Thru the Western Europe South edge

Went thru Western Europe. After the Dali Museum we dropped off Alana in Italy. We miss giggly, colourful Alana. Now we are only 5. Such a small group. So much less than the 9 we were just a short time ago. We stopped off in Venice. Dad took lots of touristy pictures of the younger [...]

We were supposed to leave on Thursday but one of our start-up batteries decided to announce it’s retirement from active duty. As things seem to go, our truck was surrounded by mechanics at the moment [...]

Yesterday was Lizzy’s 17 birthday. Wow, my little girl. So big. You know she checked our heights this week and she is officially taller than me. Yup! I must be shrinking. I am just so happy with the woman she is becoming. I am excited that she is so beautiful on the inside as well [...]

Mature Travellers

There are some couples that buy their “white plastic” for part-time fun and keep their “bricks and mortar” to come back to. There is this complete [...]

There was a funny chicken that went over the fence. There were naughty boys throwing rocks at it so me and mum and Abi and Liz went to save it. There were different ways for it to run away but finally mum caught it and put it over the fence with the other animals. TJ [...]

Me and my family went to a cool campground near Barcelona, Spain. It had animals and we camped right next to them. There were lots of animals. Like goats, and chickens and horses, and two donkeys, even sheep. I got to feed the animals. Goats like spaghetti. There was also a pool. There was a [...]

The ultimate vending machine

When I saw it I thought ‘It couldn’t be’. As we all gazed at in confusion it all became clear. Yes, this was a HUGE vending machine where you can buy large waters, chocolate multi-packs and other things you find at a store a. This was the second time in my life that I went [...]

A day in Barcelona

I had a great day in Barcelona with Sam, Liz and Abi. We played tourists. We enjoyed some of Gaudi’s architecture and to see how they are coming along on the Sagrada Familia. An amazing surprise was the Picasso museum. We got to walk through his life. They had artwork and sketchbooks and described his [...]
