Went to a flea market at the cemetery today. When we heard about this we thought, “Cool, a flea market in a cemetery.” Thus we were disappointed to find the market simply running up and down the road outside instead. As flea markets go it was about what you would … Read More
Boat, Books and Grammy
Having fun around here with Grammy the past couple days. During past visits Ouest was never all that involved with her Grammy. She’d hold hands and play on occasion, but this visit has been a complete change. She is all about Grammy now. She’s crawling on her, hugging her completely … Read More
Happiness
After dinner tonight we were walking along the malecon and told Ouest we’d take her to the playground we’d seen on the drive into town earlier. You can’t believe how excited this girl can get over the absolute crap playgrounds that she gets to play on. Running and screaming “Woohoo!” … Read More
Hola Grammy
Spent the last few days computer-less again. Spent way too many hours in the past few months trying to resolve computer issues that would probably have taken an Apple employee an hour with the computer in their hands. I know, I know, first-world problem here, but it is one of … Read More

Oh Glorious Baja

Ha, We Did It!
We survived the night. An easy thrumming of the motor and light breeze kept us chugging right along, nothing else broke, and Ali and I got next to no sleep on a night that if it were just the two of us we would have been hard pressed to stay … Read More
Hungry in Mazatlan
One nice thing about Mazatlan is their bus service. It’s super easy to get anywhere we need to go, and today we needed to go back to the playground. Both of the kids needed the exercise, especially Lowe, who we are having the hardest time finding non-concrete places to crawl … Read More
