Traveling Without Kids – Whistler – White Water Rafting 2
White Water, White Knuckles I couldn’t tell you the name of our guide. The other guides called him Slovak. He was not from Slovakia, but Slovenia. Naming him ‘Slovak’ is a guy thing. Or a stupid thing. Or maybe both. Like … Continue reading
Traveling Without Kids – Whistler – White Water Rafting.
The Great Rapids Adventure of 2014 My life has been so much richer, so much more amazing (and, ok, confusing) now that I have kids in my life. But sometimes it’s nice to get away. Just the two of us. … Continue reading

The Tour Downtown Once, again, I had completely failed to understand what the boys would find amazing-balls. Ok, I could get that the parliament buildings may be a bit dull. No demonstrations. No fireworks. No arch-villains threatening to destroy it … Continue reading
Traveling With Kids – Victoria – Down Memory Lane
Everything Remains the Same Except When It Doesn’t Victoria is supposed to remain the same. The same as when I was young. The same as when I left. The same as when I did tour a year ago. That’s Victoria. … Continue reading

Traveling With Kids – Victoria – Surviving Coffee Conversations
Coffee With A Friend If the boys have to hear us tell our ‘buying the new house’ story one more time, their eyes may roll completely up into their heads and stay that way. It’s just not something that’s engaging … Continue reading
Traveling With Kids – Victoria
