Last post I made near the beginning of our vacation I was pretty optimistic that I would arrive home and be at my goal weight. Things were going well. I was behaving myself when it came to eating, I had gotten out on a run and our daily activities were keeping me going. That didn’tContinue reading “Home Again”

I Know What You’re Talking About
One of our visits to the local zoo my sister noticed the turtles were getting fairly, ummm, friendly with each other. Trying to be subtle about it she comes up to me and says, “Look the turtles are playing leap frog with each other”. My nine year old daughter comes up to me a coupleContinue reading “I Know What You’re Talking About”
Going with the flow
Some of our vacation hasn’t gone exactly as planned, but that doesn’t mean it hasn’t been great so far. We ended up cancelling our trip into NYC yesterday as everyone felt it was going to be just too much traveling for too little time in the city.This was after we had already started driving. Instead,Continue reading “Going with the flow”
Going Through Tech Withdrawal
Before we left for this vacation I knew one part was going to be rough for me in particular. It’s a very rare occasion where I’m not able to pull out my phone and be connected to everyone and everything. Traveling to the US with a Canadian cell phone makes that very cost prohibitive. LuckilyContinue reading “Going Through Tech Withdrawal”
Healthy on Vacation

So far that hasn’t been a problem. We’ve been packing lunches and coming back to the cottage for supper, so it’sContinue reading “Healthy on Vacation”
Traveling Day
We had quite the day of traveling yesterday. We had the alarm set for 4:30am to make sure we had everything ready to leave the house by 6:00am. Things went pretty smooth except shortly after leaving the house we had to turn around because I forgot the laptop. However, we made it to YarmouthContinue reading “Traveling Day”
Feeling the Vacation Stress
It’s the night before our family vacation and the stress is starting to set in. I’m not entirely sure why. We’ve gone on a number of big vacations with the family and they always turn out fine. This one feels different though. I’m not sure if it is the driving distance, it’s not much furtherContinue reading “Feeling the Vacation Stress”
When You’re Right, You’re Right
A couple months ago my son was asking my wife about her wedding rings. He wanted to know why she had two different rings. Jen explained to him that one was the wedding band and one was the ring I gave her when I asked her to marry me. “Mommy, why did Daddy ask youContinue reading “When You’re Right, You’re Right”
It’s Rough Getting Old
A couple weeks ago my nine year old daughter sort of limps up to me. She takes her right leg and moves it back and forth and says, “when I do this it hurts my leg”. She then proceeds to do something very similar with her left leg but moving it in a different fashion,Continue reading “It’s Rough Getting Old”
