Little House on the Prairie

Up early in Springfield, MN, this morning we gathered ourselves up and went for a stroll around town. Came across a beautiful mural without any hint of graffiti. I don’t know if kids are just this good in Springfield or if they’ve been threatened with death, but it’s working. The … Read More

Porsche Roads

I love this car, and these three people squeezing into it with me. We’ve all been looking forward to this road trip since we first conceived of it back in April. The car had been sitting too long, and we always wanted it out at my mom’s house anyway (because … Read More

A Minnesota Send-Off

Since the State Fair life has been one big letdown. No cheese curds, no corn dogs, no mini-donuts, nothing. We did hang out with friends, go boating at my dad’s house, and spend a long weekend at the lake with Ali’s family—all of which was nice too, I guess. But … Read More

Minnesota State Fair

There are a few things that are quintessentially Minnesota: snow, ice, humidity, mosquitos, and the State Fair. We love the fair, and are always happy when we can time a visit to coincide with it. We’ve been to a lot of fairs on our travels, but none compare to Minnesota’s. … Read More

I mentioned new cameras in the last post. What we got is the Fujifilm X100T. We’re still learning how to set it up and use it, but first impression is that it is exactly what we (or at least I) was looking for. Which is to say that we’ve now … Read More

Family Fix in MN

Back in the States doing normal in-the-states things. Like, I took a picture of a bee on a walk through a nature park. Because, well, nature. Spent a mid-August day with my dad and his wife, bundled up against the cold. We were too wimpy to take the kids out … Read More

Who wouldn’t be happy to be at Grandma and Grandpa’s house? Recently Ouest decided she wanted earrings. I admit, I was in no hurry. I know in Mexico, and in the States too, that it isn’t uncommon to get a girl’s ears pierced practically the day they are born, but … Read More

Another day hanging out in Mexico City. There is so much to see and do here.

Around the City

Reforma Avenue is closed off to traffic on Sundays, turning the insanely busy road into a pedestrian path where it is finally safe to go view some of the cities most well known monuments. Ouest has been wanting to see El Ángel for awhile. It was pretty from the street, … Read More

Time to go. Back to the States for a few weeks, leaving the bus behind. The kids made a bunch of new friends that they got to play with for a few days while we tore the bus apart, fixed a few things, and cleaned every inch. We left it … Read More

Pyramids of Teotihuacan

Last time we were here we thought how much better it would be to arrive first thing in the morning. With our kids, getting up early is not a problem (though either is going to bed early), so we were out the door at seven-thirty to watch the ruins of … Read More

Retracing Our Path

Tie a plastic bin to a skateboard, insert child, and run through a grassy field—what could go wrong? Things got a little gnarly at sunset. Cholula was just a one night stop on our way back to Teotihuacan near Mexico City. We’re flying back to the States for a family … Read More
