River Rats
The morning was cool and grey. It was still dreary and raining a fine spritz. We grabbed some breakfast and then had to make the decision: do we just go to the gym & pool or do we try to head down to the River Walk? Seeing that it might be some time before Matt … Continue reading

I neglected to mention the absolutely fascinating phenomenon that we witnessed while at Aquatica the other day. I looked up at the sky and there was a cloud around the sun that had a circumferential rainbow. I have never seen anything like it before. The fact that it was relatively early in the morning when … Continue reading

Alice Thomas and Don have been friends since Don was 11 years old and Alice was 10. Their friendship has endured through … Continue reading

However, it was chilly this morning. OK, chilly by Florida’s standards (I know I’m not getting any sympathy from those of you who experienced the “wintery mix” yesterday). It was 53 degrees this morning … Continue reading
Sea-ing the World Through the Eyes of a Child
Back in February when we informed Damian that we would be taking him to Florida for Spring Break we gave him a choice of where he wanted to visit. We offered him Disney World, Universal Studios or Sea World. He opted for Sea World. I have no plans to defend or prosecute Sea World. I … Continue reading

After our never-ending car journey on Saturday, we needed a day just to recharge our batteries. So, bright and early the next morning Don & I dropped Matt and Damian off … Continue reading
Going My Way?
A typical Carmageddon road trip is one that allows for meanderings and wanderings at a relaxed pace. This provides for optimum visual and gustatory experiences and a sense of relaxed well-being. OK, so this trip was different. Perhaps it was due to the fact that all of the continental United States is on Spring … Continue reading
Happy St. Paddy’s Day!
In honor of St. Patrick’s Day I decided to visit the archives of my pre-Carmageddon days and pull out some photos from our trip to Ireland in 2009. Now, I will regale you with a story from our trip. When we arrived in Ireland we were staying in the quaint … Continue reading
Almost Spring Cleaning
As we inch ever so closer to actual Spring and it’s accompanying Spring Break, I decided it was time to do some Spring cleaning on the old Carmegeddon blog. Allow me to present Carmegeddon 2.0 with all the things you love about the old site in a fresh, new package. I’ve moved the site from … Continue reading
Time Well Spent
It is hard to believe that Michael is now 14. We have a teenage GRANDSON. When did we get this old? We certainly don’t feel this old. Don flying down the mountain on a tube didn’t feel this old. Becky & I in the ski lounge at 1 pm drinking hot toddies didn’t feel this … Continue reading
