Pit stops: Mobile, AL and Breaux Bridge, LA

July 17, 2012
Share

Tweet To get through the 16+ hour car journey from Greenville, SC to Houston, TX, we had to make a few pit stops along the way.  Both Max and Turkey were fairly miserable on the first leg, since we shoved off around 5 pm and the nighttime darkness frustrated the toddler and banished the cat […]

Photo session of an almost 2-year-old family

July 13, 2012
Share

Tweet With as many amateur photos as we’ve been taking of our travels so far, I realize that Ang doesn’t show up in most of them since she’s the one usually cognizant enough to grab our Canon G12 and capture these moments. Also, she took a beginner DSLR photography workshop back in January while she […]

Cold plunges, peaches, and pulled pork sandwiches

Tweet IMG_7912 We ended Greenville on a high note — out in nature, amongst gorgeous ravines, tall trees and pork products. Perfect for the Hollicks! On our last free afternoon before leaving Greenville, we took a drive up to Pisgah National Forest, about one hour north on the way up to Asheville, on the advice […]

Miami’s Greatest Hits

July 4, 2012
Share

Tweet Adios, Miami. With an ant infestation, terrible customer service, dreary weather, and oh yeah, a cannibalism attack a few blocks away, Miami may very well have been a total bust if it weren’t for our good friends A.J. and Molly showing us around and helping us out with Max. They’ve lived on Miami Beach […]

The sky is falling!

June 22, 2012

Tweet Remember in our previous Insta-home: Greenville post, we rejoiced at the safe, plush apartment we snagged — in dire contrast to our non-kid-friendly Miami predicament? In fact, I think Mike used the term “non-lethal” to describe our home here in South Carolina. Well, we take that back. We had a Phantom of the Opera […]

The Insta-home Challenge: Greenville, SC

June 17, 2012
Share

Tweet One of the biggest lessons that I’ve learned recently on the road is to keep your expectations in check. For instance, I had never been to Miami before but heard how fun and glamorous it was, and I had never even heard of Greenville. So which do you think I was psyched to visit […]

Fish in the water

June 9, 2012
Share

Tweet Our son is a fish. We always knew he was intrepid in the water, which is why we enrolled him in swim classes at 13-months-old. But Max actually enjoys his time underwater, and we would have never known the extent if our friend Nick Cordileone hadn’t recorded him with his iPhone underwater. Here, he’s […]

Finally, the beach

May 21, 2012

Tweet Things are looking up here in Miami after almost a week of settling pains and overcast skies. Yesterday, the sun played peek-a-boo, so Lisa Swift, Max and I headed to the beach to actually put our feet in the wet sand. It was muggy and glorious. Here’s Max on South Pointe Beach, soaking up […]

Take me out to the basketball game

Tweet This will be a short post, as I am WAY behind on writing about the past 3 weeks of life here on our Orlando leg of the Lion King tour. But today was exciting, as I reconnected with my friend Patrick Ewing. I know him from my days as a broadcaster with the NBA. […]

Let them eat pie!

May 4, 2012
Share

Tweet So we thought we’d be getting away from the food-oriented posts, since leaving everything-is-fried New Orleans. We are halfway through our stay in Orlando and loving it — it’s sunny every day, totally family-friendly with all the theme parks, and man! We are eating so much healthier. Hit the brakes! I confess: last weekend, […]
