Nick Saves the Hotel Stay #nickyourstay

Staying in a hotel is highlight for my teen. Sometimes I think that she is more interested in the hotel than in the place we are visiting. She loves it all…the hotel beds, the soaps and shampoos, the large TV near her bed. Our hotel stays were anything but pleasant when she was little. The...

June 14, 2010

With summer approaching, thoughts of water, sand, and sun spring to mind. I was born in Manchester. We spent many rainy, windy days bundled in blankets behind windbreaks sipping hot tea at the “seaside” in Southport. My sister and I would run about on the beach. The sea was miles away. My parents and...
