My beloved and I celebrate eleven years of marriage today.
I am married to my very best friend. Of all the people in the world, he is the one I want to be with; the one I want to call when something happens to me - good or bad; the one I depend on most in [...]

Phew! It’s been a LONG day for the Chili family. Mrs. Chili is TIRED!
We have pretty much finished our historical tourism. We figured that there’s only so much of that sort of thing that eight and ten year old girls can be expected to enjoy, so we bought the two-day, Key to [...]

*O’Mama left a comment on yesterday’s Ten Things Tuesday, thanking me for bringing you all on a “magical history tour.” I liked that so much, that I swiped it as the title for today’s entry.
Today was an excellent day! We got up earlier than usual so that we could get to Williamsburg to [...]

Mrs. Chili and her brood are on vacation in the Historic Triangle region of the U.S. As a result, we’ve been learning about this nation’s beginnings, so this week’s Ten Things will be of the Early American History variety!
~ Williamsburg was first known as Middle Plantation and was formally established in 1633. It [...]

I love the way we vacation.
Whenever we go anywhere - hell, sometimes I can see it at home because people often come to our neighborhood to vacation - I stand back and watch as other families tear through their vacations: frazzled mothers, impatient fathers and overstimulated kids checking maps, consulting their watches and trying to [...]

We spent Sunday night in Hagerstown, MD, after having a lovely time at Dudley and Squeaky’s. After the girls took a little swim in the morning, we packed up, headed out for a quick breakfast, then were on the road to DC. We ended up taking the blue line in from south of the city, [...]

Today was a good day! We got up at about the same time we usually do on vacation days, which is to say later than we do on school days, but earlier than we do on regular weekends. We headed down to the not-so-great-but-entirely-free breakfast in the hotel lobby, then packed up the [...]

We’re here! And we still love each other!
We left the house at about 10:30, stopped on the Mass Turnpike before the turn off for I-84 to New York for a quick pee break, then were back on the road. We stopped at a McDonald’s in Waterbury, CT (yeah, yeah, I know, McDonald’s - [...]

…TRY!
Yes, that’s right! The great Chili Family Car Vacation Adventure is about to begin. Mr. Chili’s gone to get the rental, Punkin’ and Beanie are doing the last-minute cleaning of their room (yes, I am forcing them to live my obsession), and I’m double-checking the gear and unplugging things we’re not going to [...]

I don’t have much that’s cohesive and intelligent for you today. Don’t you like how that assumes that everything else that I post is cohesive and intelligent? We all know what a leap that is…
Today is the last day of class with my Tuesday/Thursday public speaking class. Joe, my boss, told me [...]
