Not sure what to do this weekend? This Saturday, September 27th, is Museum Day 2008 at participating Smithsonian museums. Locate a museum and download an admission card (good for two free admissions) to get in on this great offer.
I had grand plans to take the kids to the San Diego Air and Space [...]
Megan’s Travels with Stoney journal. Not bad for a seven year old. I love getting a glimpse into Megan’s head - unfortunately this is the one and only entry that Megan made during her five day cross-country road trip with dad.
Too much corn on the trip. the sine on my window said [...]
It’s true that Adam was working and I was house hunting but we did manage to fit in a lot of fun things too.
The Beach. We went to the beach on several occasions. It is one of our favorite things to do as a family. The last time Megan and Paul were at [...]

We spent the afternoon soaking up the sun at Coronado Beach and afterwards Adam suggested eating dinner at Extraordinary Desserts. There is “real” food on the menu. [...]

Adam pretty much sums up what I have to say about our upcoming move from Detroit (Romeo) to San Diego. More on my perspective in upcoming posts.
While Adam fantasizes about going to Helsinki for our next vacation, Megan and I fantasize about going to Hawaii. In our minds we have already planned out our elaborate mother-daughter getaway. I think that even Adam would have to agree that Hawaii sounds pretty good compared to our cold Michigan winter.
In January I wrote about participating in a travel swap. I swapped with Madelene from California (visit her blog to see what she sent me). I have to agree with her sentiment that despite our differences in age, lifestyle and background we do have a lot in common. I enjoyed the creativity [...]
Adam and I are reading a book called By the Seat of My Pants: Humorous Tales of Travel and Misadventure. Published by Lonely Planet, the book is a compilation of essays documenting travel adventures gone wrong. Imagine the worst possible travel scenarios accompanied by a great sense of humor (at least in hindsight) [...]
A couple weeks ago I did something very uncharacteristic of me… I signed up on a blog (that I had never read before) to participate in a travel swap. I’ve noticed that many blogs host swaps - book swaps, craft swaps, Christmas ornament swaps and even a Valentines Day Goody Swap but this [...]
