The last leg of our California roadtrip (which, by now feels like a lifetime ago) was a few days in Yosemite over July 4th weekend. We rented a Marriott property which was a cabin in the park, which was definitely the right move since the park is huge and would’ve taken an hour to drive…
Kings Canyon & Sequoia National Parks
The summer feels like it’s flying by. I’ve just come back from a girls’ week in Cleveland, Ohio (a blog post will be coming on that soon – don’t sleep on Ohio!), and have been catching up on various interviews and life admin. It feels like we’ve just returned from our CA roadtrip, but in…
Pinnacles National Park
We had a wedding ~40 minutes away from Pinnacles, so visited for a day trip to knock out another NP off our list. We got the National Parks Stamps Passport when S was born and have basically done everything on the east coast, so revel in the opportunity to get a stamp at a new…
California Roadtrip (with two toddlers!)
We’ve just returned from our big family trip of the year. Are we that kind of people now, where we only do one big family trip a year (I am not counting Florida / beach weeks, although I guess eventually that would count as a family trip)? Honestly, maybe, because as much fun as this…
Sewall’s Point and Disney as a Family of 4
Someone chided me for the lack of blogposts this year, and I had to sheepishly say “well we haven’t travelled anywhere fun this year to be able to write about it!” But I suppose this blog has evolved into more of a lifestyle update than a fun adventurous guide, anyway, so here’s some updates for…
“You’re my greatest adventure, but you’re also my home”
For the first time in years, I am not delinquent on blogposts. Not because I’ve suddenly become very on top of my stuff, but because this year our travel has been significantly reduced! We had no major trips since TJLH was born in mid-May (we were supposed to go to Greece at the end of…
(another) Little Update
Update! Our second human child T was born on May 15, 2023 at 3:35 PM, weighing 8 lb 12 oz and 19.5 inches long. I was re-reading the “a little update” blogpost I had written when S was born in the first week when T was home, and had written it when she was a…
Montevideo, Uruguay
The last blogpost of our little Christmas vacation…4 months ago at this point…and almost certainly the last post before a second human baby joins the family in a few short weeks! We just had our last weekend away this past weekend (to the very exciting town of Langhorne, PA for a weekend at SESAME PLACE),…
Buenos Aires, Argentina
TWO blogposts within the span of a week? You know what that means…either we have another trip coming up soon and I need to crank out my backlog of travel blogs, or I’m on the beach (at work – for the non-consultants this means I’m not actively staffed on a project). Sadly even I’m not…
Bariloche, Patagonia, Argentina
The other day I was catching up with a friend and they asked me how our trip to Patagonia was. And I realized that I had mostly blacked it out of memory because we had SO much going on during / afterwards. Oops. But I’m catching up now! Our 24 hour travel day My last…
