Story best viewed at The Mac Shack.
Saturday night we went to Bucca Di Beppo for an early birthday dinner. Italian food is easily my favorite, and I love the way that Bucca serves everything family style. Veal Parmigiana was the number one item on my hit list, and Jake and I polished off [...]

Now that 2009 is behind us, I thought I would take a few moments to review the year that just passed.
The year started with us off in Africa visiting Erin and her family in Tunisia. The trip began with us flying out of Philly early in the evening on Christmas Day and touching down in [...]

Talk about neglecting my duties as a blogger, I’m noticing I haven’t posted anything since July 8th. I guess it’s not too bad, that’s only 77 days without an update and I’m sure there isn’t too much that’s happened since then.
I really want to update this thing with regularity but I for one reason or [...]

Wednesday night marked Erin’s return from Africa. She’s put on quite a few air miles over the past month coming home to check on Mom. She was home over Mother’s Day, went back home for a few weeks, and she’s going to be staying at Mom’s house over the next few weeks helping Mom get [...]

Abby’s birthday fell on a Tuesday night, and as has been the case with each birthday this year, we weren’t able to celebrate it on the day. Abby had travel soccer tryouts, Jake had a baseball game, and Jean had school, so we ended up staging it over a few nights.
We started on Saturday night, [...]

We normally start our Mother’s Day down in Philadelphia at the Race for the Cure. Following the race we head over to my mom’s house for an extended brunch with a large group of friends and families.
This year things didn’t quite work out for us to get to the race, but we were able to [...]

We spent our second to last day in Africa driving over to the Cape that sits directly across from Tunis. We ended up going with Erin and Dorsey’s friend Cheryl, who we’ve mentioned in the previous entries. It took quite some time for us to reach our destination, but some of the views we saw [...]

We headed over to visit the ancient city of Carthage to check out the ancient ruins. Carthage is a beautiful town located right on the Mediterranean. Many of the views of the city are simply breath taking.
Legend had it that Carthage was founded around 800 BC and became a major city and trading center along [...]

After the somewhat lazy New Year’s Eve from the night before, we took it somewhat easy on New Year’s Day. My mom, Jean, and I headed over to the local town to catch a mass at the Catholic church. It was really a neat experience, watching a mass given by a Polish priest, with [...]

After another slow start to our morning (are you sensing a trend yet?) we were invited over for a Tunisian dinner at Cheryl’s friend Basma’s house. Cheryl is the lady who is in the same program as Dorsey, but she’s been her for 18 months already.
Basma took Cheryl in when she first came to Tunisia, [...]
