You might think it would be difficult to get a baby to nap on a speedboat, but Logan is a pro. The one tour I really wanted to do while we were in this part of Belize was a tour of Monkey River. We were lucky enough to book with Percy of Barebones Tours. Percy…

Las Vegas!
Sin City feels a lot less sinful with a toddler. I’m not sure what to say about Vegas. It was completely overstimulating for all of us, especially coming from Zion. The national rodeo finals were in town, so there were lots of gentlemen in very large cowboy hats accompanying ladies who wore jeans with festively…
Arches to Zion
Yup, we ran the entire alphabet today! Morning came, chilly and cold, and brought with it a seriously unhappy toddler. Getting packed and ready to go this morning was tough with a kid who wouldn’t be put down, wouldn’t be distracted, and wouldn’t be appeased. Thankfully, some bacon and toast with purple jam (some blackberry,…
Nara: Ami almost gets eaten by deer
OMG, you guys. I guess we’ve been pushing our toddler hard, because today she woke up just before 11. My toddler is a teenager? Well, she’s at least a tween, if that look on her face is any indication. We gathered ourselves and left our apartment, stroller in tow, to find some lunch. On the…
Kyoto: Fushimi Inari and Strolling
Kyoto, Day 3 of not nearly enough! Today started with a trek to Fushimi Inari, a shrine with lots and lots of bright red gates stretching up a mountainside. It’s an iconic view you’ve probably seen before. Because today was the vernal equinox, the site was really crowded with domestic tourists. It was neat, though,…
Tokyo: Mornings and Friends Arrive
4:30. I hope someday to start one of these posts without first listing the painful time the toddler awoke and demanded 1. Attention 2. Water 3. “Ami watch Daniel Tiger” 4. “Ami eat”, or 5. Tawbeddies (strawberries). Anyway. We left the house just before 7 and took a mostly empty train to Ginza, where we…
22/23 months(!) with Babaloo
Wow. A lot has happened in 2 months! Ami has started school (two days a week, 9-1, at an Mother’s Day Out program, that is). Her first few weeks went really well, but then we were gone for a couple of weeks, and ever since we got back dropoff has been a nightmare for the…
Roadfood
We’re headed home today, taking the long way through Natchitoches to see more family. We found this place off the side of 190 and just had to stop. We bought spicy boiled green peanuts. They were delicious and soft and reminded me of the texture of the green almonds we ate years ago at the…
Not looking good on the water front
No, not waterfront as in bordering a lake or body of water. I mean front line of the battle to get actual running water back into the house. Just got back from the store and this is what it looks like outside. Also, there’s nobody working on it, not even the guy who was standing…
Clearly not A Good Thing.
Logan swears Martha Stewart’s recipes are well researched and generally failproof. I like her television shows and magazine. But she really should take a course in food photography. http://www.buzzfeed.com/rachelzarrell/someone-needs-to-tell-martha-stewart-her-food-tweets-are-dis This makes me feel MUCH better about the pictures in my post about our meal at Tomo that I just put up over at the big…
