This summer Moomin took two long trips with his dad, one to Korea where they went to Jeju island and Seoul to visit relatives, and another to upstate New York to Lake George. Moomin got to see manatees at the … finish reading Manatees and ponies in Seoul
The Great Escape
We’re in the jungles of Florida! We keep ending up at tiki bars, eating slightly disgusting fried things. I had a piece of gator tail. On day 1, we stayed in Minneola, a tiny town right next to a lake … finish reading The Great Escape
Visit to the manatees
We’re on our way to Florida to kayak with manatees. I tried to plan a trip that would be very easy for me to handle as a solo parent, but that would be something Moomin wants to do, like his … finish reading Visit to the manatees

red hot motormouths in the red velvet buick
Breakfast again you-know-where on 3rd and Congress. Today they brought me coffee right away, with cream, without my asking.
