So many windows on this facade in Barcelona!
photo friday: DUMBO and the Brooklyn Bridge
Camille and I had a lovely Sunday morning exploring the DUMBO flea market and eating lunch a picnic table in the midst of it all. From there, she took the train into the city to see a play. I decided to wander over the bridge. SO MANY PEOPLE. It really was not enjoyable. I’ll not

Always a fun place to stop and have a bite to eat or grab a cup of coffee!

Our final tourist attraction while in NYC – One World Trade Center. Camille is not a fan of heights, but agreed to go with me anyway …
photo friday: grand central station
Who doesn’t love Grand Central? Even when we are not headed off on a train, we make a point of stopping in the station for the architecture, the vibe, the food, and the stores!

On Sunday afternoon, after my Sunday morning walk in Paris, I made my way to the train station. The machine wouldn’t take my credit card (not surprising – our stupid US cards will move to chip and pin eventually…. been saying that for 15 years now). I finally made my way onto a train —
photo friday: decorative arts
While in Dublin, we let Camille choose something she wanted to do … she chose the Decorative Arts & History Museum. My mom, Camille and I walked over there and spend a couple of hours exploring. We let Camille go off on her own after a bit, and Camille enjoyed her time there.

While in Galway, we left the car in the parking garage and walked everywhere. Walking along the harbor area was particularly fun as we explored the city.
photo friday: ellis island
The ferry to Liberty Island also includes a stop at Ellis Island. At one point, both of my girls were interested in immigration, but not so much any more. I think we all used all of our enthusiasm up at Liberty Island. We enjoyed seeing Ellis Island, but we didn’t spend much time there. Camille
photo friday: u.s. capitol
Since we haven’t been to the Capitol for years, not since before the opening of the new Visitor’s Center, I though we’d squeeze in a Capitol tour as well. While the same aide that got us tickets to the White House got us tickets to the Capitol, he reserved them before we knew when the
photo friday: buildings in amsterdam
And for the final Photo Friday from Amsterdam — now over six months since we returned from our trip — I focus on the the tall, narrow buildings that line the streets and canals. While most have a similar form, each is unique. The result is a lovely one!
photo friday: oia, santorini
On our first full day in Santorini, the girls and I tackled the local bus system in order to make our way over to Oia, one of the “caldera” cities. Despite the heat, we had a wonderful time exploring all the windy streets. Our favorite discovrey was Atlantis Books! We also enjoyed a relaxing late
Greece Trip: Day 10
As usual, I did not sleep well the night before an early flight. The wake up call came at 4:45, but I had been up for a while by then. We finished packing up and headed downstairs for our 5:15 ride to the airport. I was surprised at how crowded the airport was; ours was
Greece Trip: Day 8
Last night, we decided today would be a “slow” day. Even so, I couldn’t sleep past 7:30. While I worked on my trip photos and summaries, I let the girls sleep until almost 9. Once they were up and ready, we went down to breakfast. A large buffet of cheese, eggs, pastries, fruit, yogurt and
Spring Break Day 8: Yerba Buena, Cherry Blossoms, Telegraph Hill
I woke early and worked on a few things, then the girls and I joined Rob for the meeting breakfast. It wasn’t very good. We then hung out in the hotel room for a while before walking over to Yerba Buena Gardens, where we explored and then Chloe played on the playground for quite a
photo friday: gateway arch
In June, the girls and I accompanied Rob on a trip to St. Louis. The girls had two “must visit” places for the trip: City Museum and the Gateway Arch. So first thing Sunday morning, we headed down to the river to visit the arch. While there, we chose to visit the Westward Expansion Museum,
photo friday: public spaces in NYC
Back in April when Camille and I were in NYC, two places high on Camille’s wish list were the NY Public Library and Grand Central Station. So after we disembarked from our Circle Line cruise, we walked across town to Bryant Park where we rested a bit and then went into the library. I wasn’t
Monday in Manhattan
While in NYC a couple of weeks ago, I offered the girls the choice between a trip on the Circle Line or a visit to the top of the Empire State Building. The unanimous response was in favor of the Empire State Building. I don’t quite get the reasoning, but I think it had to
