{Opinion Piece} Mind Your Own Damn Business
This is an opinion vent post: How many time have you heard in the parks, or even said, "OMG, that kid is what like 8 and is in a stroller?" And then walked away judging that family.

Carson and Courtney had been BEGGING us to visit there since May 2015 when we were last at Legoland and saw them building the hotel.

How Long Will a Chrysler Town & Country Last?
We bought our Chrysler Town and Country Touring in February 2010. At the time we weren't expecting it to be anything more than our family car. It would transport kids to school, football games, band concerts, grandparents house and errands. Fast forward two years and we decide to move to Florida and take on the life of travel photographer, bloggers and online entrepreneurs, … [Read more...]

I did manage to get several of the Holiday Wishes shows photographed as well as the SeaWorld … [Read more...]
