Academy of Sciences

We spent MLK’s birthday at the California Academy of Sciences.  We have been meaning to go for so long and only finally got around to it. I came home with 200 photos of fish. They were really into it. We all were! He was watching the penguin feeding and ripping Kyle’s skin off with excited gyrations. Sadly, the Planetarium programs were for kids over age 4, so that was a bummer, but there was soooo much else to do it was fine.  The cafeteria looked LEGIT so next time we may eat there.  I got… Read more >

Disney day and night flight

V woke up at 3 am that “morning” so it’s a good thing we had the kids separated.  I tried to ignore her in the hopes that she’d just go back to sleep, but after what seemed like an eternity of listening to her wail, I went out and got her.  She doesn’t snuggle so bringing her into our bed wasn’t an option. Instead I carried her and walked around the separate TV area of the suite hoping she’d fall back asleep or something in my arms.  No luck.  I was a walking zombie though and I… Read more >

Florida road trip

Kyle had work on Monday so I took the kids to WF for our last brekkie in West Palm.  Well actually I got breakfast for me.  The kids had odds and ends to finish off.  I planned their food out pretty perfectly.  I’m VERY anti food waste and don’t throw nary a scrap out.  It’s an obsession slash illness, but sometimes it works out for the best when you have no meal planned (and are cheap!) but you do have a dozen little containers with 3 bites of pancakes, or french toast, or yogurt left in each….

Turtles and recovery

I don’t have many photos of the kids today because we didn’t do too much.  P had another rough night, so we all had a rough night.  On top of that we were still scrambling with flight changes and hotel reservations. Kyle and I alternated going to the gym in the morning.  The rain had kinda taken a rest so we could have run outside, but it was still dark because that’s how early we were up.  I totally phoned in my work out…don’t tell on me. We got breakfast from the hotel buffet.  I sent Kyle… Read more >

Hotel time in Palm Beach

On our first weekend day in Palm Beach we decided to go out to breakfast as a family since Kyle was free from his work stuff. But first we had to deal with a bit of drama with our flights.  The terminal we were supposed to fly out of was closed because of the shootings the day before so they wanted to switch our flight (which was supposed to be the next day) so we were on the phone back and forth with the agents and Kyle’s work peeps to try to figure out a solution.  To… Read more >
