Baby’s First Oceanfront Penthouse Condo

We took the baby on her first beach vacation last week to the Outer Banks of North Carolina. My parents rented a fabulous oceanfront penthouse condo and generously invited their kids, significant others and grandkids to come along on vacation with them.
Some highlights from the trip: Bramanda temporarily renouncing their vegetarian ways in order to [...]

Back and behind

We’re back from vacation. I am so behind on blogging, on posting pictures to flickr, on laundry, on responding to emails…I need another vacation please.
The trip was gorgeous. Cape Cod is gorgeous. We had some crummy weather, but fortunately there was an international film festival in town, so we took advantage of that and saw [...]

Goin’ On Vacation

Dear Loyal Readers:
We are going on vacation tomorrow! We are headed to Cape Cod, MA, where we rented a beach house for the week. We’re going with my brother Brandon, his girlfriend Amanda, and my brother Eric. It’ll be the first time us kids go on vacation without our parents. God, we’re so grown up.

I *HEART* NYC

My trip to NYC confirmed what I already knew–I love the city. Love it. As in the “if I wasn’t already married to Larry, I would want to marry NYC” kind of love it. But as I mentioned, I already knew that. And all the rumors were so untrue. Stinky? Nah, France is much stinkier, [...]

How to Visit DC and not see DC, or: How My Dad Spent His Spring Break

My parents came to visit us for Spring Break, instead of going to Panama City Beach or South Padre Island and doing beer bongs and dancing all night at Foam Parties. When they come to visit, it’s like we’re on vacation too—lots of fun, tons of laughing and no work.
They’ve visited many times, and they’ve [...]

The King’s Castle

We drove to Fort Wayne, Indiana on Thanksgiving to spend the day with the King family. The whole clan was there, including Larry’s Grandma and Aunt Joan. It was really great to see everyone, and we had a delicious Thanksgiving dinner.
Bill prepared the turkey this year, deep frying it in a vat of peanut oil. [...]

Back Home in Indiana

We’re going to Indiana for Thanksgiving next week. We’ll be hanging out at the lodge in Westfield, IN:

Although I’m guessing the sky won’t be so blue and the grass won’t be so green when we get there.
We’re also going to be hanging out in Fort Wayne, Indiana. I don’t have a picture of the King [...]

Pictures, finally

We’re back in Bethesda–actually, I’m back in Bethesda, and Larry is already in Boston, MA for a week-long conference on usability. Lucky Larry gets to hang out with my brother Brandon, who lives in Boston and attends Boston University.
I was finally able to upload my pictures to Flickr today. Here are some of my favorites: [...]

First birds, now dolphins

Larry and I attempted to boogie board in the ocean today (and if anyone can teach us how to boogie board, or at least give us some pointers, I would appreciate it, because we’re clueless.) Our “boogie boarding” consists mostly of just jumping around in the waves, interspersed with getting pummelled by the waves as [...]
