Summer Road Trip 2017 – Day 1
We decided to kick off this year’s summer vacation with a road trip up the coast. This would be our first big road trip in one of our Teslas which would require several charging stops. For our first charge we stopped in Buellton. It took about an hour to get the charge we needed to Continue reading
626 Night Market
It’s been a few years since I first heard about the 626 Night Market and wanted to attend. There’s always one reason or another why I don’t attend – usually it’s jus too hot. Well, tonight I was finally able to check this off my bucket list. It was a perfect night – not too Continue reading
Let The Four Day Weekend Begin
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
Hawai’i 2015 – Day 7
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
Hawai’i 2015 – Day 6

Hawai’i 2015 – Day 5
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
Hawai’i 2015 – Day 4
After an adventurous day yesterday and a late night out (late for us, anyways) getting up early was not what I had in mind. And by early, I mean 8:00 AM. Hey, don’t judge, I’m on vacation! But, we had to get up early because we signed up for a glass bottom boat tour that Continue reading
Hawai’i 2015 – Day 3
After a couple of days of lounging around the pool we decided that we were ready to do something different. It was time to find our sense of adventure and take a road trip around the island – and today was the day to do it. Since today was the day the cleaning crew arrived Continue reading
Hawai’i 2015 – Day 2
Day 2 in Hawai’i was our most relaxing day yet. Today’s plan had absolutely nothing on the agenda. Love that! The kids woke up at about 6:15 AM and I awoke shortly after. We hung out on the patio for about an hour. We had our regular morning visit from the neighborhood cat too. Ethan Continue reading
