When I talked to Julie the week before our big trip, she mentioned that she enjoys walking, and she hoped to walk everywhere in Tel Aviv. “Perfect, I love walking!” I said. But then, as I got to know Julie better, I began to realize we were not exactly on the same level with the physical fitness. She walks, and she runs, and she exercises. Julie is what we call fit.

The beach is my favorite place to go in the summer, but it can be expensive and dangerous for a family full of pale skinned people. This year we actually managed to take a thrifty trip to Miramar Beach without getting sun-burned! Alan and I are always dreaming up fun things to do together as a family, and our efforts are often met with …….resistence. One of our fellas actually lamented, “I don’t want to go to the beach. I […]

The butterflies were of course all over, and we were all excited to be a part of it…..except John David. JD sort of whimpered the whole time and got all sorts of freaked out if a butterfly flew anywhere near him, and so our time in the Butterfly Center was cut short.

What to Expect at Legoland Discovery Center in Atlanta There are a few Legoland Discovery Centers around the country now. We went to the one in Atlanta during spring break.

They’d probably be totally satisfied. […]
