Long Island Aquarium
Last week we finally made the short drive out to the Long Island Aquarium and Exhibition Center. What a great place! Ella loved watching all the sea creatures there and even holding a star fish! Of course I expected her to love it, as she really adores all creatures, great and small, and has really … Continue reading
Newport Eaton’s Beach (First Beach): One Day Getaway
I’m reminiscing about our trip to Newport last summer. One of our favorite spots to go to is Easton’s Beach. You can spend the whole day there and not get bored. Where else can you go from playground to carousel to aquarium to café to beach without driving all over creation? We always visit Newport … Continue reading
Caption This! (Plus Travel Tip for Infants)
I’m still in the process of surviving an infant with colic who doesn’t sleep during the day (fortunately he does sleep at night, although he wakes up several times). My post about traveling with colicky infants will have to wait because I have to choose between writing and sleeping and I hardly get any sleep … Continue reading
Travel Tip: Find Fun Anywhere
Of course it’s stressful flying these days. Especially with kids. But if you slow down and take some time to have fun, your kids will be less stressed and better behaved. That’s good for everyone! Like most children, Ella used to be terrified of the loud hand dryers. But now that the noise doesn’t scare … Continue reading
Dreaming of Disney

My newborn is only 3 weeks old and Ella asked if he’s big enough yet to go to Disney…maybe in a few months…. I love … Continue reading

I am partial to their vintage look and will miss the eagle (although the logo is meant to be an eagle’s beak and wings). Here’s the airline’s new look: Kids don’t … Continue reading
Welcome to the newest Cloud Surfing Kid!
Sorry I haven’t posted in a couple of weeks. Here’s the reason: We welcomed our second born, a son, on 1-3-13. John was born at 0808 and weighed 8lbs. 14 oz. Ella is over the moon in love with her little brother. So am I. We are still in rest mode, recovering from the big … Continue reading
Travel Envy
I’ve mentioned before that any time we’re home more than 3 weeks, Ella gets cabin fever and asks to fly somewhere. Since I’m expecting baby #2 any day now, we haven’t flown anywhere since October. We’ve tried to do other fun, local travel trips, like a train ride to a bakery. Small excursions like that … Continue reading
