Our Adventures
Intro Podcast
In this first episode, you’ll get to know Steve and Beau as they discuss the dynamics of their father/son relationship. Lee Howard joins as the moderator and asks probing questions to uncover the ties that bond Steve and Beau together, how their relationship has grown over the years, and why they’ve decided to embark on this journey to make this the greatest summer ever!
Florence
In June, the Howard family traveled to Italy to participate in the wedding of Sara Mameli and Brooks Lachowsky. They were married in a beautiful villa that overlooked the Tuscany wine country. Naturally, we had a blast and used the opportunity to explore the city of Florence as well. Enjoy this quick highlight reel of our adventures!
Rome
We wrapped up our Italy vacation in Rome by immersing ourselves in the culture and history that make up this amazing city. The best part of Rome is that most of the major attractions are within walking distance of each other, and we were able to tour the Colosseum, Pantheon, and the Vatican. The architectural achievements of the ancient Romans is mind-blowing and the ever-present sculptures and paintings were breathtaking. And of course, the food was molto bene!
Vico Equense
Following the wedding, we spent a few days relaxing on the coast near Sorrento. It was the perfect way to recover from the wedding celebration – enjoying beautiful views, playing on the beach and tasting fine wine. Warning: this video will make you want to book that Italian vacation!
Margarita Monday
On a hot summer night, few things are more refreshing than enjoying an ice-cold margarita. Steve shares the award-winning margarita recipe that he has used to win countless margarita competitions. He walks you step-by-step through the process and you may be surprised by what you learn. If you’re a margarita lover (and who isn’t?) you don’t want to miss this video! (Note: these margaritas are delicious but strong, so please consume alcohol responsibly and never drink and drive.)
Sunday Steak Night
Part of enjoying the greatest summer is cooking out on the grill, and every Sunday is steak night at the Howard house. In this episode, Steve shares tips for cooking perfect steaks on the grill. Some of the prep and grilling techniques he shares may surprise you but have been perfected over the years to produce tender, juicy and flavor-packed steaks that melt in your mouth!
Bourbon Tasting
Now that Beau is 21, it’s time to teach him how to appreciate the subtleties of world-class bourbon. Join us as we sample some of the finest bourbons from the Buffalo Trace Distillery and watch Beau’s surprisingly accurate assessments of the various bourbons in the lineup. (Note: this episode was recorded in the comfort of our home – never over-consume alcohol or drink and drive.)
Father of the Bride Speech
On June 10th, we celebrated the marriage of Kyndal Howard and Braeden Andrews. It was a magical night full of love, laughter and a few happy tears as the young couple solidifies their growing relationship. This video captures Steve’s father of the bride speech on the top 10 ways to make a marriage last a lifetime. (Note: call it nerves, but Steve accidentally skipped one of the tips and so this speech ended up being the top 9 ways to make a marriage last a lifetime 😊.)
Brother of the Bride Speech
During the rehearsal dinner, Beau led the room in toasting Kyndal and Braeden on their impending union. He shared a humorous poem that kept the atmosphere light and everyone in the room laughing. Check it out!
