We’ve been back a week, so I guess it’s time to start blogging about it. Considering I have over 200 pictures (and those are just the keepers), it’s a little overwhelming. We spent a week in New England – 2 and a half days in New Hampshire and then the rest of the week...
We had another fun camping weekend at “Buggs Island” (aka Kerr Lake, or even more officially John H. Kerr Reservoir). We have been camping and boating here every summer since before we got married. We always stay at the North Bend Park, which is just outside of South Hill, VA and about 4 hours...
I discovered this technique on our return from Grandma & Grandpas – a 4+ hour trip. I fully plan to employ it on our 11+ hour trek to Maine later this summer. Step 1 – Bring (or otherwise procure) pretzel sticks. MUST BE STICKS! No other variety (twists, waffles, etc.) will do. Step 2...
This year, we headed south to spend our July 4th with Grandma & Grandpa. It’s been way too long since we got down there, and the kids were dying to spend some time with them in the country. That, coupled with the long holiday weekend and the fact that it coincides with both of...
Last week was spring break for the local school systems, which meant our preschool(s) were off that week too. We decided to take a short 2 day trip down to Richmond. We stayed with friends Randy & Michelle, and their adorable boy Zach, who is about 6 weeks younger than Adam. On Tuesday, we...
Every year, for the past I-don’t-know-how-many-years, we’ve gotten together with friends at a cabin in Front Royal over New Years. The cabin is owned by a kind family called the Orrisons, who generously share it with our group. I’ve been going to “Orrisons” since I was in college with Randy & Kim and it’s...
For most of our marriage (maybe all?) we have celebrated Thanksgiving with both sets of parents/grandparents. They have taken turns hosting and it is always a great time of fellowship. One of the things Mike & I are so thankful for is having two great sets of parents who like each other and get...
Last week, we took a little mid-week vacation and spent three days at Great Wolf Lodge over the Veterans Day holiday. We left on Monday and spent two nights at the resort/waterpark. Mostly, we had a howling good time, with only a few occasions that made me want to scream. The Room The room...
We just got back from a great week in the Outer Banks. We stayed in Duck, NC, at the very same house we rented on our last visit. I took a ton of pictures (actually, Barrett took most of the good ones, but I’ve borrowed them) and we made a ton of great memories....
Last week, Wendy & Sam got to spend a few days with Grandma & Grandpa at their “country house.” I drove down on Friday to pick them up and snapped just a few pictures. Although they had some rain that kept them inside, they had a great time hanging with grands and enjoying some...
