Where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky

We’re back and as I learned on our last holiday, traveling with an eighteen month old boy is not relaxing.
But it is fun.
After a long day to get home, I need a good night’s sleep. But here are a bunch of photos to tide you over.
Many thanks to Agnes, Rassles and Mickey for holding down [...]

America’s just a giant theme park. Put on them mouse ears and get in line.

A Free Family’s vacation continues and so do the guest posts. Today, I’ve got the pleasure of welcoming Mickey from The Prettiest Denny’s Waitress aboard.

Don’t you know you’ll never ever want to turn back

I’ve asked some of my favorite bloggers to hold down the fort while I’m lazing the days away on Kangaroo Island. To kick things off, I’ve got one of the best music bloggers I’ve found – Agnes of It All Started With Carbon Monoxide – to talk to us about vacation music…

Laying round in bed on a Saturday morning

I’m coming to realize this week that holidays (vacations) as I knew them are over. In the past, holidays with Dr. O’C have been leisurely affairs – sleeping late, consuming novels like candy, leisurely walks on the beach, wandering through the ancient cities of Europe, luxurious dinners.

Well, sit right down my wicked son

Well, now that Christmas is over for another 365, A Free Man’s holiday can start in earnest. I’ve got a house near the beach, Dr. O’C, Boy Z, and Timmins, and no work until January 5. I’ve got  five days of test cricket on the TV. It just doesn’t get much better than that.
