When Weather Gets In The Way Of Your Road Trip
If you follow me on twitter (@wandermom) or are one of my Facebook friends, you’ll know that I’m currently home alone. My husband and children packed up our car and headed south for the first great American Road Trip this family has ever really done. The map below shows the planned route with stops – Read the Rest…
Sunset Over Lake Washington
This is why the Pacific Northwest is stunning during the summer months. When the sun shines, we get spectacular sunsets with flaming colors reflected over lakes and mountains. This photo was taken at the marina at Carillon Point in Kirkland, WA looking west towards Seattle and the Olympic Mountains. Enjoy more fun photos at DeliciousBaby. Read the Rest…
Four Tips For Finding Vacation Rental Accommodation
I’m a huge fan of renting vacation properties directly from owners as an economical, affordable and sanity-preserving choice for family vacations. Sanity-preserving because I am a princess with regards to sleep in that I need my eight hours every night, no exceptions and that can be very difficult in a shared hotel room with two Read the Rest…
Seafair Clowns
It’s Seafair weekend in Seattle! Actually, Seafair runs all summer long with neighborhood festivals and fun family and sporting events. The photo above was taken at the Seafair event in my neighborhood which is a Kiddie Parade and street fair. It’s a blast! Have a great Photo Friday.
Summer Family Fun In Seattle
This summer we’ll be in Seattle and I’m looking forward to it. Seattle has a pretty well-deserved bad weather reputation for our damp and dreary Winter (and sometimes Spring and Fall too), but in the summer we have lazy, hazy days with the sun glistening off the waters of the lakes and the Puget Sound.

You can be in a remote town in Mexico, way off the beaten tourist path and there it is, right in front of you: a Guinness sign with the signature address from your home town and the iconic Irish harp logo. As my brother-in-law (who took this photo) said: “You just can’t get away from Read the Rest…
Reading on Vacation
Earlier this week, I wrote about our stay in Akumal, Mexico in 2006. This photo was taken one evening on that trip while I was reading aloud to BigB – I think we were reading from a chapter book from the Secrets of Droon series. I love how the colorful tile in our apartment stands Read the Rest…
Akumal Mexico With Kids
Akumal Mexico is one of my all-time favorite destinations for a family vacation. This is one of my favorite photos from our travels. It was taken in Akumal, Mexico in 2006. (Check out the bear in CAM’s arm – that bear truly has traveled more than most adults!) Akumal is a tiny pueblo between Playa Read the Rest…
Four Days To Pandemic
That, folks, is a picture of the H1N1 influenza virus – just in case you were wondering what it looks like. Barely a week ago, I hadn’t heard of the so-called Swine Flu and was happy in my ignorance. Since then, I’ve visited my sister and her beautiful new baby; juggled work, kids and travel Read the Rest…
In-Motion Geography Class in Mexico
Last weekend, we visited the Lake Chapala area of Mexico. The focus of our trip was to assist with a family matter and since we were only in the country for four days, our general plan was to hang out with family while the kids played in the pool. We knew that we’d have a Read the Rest…
