Third Wheel
The girls and I wanted to rent bikes during our trip to Jekyll Island, but the logistics were a little complicated. Chloe can ride a bike with training wheels and Camille was saying she was worried about riding as she hasn’t done it much lately (and I don’t think I’ve been on a bike for
J’aime La Plage
One of my favorite things to do at the beach is to watch the sun come up over the horizon. This morning, I woke with the sun. The clouds rolled in as the sun came up, making today’s sunrise very different from yesterday’s. A little later in the morning, the girls and I drove down
Dining – Hotel Room Style
After we arrived here, I realized that our dinner choices were non-existant. Unforutunately, our room has no kitchen, no microwave. It does have a fridge and a coffeepot, however. At the little IGA, we stocked on bread, peanut butter, jelly, carrots, fruit, yogurt, milk and cereal. But what for dinner? There were no baguettes, no
Spitfire the Turtle
These crazy girls; I wonder if they have ever seen Spanish moss before? It makes for great dress up I guess. Playing with it was one of the highlights of our morning walk through the historical district of Jekyll Island. The other was a trip to the Georgia Sea Turtle Center. Last year, a month
Bad WiFi
Well, not so bad, but I can only get it in the lobby and by the pool. There don’t appear to be an outlets near the pool (that only makes sense), so with this bad battery, I can only get on for short bursts of time. So anything I need to do while online will
Hey, I Know That Place
Heck, I could have taken it. Compare the photo at the left that I took in 2004 to the one in the Washington Post article Why Did the Tourists Cross the Channel? The Baths in Virgin Gorda is a magical place. One that I’ve been to four (I think) times now and one to which
Gotta Hit the Road!
I’m fighting cabin fever. In my work mail today, I got a notice of an Air France deal that I almost snapped up. It would be less than $2K for the girls and I to fly to Paris for a week. I almost clicked “buy.” I know we would have a great time, even if
O genki desu ka?
It’s official. We’ve cashed in a whole lot of SkyMiles and are headed to Japan for 2.5 weeks in June. One week we will spend in Okinawa (see photo), then 1.5 weeks will be spent in Kyoto, Hiroshima, and Tokyo. I’m looking into Japanese for travelers right now — I did minor in Japanese, but
Road Trip
The girls and I headed up to Washington DC for an XM Kids Rumpus Room concert. We got to see one of our favorites, The Hipwaders! While there, we went to the Postal Museum, Union Station, many Smithsonian Museums on the Mall and stayed at L’Enfant Plaza! It was a great weekend, and we can’t
Union Station
As in Washington DC PS. While this photo may not be really interesting, its timing is. As you can see, ten minutes later, the station became quite a zoo: Suspicious Package Stops Union Station Trains Briefly By Joshua ZumbrunWashington Post Staff WriterFriday, November 16, 2007; 4:28 PM Traffic was temporarily halted at Union Station this

Rob took the girls up Stone Mountain in the tram … It wasn’t too windy for Chloe, according to Chloe.

Wildlife in Texas
(That’s Fossil Rim and Trout Fishing in America.)
Have you met my friend Tom?
(For those of you on MySpace, no, no that Tom). I have a new friend Tom. As I get to know him better, I think he will become a great guide for me on my journeys in life. His real name is TomTom One XL, and he speaks with a very soothing British accent (well,
