We had a great mini-vacay over the New Years Weekend with a trip down to the Outer Banks. We went with some friends and had a great time hanging out, enjoying unseasonably warm weather and ringing in the new year.  Here’s a few photo highlights. Sunset at the beach Running at the beach Enjoying...

This past weekend was Homecoming at William & Mary, my alma mater.   Initially, I didn’t have plans to attend, but when I heard a couple of old friends would be returning, I decided to swing down on Sunday for a visit. I went on Sunday because I wanted to see the alumni ultimate frisbee...

Return to Wonderland

We took some time this weekend to go back to Dutch Wonderland.   We went last year around this time to celebrate Sam’s birthday.  This year, we just went because it’s fun. Last year, we stayed at the Amish Country Motel in Bird-In-Hand.   It wasn’t fancy, but it had two rooms, which was key to...

Moms Gone Wild

Don’t we look like some wild and crazy gals? Actually, we’re not all moms, and we were anything but wild, but we just enjoyed a deliciously decadent kid-free, husband-free, dog-free, responsibility-free weekend away in Williamsburg, VA.   We had nice super affordable accommodations, thanks to a great Living Social deal. On Friday, Michelle and I...

A weekend unplugged

For the past so many years, we’ve had a tradition of going away with friends over New Years.  However, with kids and life, things tend to change and our New Years trip has evolved into a “winter weekend”.   For years, our destination was a small cabin in Front Royal, but as our families expanded,...

We spent last week down in Southern Virginia, spending time with the gramps.  The plan was to spend the week with the grandparents, then travel from there to Buggs Island, where we had plans to camp and boat with friends.   This meant we were traveling with Grandad’s boat.  And since we were in the...

It’s hard to believe that we hadn’t been down to visit Grandma & Grandpa since Thanksgiving (!), but we rectified that last weekend with a trip at the beginning of our spring break.  We began our Saturday at our preschool’s Eggstravaganza, and ended the day with the Grands. The weather wasn’t perfect, but we...

A new Little Cabin in the Woods

I’ve mentioned before, that we typically go to a small cabin out near Front Royal over New Years with friends from college.  The good thing about the cabin was it was free, not too far away, and “rustic” enough that it was okay for everyone to bring their 17 dogs (I exaggerate, a tad). ...
