The Long Way Back

So we gathered up all of our stuff and cleaned up the house a little bit. We were all going to the same airport, which was handy and their flight was leaving only an hour after ours. There are of course some Disney stores in the airport so we checked those out before saying our […]


Florida Day 5

Sea World! We saw baby dolphins, and stingrays, and seals, and a walrus, and manatees, and whales, and fish, and sharks, and sea turtles, and flamingos, and an otter. I liked Sea World a lot. It wasn’t as crowded as Disney, so we didn’t really have to wait in line for rides and events. The […]


Florida Day 4 – Part 2

Blogging is hard work. So Dad, Will, and I went to Kennedy Space Center. It was cool. We took a bus tour all around the grounds and saw the launch site and the giant building where they build things and the big crawler that takes all the giant stuff out to the launch pad. From […]


Florida Day 4 – Part 1

Day 4 was our big trip to the ocean and for Will, Dad, and me it was our trip to Kennedy Space Center. The ocean was really cool. I had never actually seen the open Atlantic or Pacific for myself. I’ve been to seas, like the North Sea in Germany, the Adriatic, and the Gulf […]


Florida Day 3

Day 3 was the day we took our trip to Magic Kingdom, which I imagine is the most popular Disney park. You have to take either a ferry or the monorail from the parking lot to the park. It adds a not insignificant amount of travel time, but it’s neat on the way there at […]


Note to All

Don’t let me get a hold of your camera. And check your pool for alligators.


Florida Day 2

Day 2 was super lazy. We slept late, had some breakfast, and mostly stayed at the house and played in the pool. Right, we stayed in a house with a pool. Someone Jesse knows from work hooked us up. Anyway, when we got sick of that, we went to play mini golf at this pretty […]


Florida Day 1

Well, we went to Florida to meet my parents and my sister and her husband and their three kids.  They got there on a Friday and we showed up late the next day.  When we got there, we basically had a snack, chatted for a bit, and then went to bed. The next day it […]


Some stuff to report…

Will’s in New York for some kind of tech conference.  He’s there with his friend Ben, who is one of the presenters.  Every so often he texts me about how much fun he’s having. This past weekend, I visited Jon and Julie and Patrick at the army base.  Patrick is five and he seems to […]


More Mackelmore

Joni has a crush on Mackelmore.  I’m sure you’ve heard at least one of his songs.  Thrift Shop in particular is pretty popular.  It’s got less than child friend lyrics though, so we’re not embedding it here.  Search YouTube.  You’ll find it. Why are we mentioning it?  Well, the song is filmed at thrift shops […]
