Action Jackson’s 2nd day in Singapore

With our newly self-proclaimed Singapore Expert Status (we did walk around for a day and see one museum- obviously that equates to expert level genius) we decided to ask around to find out what we should do the second day. We were told by another family the Botanic Gardens were worth checking out – especially […]

Action Jackson and Day 1 in Singapore

We awoke (too early) on our first day in Singapore. But we know the drill: try to convert to your new time zone as quickly as possible or sleep at the wrong times at your own peril. So we dragged ourselves to the delightfully enormous breakfast buffet at the Westin hotel. The buffet was really […]

Action Jackson and the trip to Southeast Asia

Greetings from Singapore! I realize if I were a normal (sane) person I would do this communication sharing on Facebook or Instagram or some other social media. But while I am social, I do not have the medias. Also because I thought you might like to join us (virtually) on our EPIC trip to Singapore […]

Action Jackson and Mama’s DC trip!

A few days ago AJ told me “I’m glad you’re going away: you’re always home and Daddy goes away. Now we’ll get some boys’ time!” And I thought, okay, good, no worries. Then last night at bedtime he freaked and was sobbing “No, I don’t want boys’ time, I want whole family time, with all […]

Faces at Tartine

“Let’s just go to the front if the line and ask if we can look at the pastries so I know if they have brownies.”

Is pretty great on a sunny Saturday. (DJ included of course)

Do the time warp

We’re going to do a skip ahead here to Action Jackson’s European Vacation, Part Deux. We headed to Copenhagen on Saturday for a visit with Kirsten’s friend Malene and her family Martin, Calle and Rose. As you can see, Jackson and Calle both think the Lego iPhone app is cool. Calle and Rose are 12 and […]

Paris, day 7

Today was another museum day. I have long been a fan of le Centre Pompidou and I thought AJ might also enjoy the “inside out” art museum that it is. Michele metroed over to the museum with us and gave us the magic membership card that allows for free entry. It was nice to get […]

Paris, day 6

As is probably easy to see in many of my photos, we’ve pretty much had rain on every day of our trip. Usually not all day, but at least part of the day has been wet. It goes with the territory when you travel in spring. (It’s also why the whole family got new waterproof […]

Paris, day 5

Today was a very important day. After almost two weeks of it being just the two of us, this was the day Mike arrived! We attempted to get up and get ready early, failed, but Mike thoughtfully was on a delayed plane, so we had time to run to the bakery for more chocolate croissants and other […]
