Cozy nights, deep breaths, warm hugs and family and loved ones near.  Wyatt says happy holidays too. He is so obedient, even when […]

Well, the past six weeks or so since we’ve been home have been filled with family and friends and school and work and regular life. All good things. It has also been filled with sad tears from kids missing Thailand, feeling so grateful for opportunities to experience cool new things together as a family, some […]

I knew the second I arrived, I would reserve an entire blog post for this place.  Patara Elephant Farm!!!! Last spring when we started planning this trip, a friend was traveling Asia.
