Today we were reminiscing about this amazing spot

Today we were reminiscing about this amazing spot in Italy that we visited before our kids were born, and Triton reminded me that soon we could do this again because the kids will have flown the nest. Yikes! We’ve spent so many years traveling the globe with our kids in tow, and soon both will be off at colllege and not able to travel.

Maybe we’ll revisit places like this wonderful old abbey in Orvieto, now converted into a luxury hotel called La Badia. We took our parents to Italy and visited Orvieto, Venice, Florence, Rome and Sicily. Then we came back to Orvieto with the kids a few years later for another visit because this little Umbrian hilltop village is just so charming. And the wine. The wine from this area of Italy is superb - we still buy bottles of Trebbiano from Orvieto whenever we can. After all, they’ve been making it there since the Middle Ages. I think they’ve got it down by now!

Summer may be waning, but here in San Diego it practically lasts all year long! #sponsored We love holding on to the things that make summer so special and extending them for as long as we can. Spending time relaxing outside on our deck, heading to the beach for a sweet sunset and a chance to see the green flash, and enjoying foods that just taste like summer. And Clam Shack Nation is bringing us the tastes of summer all year long with their delicious seafood soups delivered right to our door. The authentic taste of New England Clam Chowder is delicious any time of year - summer or not!

And right now, one lucky entry will win a Clam Shack Nation box full of goodies valued at more than $100, just like the ones shown here in our post! Our family unpacked our delivery and were amazed at all the cool stuff in our prize box. Of course, the four soups from @clamshacknation were the stars: New England Clam Chowder (a family fav); Shrimp & Corn Chowder; Lobster Bisque; and Gumbo with sausage, chicken and shrimp. The soups arrived chilled, packed in airtight containers, and ready to heat and serve! Our family LOVES these soups and gobbled them all up immediately.

Making The Best of It/Chapter 417: The Whale Watch

Making The Best of It/Chapter 417: The Whale Watching Tour with No Whales. How is it possible for a family to go whale watching in the globally recognized Whale Watching Capital of the World and see no whales??!!? Well, we made the best of this beautiful sunny day in Dana Point recently, despite our best efforts to spot a whale. There were plenty of dolphins though, including babies. They followed our boat, jumping and playing in the waves we were making. Sometimes things just do as expected, and you just have to go with the flow. We still had a great time! How many times have you had a similar situation on a trip somewhere? Share your stories in the comments!

#sponsored We’ve never been on a cruise, and if we take one it will likely be on Windstar Cruises because they offer private yacht style cruises with just 148 to 342 guests and a more intimate experience. Plus sailing and all-suite yachts! And now we all have a chance to win one!
To celebrate a return to cruising, @WindstarCruises is hosting a fun Treasure Hunt that gives a lucky winner the chance to win the cruise of a lifetime on a Windstar yacht AND find an even bigger prize! Watch all 11 clue videos to collect numbers, letters, or symbols that will add up to a Google Plus code. That code enters you and a buddy to win the cruise to find the big surprise prize on top of that! To get a head start we’ve hidden the ‘Destinations’ clue in this post (hint: it’s super obvious).
Entry details here: windstarcrusies.com/treasurehunt
There are so many cool destinations around the globe that Windstar Cruises visit. We saw one of their yachts from our hotel on Italy’s Amalfi Coast several years ago, and since then, have dreamed of returning to Italy and viewing the coast from the deck of a Windstar sailing vessel. Maybe now’s our chance? Good luck to us all! #Windstar180TreasureHunt

In any family, the sheer volume of medical bills c

In any family, the sheer volume of medical bills can be astounding, what with regular check-ups, dentists, specialists and more. #ad In my case it was literally overwhelming while managing my dad’s illness and endless stream of medical treatments. Poor guy, there was a lot going on towards the end. I wish I had known about @gethealthlock then, because this service is a game changer. HealthLock digitally collects and collates all medical bills in one place and organizes them. On top of that, the service audits all these bills for potential overcharges and then for a small fee helps return that money to me. The company has already saved clients more than $100 million in medical expenses!

I also like knowing that HealthLock is monitoring my privacy to protect me from data breaches. With more than 40 million patient records breached in the last 12 months alone, this is a serious concern.

Right now HealthLock is offering their Essentials product for FREE—no credit card required. Go to healthlock.com now to sign up—and use promo code “JON” to save 15% if you decide to upgrade your membership later. #healthlocked

Being goofy in Monterey. Yes this was a few years

Being goofy in Monterey. Yes this was a few years ago. And yes, the view of the Monterey County coastline is far more beautiful than we are in this photo. But hey, it did make our kids laugh! Whatever it takes, people. Whatever it takes.
