The Mother of All Trips started in June 2008, as my family was preparing to go on a two-week trip to Paris. Really though, it started five years earlier, when my husband Matt and I spent 13 months traveling with our then one-year-old son Tommy. I wrote a book about that experience, and you'll also find that lots of the stories from that time turn up here. Throw in my many dreams of places I'd like to visit, the day trips we often take, and a host of posts about the best places to eat ice cream and you'll find there's a lot to read.

Out and about with kids: More dinos at the natural history museum

I’m going to open this post by being brutally honest. I think it is quite possible that the Delaware Museum of Natural History is the most boring museum in the world. It is not without a few charms, exceptions that prove the rule. There is the giant squid that hangs at the museum’s entrance. Teddy [...]

Big dino, little dino

Little Dino and his cousin Lindsay are in front of the famous T-rex named Sue that stands in the iconic atrium of the Field Museum in Chicago. I don’t know if I’ve mentioned Teddy’s passion for dinosaurs here previously, but it is second only to his passion for little chicks. He was so excited to [...]

Mondays are for dreaming: New York City

This week’s dreaming post has me a little closer to home. Less than three hours away in fact. But sometimes it’s those close-to-home places that get ignored, or if not ignored put off until some other time, “when it’s convenient” (like after the kids go to college). For our family New York City is such [...]
