Let’s see…I walked to the eye doctor in Carlsbad Thursday (a couple miles each way) for an eye exam, new contacts, and new glasses while the kids walked in the opposite direction to get some more fruit and eggs at the farmers market. Then I stopped at the organic grocery, ATM (In network! No fees!),…
After a whirlwind couple o’ days in Colorado Springs where we caught up on mail and appointments, we flew to San Diego Monday night and took the train to Oceanside Tuesday. We’re staying in a lovely condo that’s less than a block from the Pacific Ocean. HOWEVER, the train tracks are as close as the…
We flew from DC to Chattanooga on September 13 and are flying back to Colorado in the morning (the 21st). We came here to visit homeschooling friends, Lance and Elyssa, from Colorado Springs who moved here with their five kids in 2012. They bought five acres of land to farm and, with their friend Dan…
Sorry I messed up the days on the previous post (now corrected). I have to start off with Colorado news. I read the top story and watched the video on cnn.com about the flooding in Boulder and Lyons – 6 inches of rain in less than a day, a 500-year flood. How awful. It seems…
On Monday we took three trains to get from our Lower Manhattan apartment to the airport in Queens, flying out of JFK into Washington DC (Reagan). DC, at least the parts we’ve seen so far, is a very different city from Boston and New York. We’re staying in the basement of a house that’s near…
This is our last night in New York; tomorrow we’ll fly out of JFK to Washington, D.C. The title is one of many questions Charlie asked recently. We never did make it across the Brooklyn Bridge. (I have been known to over-schedule.) We did, however, make it to Hamilton, New Jersey – two Hamiltons in…
We were in Boston September 1 – 5, and are now in Manhattan. I don’t have any photos to include with this post, but hopefully I will soon. We used Laurel’s camera in Boston because hers is skinnier and easier to carry around. When she tried to upload the pictures to the computer this evening…
We’d never flown into Detroit before, and I didn’t realize how large and pretty their airport is. There’s a really cool hallway leading to the A concourse with flashing and changing colors and music in kind of a tunnel with artsy walls where the colored light flashes. I tried uploading the video here but with…
Jane picked us up at Mom’s house this morning and drove us to the Dayton airport. Unlike what would have happened if I were responsible for getting us to the airport, we actually arrived early and are waiting to leave on a 10:18 am flight. And Jane, you were right, our tiny plane is too…
Yes, it’s been a full week. Jane invited us over again to swim at her condo complex. Some childhood friends of mine invited me to go with them to a murder mystery theater/dinner. Jane took us to Findlay Market (farmers market) in Cincinnati again which was quite fruitful. Ba dum bum. We drove with Mom…
