Our Adventures Through City and Backcountry
Wow! Day 38! Who leaves home for this long?? Crazy. In a way I am 100% ready to be home. I’m ready to cook, weed the yard, catch up on some painting at home. And way more importantly I’m soooo ready to see my friends. I miss my neighbors and other friends so much it […]

Read More Top Ten Favorite GamesFor a day that was decidedly low key, it turned out to be a fun one. I’m not sure that this is worth a whole written-out-in-paragraphs blog post so here are the highlights: 1. As we were once again hanging out by the Kimpton Tideline’s pool I discovered that today was national ice cream day. […]
Read More Cake By The OceanWe all pretty much had the same day, so we’re doing a round robin, each taking a turn saying a sentence. Can you guess who started and the order?? Today we did not do a lot. We sat around by the pool. First, we woke up in the ultra-comfy Kimpton bed after not a great […]
Read More The Boys of SummerWhat a perfect day. It involved nothing more than amazing hotel rooms, fabulous food, fancy drinks, and peaceful pools. A perfect way to celebrate our 14th(!) anniversary. There really isn’t much to write about. We woke up at The Angler’s in South Miami Beach, waded, sunned, and read all morning. Then made our way up […]
Read More Day 36: South Beach/Palm BeachWe are solidly into the vacation phase of RTXVI. In fact, we’re about halfway through it. It’s hard to believe that we’ll be home in just 5 days. I’m really not sure how we’re all going to handle the change! I didn’t blog yesterday because of Kimpton. We spent yesterday afternoon and this morning at […]
Read More Stacy’s MomWe had planning on getting up fairly early to hit the beach, but we must of been too tired from all the water play. Zak, who needs less sleep than the rest of us, was up early and Zoe emailed him to tell him to bring me hot coffee at 9:00. We did good and […]
Read More Day 35: South Miami Beach/The Angler’sI just read Mol’s post and she did a pretty nice job summing on the day so this post will probably be pretty brief. It was a very nice day in south Florida today. Amazing breakfast on the patio overlooking the ocean. Then swimming in the ocean. A Cuban diner for dinner. More swimming, but […]
Read More CaliforniaFor the first time the entire trip, we didn’t set the alarm clock app on our phones. We figured that if anyone needed sleep, this would be the day to get it. We even had a plan in place if the whole family woke before I did, pool for the the girls and Zak until […]
Read More Day 34: South Miami BeachWe made it! We are at the ocean! I’ve actually spent the last 32 days not really looking forward to this part of the trip. Getting to Florida would mean that the hiking part, the nature part, the learning, exploring, discovering would be over. I look forward all school year to connecting with the earth, […]
