Happy Mother’s Day
Ended a fun Mother’s day with a trip to the beach, which included putting our feet in the ocean, the playground, ice cream, and of course posing for a few pictures taken by “the mother”. This was one of my favs!!!
Read MoreGoodbye Big Bend
We left BigBend this afternoon and had an amazing time there. Only real downside was the smog from Mexico, which was obscuring some views depending on which way the wind was blowing. Yesterday we let the smog dictate a different hike mid way through. We started up Emory peak, but opted for the South Rim…

Below are a few highlights of our drive from Marfa (along the Rio Grande) to Big Bend National Park. We seemed to stop every 5 min because it was so beautiful and you know how we love our pictures. We did a couple short hikes and had a wonderful picnic overlooking some enormous plateaus/mesas. We…

We flew Manchester to Orlando, then to Houston and finally to El Paso yesterday and were only delayed about 20 min total. We followed that up with about a 4 hour drive to Marfa, TX to set us up for this morning. It’s worth noting that we also found a slightly seedy Mexican restaurant for…

Today couldn’t have been much worse (well, it probably could but I don’t even want to think about that). The great thing about being a parent though is you can still come home to a wonderful little person who can make anything better. Wives are pretty good at that too (well mine is). Today Helena…
Read MoreSo Many Changes
Helena has changed so much in the last few weeks. No sooner did she start crawling, then, did she figure out how to pull herself up to a standing position. She is trying to talk. Ma-ma is her favorite word. But she is slowly but surely learning how to say dad-da. In fact, today is…
Read MoreLong Drive – Great Finish
Two days and 900 miles later we enjoyed a walk in the ocean at sunset. Can’t wait to go for a swim. Helena did awesome in the car but is very happy to not be in the car seat again for a little while.
Read MoreOut To The Coast
After having a little spat with cabin fever we decided we needed to get out of the house. The destination was the ocean. Helena’s first trip since about 3 weeks old. She had a great time and seemed very impressed with the ocean this time (don’t think she even opened her eyes last time). But…
