Traveling with so many people, there were only a handful of times where we all wanted to do the same thing and could get our schedules to match. One of those times was in Central Park. I get a little smitten with the view from Central Park. Just all that beautiful cheerful green surrounded by…
These are just some shots from around the city on our second day. I’ll be posting more from Central Park and the 9/11 Memorial in their own post. Because then it’s just too many pictures in one blog entry, and you’d be scrolling for days. Ain’t nobody got time for that. One of my favorite…
Don’t worry, Gadoo had a fantastic cat-sitter. And I’m sure he was happy to have a break from defending his life against the 2 year old. Our trip started with a red eye flight into Newark and we finally arrived in the actual New York City around 7am. Which is 4am California time! You betta…
The weeks leading up to our trip to New York were filled with dread and second thoughts and what the hell are we thinking?!? Every time Paul and I talked about it, we’d look at each other with true, deep fear in our eyes and debate calling the whole thing off. New York frickin’ City.…
I am always excited to learn about local adventures that are suitable for kids. So I was pumped to find a website called Red Tricycle. I signed up to receive the weekly newsletter especially for the Los Angeles area, (they also have one for New York, Atlanta, Chicago, San Francisco, etc) and it’s chalk full…
I have been feeling pretty burned out. For awhile. No matter how many adventures Stevie and I had, or how many friends I entertained, or how many summer adventures were planned, all I can think about lately is how tired I am. And how much I want to cancel every therapy and appointment and just…
Nestled in the hills of Griffith Park, there are quite a few hidden treasures. So many areas we still haven’t explored, probably because I always return to the old favorites. Like this vintage wooden carousel. We’ve seen it many times, driven by countless amounts. But the dang thing always seems to be closed. So this…
As you already know, my brother and sister and nephew came to visit over the long weekend. And I think that concludes the list of visitors at Peltekian B&B – for now. Having so many people here the last month just makes me want a much bigger house. A house where people don’t have to…
Um, is summer flying by for anyone else? Because I’m having a hard time believing that we’re headed into the second week of July. (!!) It’s been a busy summer for sure. Lots of visitors and activities. But I can’t help but long for the more carefree, easy flowing summer days. I’m here on a…
My brother, sister and nephew are here! The holiday started out slow, ended with a bang <— see what I did there? Most of the morning was spent testing out ways to wear our bandannas. Then a delightful BBQ at a friends’ house – complete with burgers, pulled pork, a pool for the kiddos, and…
