We recently rented a narrowboat to travel England and Wales via the canals. We traversed the canals for two weeks and I have some fun stories to tell about our time. For those who don’t know how the locks work, here is a short summary: We open the paddles (the things that let the water […]
We recently went to the WB studio’s Harry Potter exhibit where they filmed and prepared all 8 movies. On the bus ride there (the bus was a double decker bus!) we watched thrilling scenes from the movies and some upcoming movie trailers on the in-bus television as well as hearing about WB studios!!!

On our great cruise across the Atlantic we had dinner in the Britannia restaurant almost every night. The restaurant was different than others we had been to, which was to be expected because we were on a cruise. It was also quite a bit fancier than anything Jack and I had attended before. The first

We have been to several forts, visited special trees, had delicious ice tea and ice cream, relaxed on the beach, ate Cajun food, spent time with old friends and made new ones. Jack and I divided up our recent activities and each

The snorkeling in Puerto Rico, in our experience, has been great. We’ve seen so many different types of fish! Some of the fish we have seen have been shinny and blue. I’m not sure what the specific name of that certain type of fish is but there were a bunch of them and they were
For one of Jack’s Christmas presents, we went to an escape room. The escape room’s theme was Pirates of Tortuga. We started out in a jail cell with skeletons and 60 minutes to try and escape (there was also a fake parrot who spouted gibberish whenever it could). The key to the cell was in
While we are in South Padre Island, Jack and I have been attending Jiu Jitsu classes and having lots of fun. At the start of class, we warm up and stretch so we are nice and loose for practice. One of the first moves we learned was the scissor sweep. It starts with someone putting
