Grandad graciously invited us to join him this Sunday for his Yacht Club’s Annual Power Cruise and Brunch. The plan was travel from the club to the National Harbor by boat, then have brunch at Pienza, an Italian restaurant located in atrium of the Gaylord National Hotel.

We’ve enjoyed a nice weekend with Grandma & Grandpa and I’ll get around to posting the pictures soon. I just wanted to share a little funny anecdote before I forgot. We went to the Grands straight from an Easter Eggstravaganza, so the kids arrived with bags full of candy they were constantly clamoring to...
We had a super duper Christmas. And now that 2010 is bearing down on us, I figured I better get these memories chronicled. Prepare for an overload of photos. This is what the week before Christmas was like … Sunday: we made decorated a gingerbread house. It turned out pretty good! ...

A little ways back, we met up with friends at Great Country Farms for a little strawberry picking. We love GCF. We participate in their CSA and love coming out to the farm for their “pick your own” fields, plus all the other great activities available. To name just a few: the jumping pillow,...
