Rhode Island, It’s For Me

Posted on June 21, 2013 by hjones

Jeff and I celebrated our Twenty-fourth wedding anniversary this year. Twenty-four is an odd number. Well, technically it’s even but, it’s NOT twenty-five. It’s kind of like turning twenty years old. Sure it’s a milestone, but there’s still no booze … Continue reading →

That Spirit of Christmas

Posted on January 9, 2013 by hjones

Last Christmas we decided to do something fun with each of  the kids rather than buy a bunch of gifts. We ended up spending a the day traipsing around Boston hemorrhaging cash, but ultimately having a terrific time. You can … Continue reading →

Fly Me To The Moon

Posted on September 30, 2012 by hjones

Griffith Park was not the last delight that we happened upon on totally by accident. As we were making our way to our dinner destination, we spotted an odd figure perched atop the roof of a building.  It wasn’t until … Continue reading →

La La Land

Posted on August 20, 2012 by hjones

Our time at Disneyland was officially over. If there weren’t risk of extreme judgement about my geekdom, I just may have sprung for passes for one more day, but even I know that there are other things of value to … Continue reading →

Love Is A Rose

Posted on August 4, 2012 by hjones

This would be the penultimate day of our California vacation, but sadly, our last day in Disneyland. We spent the morning getting in a couple more attractions at Disney California Adventure, then doing some souvenir shopping for the kids.  Nothing makes … Continue reading →

The Wonderful World of Color

Posted on July 18, 2012 by hjones

I mentioned in a previous post that Disneyland is small, but charming (I’m not just blowing smoke, Disneyland. I think I’ve fallen for you!) and it certainly is, but the biggest advantage of the squished together layout of the parks is … Continue reading →

Take It Easy…

Posted on June 5, 2012 by hjones

For me, nothing compares to World Showcase, but wandering around  New Orleans Square served as a delightful substitute. If only they served real  Mint Julips  instead of the fake ones  I might possibly have stayed there all day. But alas, Disneyland is a dry park … Continue reading →

It’s a Small (But Charming) World After all

Posted on May 31, 2012 by hjones

Truth be told, I really didn’t have much of a desire to go to Disneyland in California. To me, it just seemed like a smaller, less impressive first draft of the Magic Kingdom in Orlando (DLR fans, gasp and clutch … Continue reading →

Downtown, Everything’s Waiting For You

Posted on May 24, 2012 by hjones

This trip just seemed to sneak up on me. Probably because there was not as much planning required as with our Walt Disney World vacations. For Orlando, you have to be on the phone at the crack of dawn 180 … Continue reading →

Two Days In Boston

Posted on March 18, 2012 by hjones

This past Christmas Jeff and I had a hard time figuring out what to get for the kids. When they were little, it was easy to swing through the toy aisle and grab some Legos or Fisher Price toys and … Continue reading →
