Serendib Travel

Kids and giant bougainvillea. Thought my dad would appreciate this one.

Shopping at the Lincoln Road pedestrian mall, many blocks of stores. Kavi was excited they had a Brandy Melville; I was excited they had a Desigual, Anand was not excited, but tolerated it all with the help of a milkshake, a shady spot to sit in, and his Nintendo switch. I could’ve skipped shopping, but

So, the Miami trip overall was five days, but two of those were basically travel days; we got in early enough for some beach time on the first day, but didn’t try to do any expeditions, and we left at some godawful early hour on the fifth day. Itinerary, in case it’s helpful: a) Staying

The kids needed a place out of the sun while we waited for the rideshare back to our hotel after the graffiti expedition, so I bought a beverage at a local coffeeshop. I couldn’t resist trying the mango ginger moss, but I have to say, people, it tastes weird. The baristas assured me that it

Lunch on the day we went to see the graffiti — we went nearby to The Taco Stand (a chain, but one with good recs). Anand and I agreed the chicken quesadillas were the best ones we’ve ever had — I want the recipe, dangit. Elotes also delicious. Kavi liked her steak taco; I thought

This was an exciting moment — maybe too exciting, from Kavi’s point of view. My first indication that something was amiss was a panicked shout from downstairs: “Mommy! Come here!” I came down to find Kavi jammed into a corner of the little kitchen, Anand on the futon-turned-bed, and right under the stairs, this guy.

Okay, yes, Kavi and I took a lot of beach photos. It was fun. 🙂 These are from the batch we rejected because the lighting was too sharp at midday, but I do like a few of them.
