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 […]

We are currently in South Padre island, and as you can probably guess we are very close to the ocean. Because the beach is super close Dad bought us two surfboards and a boogie board, and we have gone surfing many times. I started surfing because for a while at the beginning of our trip

We recently went to Mexico with some other full time families. We stayed in the town of San Felipe on the Baja peninsula at a place called Victor’s RV park. We were right on the beach, although unfortunately we were in a bay and thus there were almost no waves. In front of the beach
