For food, there’s a nice little kitchen with all the basics you need (no microwave) for cooking indoors. There are various snack-y / tea & coffee type things inside for purchase at reasonable prices, and you can also order a provisions box in advance for another $30 or so, which gets you a few meals’ […]

So if you’re just going as an adult (or two adults), you get a queen size bed with a huge window view of the woods. If you want a second queen size bed, it’s lofted into the same space, which actually worked fine for us. The kids had a lot of fun being up in

Jed just posted a bunch of photos from our WorldCon trip to Dublin, including several of me I hadn’t seen before. I think the rainbow scarf one is my favorite. My mother-in-law asked me yesterday what I wanted for Christmas, and all I want right now is travel. SIGH. Once I get vaccinated, will they
It was really lovely being at Lake Street beach in Gary with the kids. The weather was perfect, the water was perfect (a little cool, but fine once you were in, and gentle rolling waves that made it easy to practice swimming), the kids were so happy. My only complaint is that it’s an hour
