Brian managed to score some circus tickets from work. While part of me knew the kids would love to go the other part of me really didn’t want to support an organization that cages animals, trains them, and then drags them around the world for people’s “entertainment”. I mean, I don’t support Sea World so Continue reading
Most of my friends know what a foodie I am. Most of my friends know that my husband is not. A lot of people ask me how I make our relationship work when something that is a part of our every day life (f00d) is SO opposite. The answer – f00dclub! The idea started when Continue reading
This morning started out with a free breakfast for most of the family at Hilton San Diego Resort and Spa. I guess it does pay to be a gold member. After breakfast we checked out the pool and ran into a mother duck and her ducklings. They were about to go for a dip in Continue reading
It’s a holiday weekend. We have four glorious days off. What to do? San Diego! What better way to enjoy Independence Day than in cooler weather. So, we packed up the car and headed south. But first, food. After a hearty meal, the kids settled in for a nap as we got back on the Continue reading

I’m glad I posted this because I learned a lot. See, sharing your ignorance helps you to learn. Let Continue reading
Day 7. Our last day. All of our hearts are heavy. The kids are begging us not to make them leave Hawai’i even though they didn’t want to come in the first place. They fell in love. And, well, how could you not? Of course, we spent our last few hours at the resort pool. Continue reading
Ah day six. I can’t believe I’m typing a day six post already. Time sure flies when you’re on vacation. Day six was a day of relaxation. For me, it was mostly because my ankle needed a rest. Although it was much less swollen when I woke up it was still very, very sore. So, Continue reading
Day 5 started out a little lazy – morning coffee on the patio with the family waiting for our little kitty cat friend to stop by for a visit. Unfortunately, our resort gardeners came by instead. I knew that there was no way the cat would come by with a riding lawn mower buzzing around. Continue reading
