The conversation went something like this: Me: “C’mon kids, lets go see some more ruins!” The Chillins: “Noooooo! Not more ruins! We are so done with ruins! Anything but ruins!” Me: “OK then, we are going to an old...
Mexico City: A Day at Kidzania
I have bumped into mentions of Kidzania once or twice on the internet but never knew much about it. I knew it was some place where the kids play and they had locations around the world, but that was...
Zoe Goes To Camp
Zoe went to camp last weekend. In Spanish. And this was not Spanish Camp, this was “local kids go to camp” camp. I was so proud of Zoe that she wanted to do this. We really had no idea...
Paperless Field Trip
I was a parent chaperone on a field trip with Haley’s class when she was in first or second grade. They were studying penguins. I think every kid in America studies penguins; there must be a very strong penguin mob...
Familia
It’s not a difficult question to answer. When people ask “What do you miss the most about the USA?” we always say “Friends and family”, followed by “Red Robin”. The “stuff” we had in the home we lived in...

Cenote #3 – Parque Xca-Ha
We sure are enjoying the exploration of cenotes around here. Just like the Panama beaches, each one has different attributes. It will be impossible to know our favorite until we’ve explored them all, which is also impossible. But for...
Chichen Itza (aka Those Mayans Were Freaky Smart)
We are trying to fit in just a few more field trips before Nanna returns to the Great White North (Alaska) so yesterday we took off for Chichen Itza. The girls and Aunt Kim and I had already experienced one...
Isla Mujeres, our new favorite island
We like islands. We seem to gravitate to them in our travels. We’ve been to Hawaii 4 times, South Padre Island twice, Bocas del Toro 3 times and Isla Iguana 3 times. We went to Cozumel a few weeks...
