    2019-07-30 NYC Day 5 – A Girl and Her Limits

    Nothing like trying to remember exactly what life was like 48 hours and 1,241 miles ago, especially when traveling has created a haze around everything. Where was I at again? Oh yeah, New York City. It was a Monday in the year 2019 and I was just a girl traveling with her family and trying…

    2019-07-29 NYC Day 4 – An Afternoon at Coney Island

    Sunday was a day we didn’t book anything and really kind of left open so we could either rest and recover or do something else that folks were in the mood for. For the current crew, this meant a little of both. Two of our four kids really wanted to experience Coney Island while the…

    2019-07-28 NYC Day 3 – Have Subway Ticket Will Travel

    Much like the two previous days, we let the kids sleep in and only really got started with our day when everyone was up and ready. Yesterday was a hot one here in the big city and so after Z and I returned for our walk around the current blocks and reported that that it…

    2019-07-26 NYC Day 1 – Hitting the City Streets

    Yesterday was a great day. We took to the streets and definitely crossed “some things to do and see” off of our list. As is pretty typical for any summer day, the kids did their sleeping in thing which gave Jim and I plenty of time to figure out where we are on the map…

    2019-07-24 NYC Day 0 – The Arrival

    Flying in at night was cool. City lights stretched out as far as the eye could see. I guess that’s what 8.6 million people looks like from the sky. Pretty freaking incredible. *** It’sofficially flipped over past midnight here but the travel all happened on the 24th so I’m sticking with that. We landed at…

    2019-07-24 Wild Wild West…

    Or Wednesday or whatever. I have so freaking much I want to write about. I feel like I stepped out of the car when I arrived home on Sunday and right onto a carnival carousel that doesn’t have a stop button. Round and round I go. I still have thoughts from residency I’d like to…

    2019-06-25 The Colorado Wrap Up

    As I eluded to in my last post, it’s now three days after the day I was writing about and I’ve been home for several days. Life just moves too fast sometimes. On Sunday we woke to more snow falling and though it was beautiful, I was kinda over it and ready to get back…
