Secret Vacation 2015

We used to feel comfortable talking about where we were when we went on vacation, but that didn’t always turn out so well for us, so now we go on Secret Vacations instead.

This secret vacation features lots and lots of snow, reading books by the fireplace, and convincing ourselves that we can eat more junk food, because our bodies need the calories to keep warm. If you listen to today’s abbreviated Radio Free Burrito, you can hear what I think the best part of this Secret Vacation is.

Now, please enjoy two pictures that capture our long walk today: Anne, with her delightful Kermit the Frog hat thing, and me, trying to decide if having a nearly-frozen beard is the best thing, or the best thing ever.

Kermit loves snow There's ice in my beard

      1. Right about now my mom would look up from her book and say, “fools never differ.” 😉

  7. LOL love the pictures. You two need this vacation. Enjoy and recharge. Thanks for popping in the occasional tweet and blog post eventhough you’re suppossed to be relaxing.;-)
    Now have fun, hide the phone. Hug your main squeeze like its the last and bury your frozen beard in her hair. LOL jk.

  9. I can almost imagine that this is how you will look once your hair start turning gray.

  13. With the frozen beard, you know now what it will look like in about 15-20 years when you start going gray! I’m already there; didn’t need the snow/frozen air to know. Sigh!

  15. Sucks that you need to keep it all a secret but better that than, well, you know.

    I think you need to pack on some snow on that beard. Go for the full Mt. Everest look…just don’t forget the “OMG what am I doing three miles up?!” look though… 🙂

  16. Wow Anne looks really good in a bikini! Imagine what people who don’t enjoy some of the anonymity you have feel like with cameras stuck in their face all the time. You described how you felt very well. I just assumed most celebrities didn’t mind. That it went with the territory. I didn’t realize.

  17. Is that a young “Prepper” Scott Kelley lol jk jk I know it’s zach galifianakislol

  18. So based on the crazy weather lately, you probably could have just stayed home and those pics are from your backyard LOL.

    And ice beards ROCK. Every winter runner hopes to get a selfie with an ice beard as awesome as you’re sporting.

  24. Oh my, but that does look cold. Although here in Murrieta we had our first snowfall in 10 years. We got about an eighth of an inch. Break out the tobogans boys!!!

    1. I am in Murrieta and we got 2+ inches. We had several snow men on our street. The cat was not happy

  25. You can always make them unsecret after your vacation is over with. It’s more important to enjoy the moment and who you are with.

  26. Oh great, thanks, Mr Wheaton. You’ve just brought back all my childhood memories of living on a farm in rural Iowa a mile from the nearest human being and going on a long trek across a solid white corn field where mine are the only footprints to see, with my snow pants, boots, long underwear, fuzzy hood, and sled, after a 20-inch blizzard, and pretending that I’m a great polar explorer, like Polar Explorer Eric Larson (that’s his full legal name btw), crossing the frozen wastes of Antarctica in search of the bottom of the world. I hope you’re happy.

    Seriously, I hope you’re happy, like actually…

    I also remember taking my dad’s old collapsible army shovel and digging tunnels behind the tractor shed, where the wind around the treeline always made the snow drift more than 10 feet thick. In retrospect, it’s amazing I never died in a snow tunnel collapse. That would have really put a damper on these wonderful memories.

  30. Personally I feel you’re bat shit crazy for going anywhere there is snow and cold weather. No way dude. I don’t do cold weather! But I do love Anne’s hat, kudos on the Kermit hat. I need it for my nephew who I call Kermie.

  33. Ooooh…eating more calories because it’s so cold! This seems like a wise way to pass the long, Idaho winter. Enjoy your vacation, hope you stay nice and cozy!

  37. Love the Kermit Hat.
    Don’t think I ever noticed what beautiful blue eyes your wife has.
    Frozen beard — looks kinda cool. Though, if you weren’t outside, and hadn’t said frozen, one might get the wrong idea about what’s in the beard… (I hang out on Tumblr too much — ) 🙂
    I think you need a few days in the on the way back home, to thaw out.

    Enjoy!

  38. It is just my opinion, after seeing celebrities and especially their children bullied by fans and paparazzi, that being a celebrity of any flavor should be considered a job. When you are not at work, no one should bother you about it. No TMZ at the gym or airports or anywhere. You are ‘off the clock’ and should be left alone.

  40. “Featuring lots and lots of snow”
    So, a horrible vacation? I still maintain there is nothing positive about winter, yet plenty negative. It’s nothing but cold,dark and wet.

  41. I’m also entirely amused, from the previous vacation photos, that a quick search shows the only photos of you guys from that trip being….the ones you posted. VICTORY!

  43. Yep it’s the best thing ever. Also, some of these comments are so funny! Thanks for the giggles! 🙂

  46. You look like Shia L. In that photo, heh.

    Both are really great photos, Anne looking right into the lens, you not. Thanks for sharing the feeling of “vacation”.

  47. DEAR WIL AND ANNE, AM GLAD YOU ARE ON A SECRET VACATION. AM GLAD YOU ARE ON A VACATION PERIOD. YOU LOOK FROZEN GUYS, BUT IF THAT MAKES YOU HAPPY THEN IT MAKES ME HAPPY. FROM EVERYTHING YOU SEND ME IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE REALLY, REALLY BUSY SO NEED A SECRET VACATION, FROZEN OR OTHERWISE. K

  48. I’m pleased to note that, unlike various idiot terrorists around the world lately, you remembered to scrub the EXIF data before you posted these. You may keep your geek card 🙂

  50. I never thought I would want to be famous celebrity but if it would make people want to look at my vacation pictures and then willingly talk about them, then it might be worth it. I am officially jealous.
