The Mother of All Trips started in June 2008, as my family was preparing to go on a two-week trip to Paris.

Where in the world is MOAT?

I’m back in Delaware – but not for long! And it’s the quintessential challenge of travel blogging: when you’re traveling a lot, it can be tough to keep up with the writing, especially when you’re spending your days outside in the cold getting lots of exercise. Over this past holiday weekend we were skiing at [...]

Mondays are for dreaming: Off to the Caribbean

This Monday I’m dreaming of something completely different than anything I’ve ever dreamed of before. It’s a dream of flying on a chartered JetBlue plane from New York to the Bahamas and staying at the Atlantis Resort to relax on the beach while Teddy amuses himself in the LEGO room of a brand new (and [...]
