I’m going to be honest, sometimes I think we are crazy for continuing our yearly adventures with a little one in tow. My anxiety goes up a lot sooner as we near our departure date, the flights are always a hope and a prayer…you know, more so than regular flights are…and with the added joy […]
A City of Smells and Stairs
Why hello faithful blog readers! Hello? …hello…? Ok, I realize it’s been a literal year since my last blog entry, but in my defense, I am terrible at maintaining a regular writing schedule.

Planes, Trains, and Aerial Automobiles

We were going to be at the beach on an island after all, and I’m all about going with the flow when on beachy, island-y vacations.
