I love road trips with the family. I love to get in the car and drive to a new place every day or two. It is great. What I don’t like is the luggage! More than once I have felt tired just looking at all the luggage we needed to haul into the hotel [...]
How many times do you buy something and think it will make you happier? Ok, probably a lot of time. But when was the last time you made a happy memory and regretted it? Probably never. Take some time this weekend and make memories with your family. It's much better than stuff and it lasts [...]
As Cindy and I drove back from a very entertaining 5-day vacation at Disney World (3 actual days at the park over Thanksgiving weekend - this certifies us as crazy), we marveled at the expense of visiting one of our favorite family getaways. Hotel here, entrance ticket there, Mickey ice cream way over there (who [...]
In general, I like to be random. Randomness makes life interesting and less mundane. Some like routine, but it's boring and predictable. Doing one random thing a day will make you laugh, get a weird look for someone, and remind you that you're in fact, ALIVE!
If I had a nickel for every time I got lost, I would have about 25 cents. Why so little money? Mainly because I am a male and am never lost. I am either distracted, taking a scenic route, or double checking if my wife is paying attention. When Cindy thinks we are lost, we usually [...]
Twas the Tenth Day of Christmas, and let it be known, that England was chosen. This ornament was one of our original travel pieces. When we lived in Europe, we traveled to London for a week and fell in love with the city. Of particular fondness was Westminster Abbey. Westminster Abbey is a jewel of [...]
On the ninth day of Christmas, I hot tailed it to Costa Rica. We had a blast on the Atlantic Coast. Swimming. Scuba diving. Eating bananas. Listening to poison dart frogs chirp. That's the beach life. This ornament is from Puerto Viejo. It is a artistic compilation of Nature. And Costa Rica is every bit [...]
It's the eighth day of Christmas, what did I win Bob? It's a trip to DisneyWorld. This is our most recent Christmas tree addition as we went to DisneyWorld over the Thanksgiving holiday. It was non-traditional but a great way to utilize holiday time off. The girls love the "Magic" of the parks during the [...]
On the seventh day of Christmas, I was completely tired with Christmas shopping, Christmas crowds, and Christmas traffic. This is why I travel, to avoid the madness. A great place to go? Thailand. What does Thailand offer? Warm weather, great food, and kind people. Now that's a Christmas present. We visited Thailand from the most Southern towns (Ao [...]
On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me... a cruise with all of her fa-mi-ly. Our tree actually has three cruise ship ornaments. One for each cruise that we went on with family. Three different cruises and three different cruise lines. Can't accuse us of being normal. One cruise had terrific destinations [...]
