. I can totally see this happening.

My greatest adventure was either the time I decided to go to Austria and Germany on a whim by myself and drive out into the countryside of Germany on the Autobahn in a cheesy little rental car when I could barely drive and had never been to continental Europe before and didn’t speak a lick of German, to try to find some metal festival I didn’t have a ticket for that my friend was playing at, or else it was when I was trying to get out of DC on 9/11.
