WanderKids at Golden Gate Bridge 2009
When I posted about visiting San Francisco for Thanksgiving last year, I showed the photos we’d taken of our boys with the Golden Gate bridge in the background on previous trips.

Belfast makes Frommer’s List of Places To Visit in 2009
This is my alma mater, Queen’s University Belfast (photo credit flickr). I studied at Queen’s from 1988 to 1991, during which time the “Troubles” flared at irregular but still frequent intervals.

Whistler Trip Report Jan 2009
We hadn’t actually planned to go to Whistler for New Year, but the whacky pre-Christmas weather in Seattle meant that by January 30th we had spent most of the previous 10 days rattling around the house and everyone was suffering from cabin fever. WanderDad heroically took the boys sledding and we went for some walks Read the Rest…
