Heaven on Earth (found in Felton, CA).

It's the simple things in life that sometimes bring the greatest joy. For Theo, it's trains, including Thomas the Tank Engine. If you're a boy bordering on the age of two, how much closer can you get to heaven on earth than actually riding Thomas in real life? (Although, truth be told, the shuttle train ride to and from the parking lot was just as exciting).

Bicycle built for 2

Our first attempt at biking with Theo and the Burley was a whirring success! Riding out to the Water Temple and back, Theo saw trains, planes, automobiles, and snuck in a short nap. Unfortunately, this was followed up by a less than stellar ride across the Dumbarton and back. We have no documentation of that trip, other than the site of our nauseous toddler seared into memory.

To Brooklyn and Beyond

A brief trip out to NYC and Brooklyn in May gave us a small taste of what living there has in store for us. Certainly, Times Square, sunny Prospect Park, and naked Abercrombie models are less than representative of a life there, but one has to stop and think.
