Spiders, Scorpians, and Snakes, Oh My!

“I loved the night hike,” were the first words out of my four-year old’s mouth early one morning at the Lodge at Pico Bonito in Honduras. Before he said good morning and before I even knew that he was awake, Finnegan was still talking about the previous night. We spent our first day at Pico Bonito Lodge doing a lot of…

When I was a kid, the two most exotic sounding places to me were Timbuktu and Tasmania. In fact, it was a long time before I knew that these mythical sounding destinations were real; that they were actual places one could visit.

We just returned from a family trip to Sanibel Island, Florida and were completely charmed by the small town feel and natural beauty of this 16-mile long island on the Gulf coast.

Family Adventure at Letchworth State Park

Posted on September 5, 2013 by Jen Curley | 1 Comments

Known as the “Grand Canyon of the East,” we had very high hopes for our visit to Letchworth State Park in Upstate NY over Labor Day Weekend. Jennifer and I have both visited the Grand Canyon in Arizona, but separately, and had very different experiences. Jennifer did it right: she and a couple of friends from college spent a few…
