Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Blau Varadero, Cuba (March 2011)

Pace runs from the waves on our first morning in Cuba a few years ago…

10 “Must Have” Things I Look For In An All-Inclusive Resort

Shea and I have been on a handful of all-inclusive vacations over the years.  Every place has had its good and bad points but overall, these varied trips to Mexico (Mazatlan, Mayan Riviera, Cancun), Cuba (Varadero) and most recently, the Dominican Republic (Punta Cana), have given me a pretty good idea of some of the things I […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Cuba Libre! (March 2011)

This is the reminder that popped up on my work computer the day before we left for Cuba a few years back…

Five Highlights From Two Weeks of Camping

Gone Camping (again)

Posts will likely be few and far between until next week…

Friday Fun Link – Hilarious Booze Cruise Story

Not sure if I’ve ever posted this before but I’ve watched it numerous times. Always cracks me up by reminding me of some of the crazy stupid stories my friends and I tell each other about our own wild times in high school and college.

Music Monday – “Unlock my body and move myself to dance/Moving warm liquid, flowing blowing glass”

Went on our inaugural camping trip of the summer this past weekend at the beautiful Echo Lake Provincial Park. Due to a mispronunciation when Pace was little, these fine treats will forever be known as “smorts” in our family! 😉   Until I looked at this photo when we got home, I never noticed that […]
