Yes, Dear Reader, there is a company that prides itself on customer satisfaction. The Nikon 1AW1 is being repaired/replaced along with the battery which in fact isn’t covered under warranty. My love of Nikon has bloomed and grown again. Here is some amazing footage that the Nikon took before she died.

12+1 Best Travel Apps to Take on Vacation
Comments 2 StandardOne of the great things about blogging is that you can repost someone else’s work. Kirsten, at Kids are a Trip put this great list together of essential apps for travel. I absolutely endorse them all and would make one edition. Tripit. Tripit is a brilliant app. You send all those confirmation emails that you stuff into folders or print out for insurance against missing hotel rooms, rental cars or heaven forbid non-existent flight reservations to Tripit and the app spits back your itinerary. Not only do you get a full itinerary with all of those confirmation codes, but you get gate changes and flight delays (provided there is WiFi) too. I love this app and now couldn’t travel without it.

The Eight Hour Vacation
Leave a comment StandardDear Reader,
today was a day that was supposed to be drudgery, but through kismet and good humor it was just a brilliant day.

Ox-Nard, Oxnard, Oxnard, the name is terrible really. I could see a gaggle of boys calling each other “oxnards” after one of them was caught walking into a wall or talking to a cute girl. The name does not have the glitz of Malibu or the panache of Santa Barbara (the two notable beach towns by which Oxnard is flanked). However, Oxnard is the iconic Southern Californian beach community. Sleepy and with few notable restaurants, Oxnard is what Pacific Palisades, Manhattan Beach and Santa Monica all used to be- mellow and low-key.

Luckliy, the beaches in California are minutes away and almost like traveling.
I disappeared. I know, Dear Reader, it’s true. I did. Honestly, at the end of last summer filled with epic vacations, I think I grew more depressed than my kids at the beginning of school. I know routine is important. I know that school is important. I know that playdates are important. But these things cannot coexist with epic vacations. Continue reading
