Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Hotel Riu Cancun (March 2004)

Shea and I have rarely (never?) stayed at the same brand of hotel during our various all-inclusive trips over the years, always interested in trying new places (though we lean heavily on the Cancun/Mayan Riviera area lately compared to moving around more when we first starting going to resorts.) We stayed at a Riu during […]

Saturday Snap – Halloween Zombies? Or ???

My son and his girlfriend dressed up as zombies to hand out candy.  But the funniest was one kid goes “Are you dressed up as Vomit People?”

Throwback Thursday – Halloween Surprise (Oct 2012)

Still one of my best “Creating Memories” dad moments. When he was little, Pace was massively into Batman.  So I went out to Spirit of Halloween the night before Halloween and bought a Robin costume which I wore to work then messaged Shea to send Pace out to the street in costume when I got […]

Saturday Snap – Happy 54th Anniversary Mom and Dad!

The surprise birthday cake was a hit! (I’ve also been thinking a lot lately about the concept of “thoughtfulness” and how that interacts with kindness and empathy.  Might be a topic for a future Wisdom Wednesday post…)

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Isla Mujeres Ferry (February 2020)

Shea and I have done three or four day trips to Isla Mujeres when we’ve stayed at all-inclusives in the Cancun area over the years. And every time, we come home and say “That was the best part of our trip – we should stay there for our whole trip sometime!” Isla Mujeres is a […]

Friday Fun Link – Isla Contoy

We’ll be visiting Isla Mujeres from March 2 to 9 and this will be the first time we haven’t stayed at an all-inclusive in all our various trips to Mexico/Cuba/Dominican Republic over the past 25 years. One thing we might do is take a boat trip to an ecologically protected, undeveloped island…
