It happens. To some of us, it happens a lot. What do you do when you drop that new digital SLR camera and hear the crunch as it hits the ground? After my Nikon Digital SLR camera slipped out of its case (which I forgot to zip) and hit the floor, the battery door was clearly broken and the lens didn’t turn smoothly. Clearly my warranty wasn’t going to help so I headed to the web to find camera and lens repair options. It turns out the world’s largest camera and video repair facility is located here in Connecticut.

I quickly learned that there are lots of chemicals in sunscreens that act like estrogen.

Family visits at Christmas: UPDATE – Illness, Playtime, Restaurants & Snacks and Packing
January 5th, 2009 · 3 Comments · Destinations, Tips & Tricks
This is what parenting, and traveling with kids is all about. Planning intentions were thrown out the window when Mirielle got really sick the week before we left. I am thankful the worst of her cold was the week before rather than during, but I was left with very little time to work on the Christmas trip.
