Now that I've told you almost everything about our two weeks on the other side of the Atlantic ocean (except for, I guess, some of the lodging food, but that could still come up soon; not like, regurgitation, it's long since digested, but like, I might still do a post on it), I want to...

London is a remarkably easy city to navigate, which, coming from me, is saying something because I'm so directionally challenged that I can't find my way around the city I grew up in. Many of the most notable monuments and attractions are within easy walking distance, but even when walking isn't the best option, the... Continue Reading →
After our weekend in Paris, we were ready to explore England, and we began by venturing just a little beyond London with an all-day tour to Stonehenge and Bath. I had visited both of these locations in my school days and I enjoyed them and Kalen said he would like to see them too. We... Continue Reading →
Happy Flamingo Day! While you enjoy a bird-shaped cookie or a pink margarita, have a read about our adventures in Paris (which were, unfortunately, entirely devoid of flamingos). After just a couple days in London, it was time for the next chapter in our trip: a quick trip over (or rather under) the channel to... Continue Reading →
I've been struggling with the most efficient way to organize our trip into easily digestible blog posts. I think I need to mostly stick with a chronological recount. Normally I would like to arrange by topic, with one post dedicated to the hotels and another post about museums and another post about food, but because... Continue Reading →
I almost titled this "To and Fro" and had a whole rant about how stupid that was before I changed my mind at the very last minute, but I like this title much better (probably because a much better writer came up with it). Anyway, this is my first real post about our trip to... Continue Reading →
When we bought our house, one of the little things we were excited about was that the yard seemingly had the capability of growing strawberries, which are Kalen's favorite. In the middle of the concrete patio by the garage, the small garden bed was full of strawberry plants. We had rented various places up until... Continue Reading →
When I was in second grade, I began to notice that sometimes my eyes took a few minutes to adjust from writing or drawing at my desk to reading what the teacher had written on the chalkboard. I wasn't particularly concerned; I'd look at the board and after a couple minutes the words came into... Continue Reading →
It's that time of year again: grass is greening up, trees are blossoming, the days are starting to get a little longer, it's starting to get just a little warmer outside, and Lady Liberties and Uncle Sams are sprouting at every major intersection. It's tax time! In the United States, anyway; I don't know how... Continue Reading →
I haven't been writing as much lately as I would like, and while some of that is down to writer's block, mostly I just can't seem to find the time. When I first put this blog together almost a year ago, I kind of thought it would serve as a journal where I could write... Continue Reading →
