A Perfect Three Days in the Outer Banks

August 19, 2017 By Graham Wales Leave a Comment

We lived in Kitty Hawk, NC for about two years, and you can’t do much better for a summer vacation spot. We’ve gone back every year since we left, and recently headed down there with my mom for three days to see old friends and re-explore our old haunts. First thing’s first, we headed to the ocean. Kids don’t seem to mind too much that sand is one of the worst

Four Days in Minneapolis/St. Paul with Kids

July 17, 2017 By Graham Wales Leave a Comment

We recently attended a wedding reception in St. Paul and, being inclined to take any excuse to travel we can find, stuck around for a few extra days, through July 4th, to explore what the Twin Cities has to offer. We were very pleasantly surprised. The area has plenty to offer for families with kids of all ages, and is a great place to spend several days. First, I have

Breaking the Rules is Fun in Minneapolis’s Lake Parks

July 17, 2017 By Graham Wales 1 Comment

While in the Twin Cities for a wedding reception, we decided to linger for a few extra days and see the sights. One of those days was filled by exploring Minneapolis’s interconnected lake parks. We loved it. Being that it was Fourth of July weekend, it was incredibly busy. Our plan was to get lunch and rent one of those big quad bikes and ride it around the trails until

The Mall of America in a Day (and a Half)

July 10, 2017 By Graham Wales 1 Comment

When we decided that we were going to Minneapolis for a wedding, the only thing I really knew about the area beforehand was the Mall of America. I remember being astounded by the very concept of an indoor theme park when I first heard about the mall as a kid. You mean, like, there’s roller coasters and swings and games and stuff, but INSIDE? Inside a MALL? *Swoon* I could

A Vaguely Successful Trip to See the Washington, DC Cherry Blossoms 2017

March 18, 2017 By Graham Wales Leave a Comment

Trish and I are big time nature lovers, and DC was offering up the opportunity to catch the blossoming of the elegant, picturesque cherry blossoms fringing the tidal basin. The blooming of the cherry blossoms is well-hyped every year, and with good reason. They’re beautiful. In fact, they’re so popular, the city puts on a festival every year to celebrate the flowers, and the ties between the United States and

Singapore’s Southern Islands in a Day

February 2, 2017 By Graham Wales Leave a Comment

Yesterday we took advantage of an empty day with no rain to explore a couple of islands south of the “mainland”. I had never been to any of these, and Trish had not been in many, many years, so off we went, in search of a nice, quiet area where the kids could roam around and explore at their leisure, but could not escape. Small, open islands fit the bill

An afternoon in Labrador Nature Reserve

January 24, 2017 By Graham Wales 1 Comment

I decided that during our time back here in Singapore, I want to explore a few nature-y places I have yet to visit, and see if hauling the kiddos with me as well is doable/practical/fun. I had the chance recently to check out a sliver of a nature reserve near VivoCity/Sentosa called Labrador Nature Reserve to see what kind of nature I could get myself into. I actually wasn’t expecting too much. Once
