Spoiled Rotten

In the past three years, it’s hard to find a time when Tiger has gotten more attention in NJ, then what he just received last week from his aunts and uncle. From eating great meals at Denville Seafood, to Luke’s, to Peter Luger’s, then to the Princeton Communiversity, not only did Tiger receive constant attention, he also had his share of fine foods.

We love having guests around the house as Tiger’s face lights up even more than it usually does. After a week of fun trips to both NYC, PA, and in NJ, our living room becomes quiet (without the sound of Game of Thrones) and mama and dada both agree that we definitely saw Tiger grow-up a bit more this past week. Whether it was the presence of wonderful company, or just Tiger maturing, we both know that almost three and a half years have gone by way too quickly.

Looking for Lobster in All the Right Places

April 6, 2014Good Eats, Laughing, Smiling, Travelingdada

For our second visit to DUMBO (see our first visit here), we were in search of some lobster, but not just any lobster. We needed to go to Luke’s, and when we found it, we ate, we walked, then we ate again.

In the midst of this crazy food run over an hour away from home (I blame the Preggo), we were hoping to also visit the first weekend of Smorgasburg. Seeing that we completely misread the opening (it was across the River today), we conveniently stumbled across a great playground, and an excellent coffee shop. If we get our wish, hopefully we’ll be back in this area, Smorgasburg or not, in a few weeks when our friends come to visit.

Captain Ry-an

One of the coolest parts of the trip actually happened on the way home. With Tiger being a flying veteran, he usually likes to see the captain. This time around, not only did the captain introduce himself to Tiger, but Tiger got to sit in the captain’s chair. To make things even cooler, as we were taking off, Captain Ryan gave a shoutout to Tiger over the main airplane intercom…nice touch, and a nice way to (sky)cap our vacation.

California Adventures – Part II

February 25, 2014Good Eats, Smiling, Travelingdada

Although based off of the pictures I’ve posted it would seem that all we did was eat, rest assure that Tiger had loads of fun. From going to Jump & Jammin’ with his auntie and cousins, to going to the park multiple times in a day, Tiger was busy around the clock (so busy that mommy and daddy got to sneak away to watch Hunger Games!).

More pictures to come…

California Adventures – Part I

February 25, 2014Good Eats, Grandparents, Laughing, Smiling, Travelingdada

This posting is Part I of our wonderful week in California (Feb 8th-16th). From cousin Caleb’s birthday party, to the Long Beach Aquarium, Downtown Disney, Disneyland/California Adventures, Discovery Zone, a random park in Irvine, and to many other things in-between, it’s no wonder I needed to split this into two parts.

“For the first time in forever” (stolen verse from Frozen), Tiger got to hang out with all of his cousins from San Diego and Las Vegas. 5 boys under 5 years old going to Disneyland…that’s an adventure in itself.
