Since we’re homeschooling the kids (actually the vogue term for what we’re doing is ‘worldschooling’), we’re having them choose books to read on each leg of the journey that are appropriate to the location. As I considered what to offer them for our week crossing the Atlantic Ocean, I, for obvious reasons, quickly discarded the […]
Someone is missing from this picture. Shefler has joined us and we are magnificently seven, but there is still someone missing. And that person’s birthday is today! That’s right, free Slurpie day. You guessed it, it’s Aunt Pei Pei! We think baby Shefler gave her that name at some point, but we’re not sure. Anyway, […]
Hello there, blog readers. I realize you haven’t heard from me since the beginning of this trip. This is not because of a lack of interest in participating in this particular project, but because I’ve frankly been a bit distracted. You see, in addition to being the husband and father in this operation, as the […]
So just left Canada 🙁 and I love it especially the food this article is about how much better Candian fast food chains are than American fast food chains. Just kidding(TRUE), but it is about how delicious canadian fast food chains are. And they are delicious very delicious. Boston Pizza, A&W, White Spot and […]

It’s really that beautiful. As usual, […]
One thing I have been thinking a lot about is trying to live somewhat regular lives as opposed to just being in vacation mode while travelling. This means finding time for work, exercise, play that does not involve sightseeing, and housekeeping. I don’t know about you, but when we are on vacation, healthy eating is […]
As we were packing up to leave our hotel in Seattle, it occurred to me that I might need a passport for the upcoming adventure. A quick trip down to the Seattle passport office reassured me that it would only take 4 hours or so to obtain said document. Just the right amount of time […]
Here I am in front of Mt. Shasta the day Jeremy & I got engaged (May 2003) and then yesterday. Same historic hotel for both visits, but the first time it was the honeymoon suite; this time the family suite. What a difference 16 years makes, eh?
We’ll be setting sail (driving north actually) on Monday morning. We can hardly believe the date is actually here. The rental car is parked outside and we are busy getting rid of our STUFF.
