The beary big firefighter
This is a bit of a gratuitous post just to take part in Debbie’s Photo Friday on DeliciousBaby. Any excuse to show off even more photos of my kids 🙂 The photo was taken at Melbourne Fire Station in Melbourne, Australia. When we visited in 2000, with some friends and their two sons, I was Read the Rest…
Book Review: Rough Guide Rome DIRECTIONS
Photo: Amazon.com The WanderDad, the kids and I spent four fabulous days in Rome this past June. Going to Rome, showing my kids around and having them enjoy the Eternal City as much as I did the first time I visited there was an important goal for me as I planned this trip. The weather, Read the Rest…
Trip Report: Peru 1998

a theme park in Rome ???
I came across Disneyland in Rome (crazy idea) today on MSNBC. At first I thought it was a joke: I mean, seriously, who would think that Rome needs a theme park ?? There’s so much to see and do in the city already. But, it seems like this is something which is actually being considered. Read the Rest…
A travel accessory every Mom should have…
The KIVA Keychain backpack. My older son is a packrat and a cool stuff, gadget geek. He found this in a local store and just loved the fact that a backpack-sized bag folded up so small. I paid this particular purchase no attention until I was packing for our trip to Italy. Since we were Read the Rest…
