When your daughter and her BFF ask you to take them to NYC, the answer is always YES. Angie was performing in her senior showcase in front of agents and talent scouts, and so Halle and I came to watch her. It was Angie’s first time in the city, and it was so much fun…
We woke up to more blue sky! Hooray!! Rusty, Halle and I walked down to Fruit Ninja for Açaí. Big meh. Then we woke up the boys to get started on our last beach day. We went to Black Rock beach and Rusty had his best snorkel yet—he saw 2 turtles, a white tipped reef…
Whale dayyy–Halle We woke up in the morning to glorious sun and blue sky! Dad went and sat on the beach for a while in the morning and then came to get us so we could all hurry to the beach and soak up the warm sunshine. The beach was right outside our resort and…
This was a LONG, yet beautiful day. The weather wasn’t awesome, which might have worked out a little in our favor, at least for the drive. The road wasn’t too crowded.

I almost got turned away at customs! Apparently, someone else with a similar name was on some kind of watch list, and they had…
Like all great adventures, our trip had to end—but not before some chaos. The night before disembarkation, Simon was barfing nonstop. Meanwhile, Nat and Michael were lying in bed wondering what all the banging noises were. Turns out, it was Jack desperately trying to wake them up for backup. They didn’t budge, assuming it was…
Leo woke up officially a teenager, and what better place to celebrate than Disney’s private island? We were commenting on how fun it is that we often get to see Leo on his birthday–Moab, Steamboat, Copper Mountain, etc. He said, “Yeah…and that has nothing to do with the fact that your Spring Break usually lines…
