We’ve been wavering about whether or not we want to drag the kids to Chichen itza. They’ve seen Coba, Palenque and Tulum and I wasn’t sure that they really needed to be dragged from one ruin to the next in 120F heat. Well, the 120 was a bit of an exaggeration, but with the . . . → Read More: Chichen Itzá

The days seem to run together into a huge blur. Every day I think of something to post but it usually escapes my brain before I get a chance to put it to puter.

The button on our camera which is responsible for taking the picture has taken its own vacation. We made the trek into Cancun to take it to Costco and hopefully exchange it for a new one. Heh heh heh, we crazy Americans. Costco is sending it out to be repaired, but it may take . . . → Read More: Camera Woes

I’m about to get rid of it. Anyone really like it? Ok, the Classic theme is screwy but I haven’t had time to work on it today. Maybe tonight. Maybe tomorrow. All four still awake; we just got home and it is 10:30pm. Ugh.
BUT, I REALLY like Reposado (aged tequilla).
Ok, Classic . . . → Read More: Greenwood Theme

There is actually a website (I’m going to update these links as soon as I stop messing around with the themes) about a family who is full-timing in an RV and calls the website BareNakedFamily. Yesterday, we were literally, bare naked. But alas there are no pictures because the camera is missing its button . . . → Read More: BareNakedFamily

Ok, I’ve got the “theme switcher” installed – look around the page you’re on (unless it is the “shell” background -for the moment – still working on it) and you’ll see either a listing or dropdown box for themes. Pick one (still have to fix the “Warm and Dry” descriptions) but it might be . . . → Read More: Pick your background!

Well, for one thing, I don’t particularly like baseball, but I do like balls and trying to throw it into stuff. And I like trying to hit stuff with bats and stuff but I don’t have a real bat so I need to hit it with thick sticks and stuff. Or a broken hammer. . . . → Read More: Jesse; not to be outdone

I liked Pike’s email to Andrew so much, I decided to post it here. It is so neat to see how they arrange their thoughts and how the express themselves… Plus, my drivel is getting quite boring. I really miss being on the road…

Jamie and I have been going back and forth and back and forth trying to decide what we want to do. The place we’re staying at has very slowly, over the years, morphed from a dive shop and campground to an RV park to now a dive shop/restaurant/cabanas/rooms/RV park. There are many many “permanent” . . . → Read More: In a Quandry

The boys and Sissy have just finished up Chapter 4 of Mark Twain’s “Tom Sawyer”. We have read two of the “Little House” series of books; House in the Big Woods and House on the Prarie (those titles should be pretty close) but Mark Twain has a very distinct style of writing. There is . . . → Read More: Mark Twain
