Where Globe-Trotting meets Beach-Combing
Mutual surprise! We rented a cabin at Naval Air Station Pensacola when my parents visited a few weeks ago. We rode our bikes all over, endured baby tantrums, observed many shore birds, explored, drank coffee on the deck, and were awoken in the middle of the night by baby hands squeezing our faces and exclaiming,…
Our friends, neighbors, coworkers, international travel buddies, and fellow allumni: the Sharps! My parents came to visit just in time to babysit so we could jaunt away to Chris’ squadron Change of Command dinner at Hemmingway’s! Free babysitting! WOOO! THE HAVANA STEAK—I HAD THREE PIECES.

The Florida Panhandle saw more rainfall this summer than any other year on record. We get massive, shivering thunderstorms multiple times daily. Isaac has learned to say, “Oooo! Brrr!” when we hear…
IT WAS SO BAD. The story is, all-American girl Susanna meets some prince—but of course doesn’t know he’s a prince—and he may or may not like her. It doesn’t matter, because he goes back to Made Up Land, where he can’t marry her because she wasn’t born there. He tells her this days after they…
