I am excited to tell my Maryland – DC – Virginia readers about a special Spring Break offer at the Maryland Medieval Times. I am even MORE excited that my family and I get to spend another exciting evening at Medieval Times dinner theater. Although we were offered tickets for my family, all thoughts…
Sugarloaf Mountain in Fall #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot
My mother-in-law came to visit us last weekend, and we took advantage of the beautiful fall weather and an extra day off school to hike around Sugarloaf Mountain. We made it back with just enough time to eat some dinner before heading out to trick or treat. It was a perfect way to spend…
Biking Along the C&O Canal #WW
My husband began a yearly tradition a few years ago. He spends one weekend in October doing an overnight biking and camping trip with one or more of the kids. This year, he took our 2 youngest kids on the biking adventure along the C&O Canal. While they only biked about 6 miles in…
Brad Paisley Concert #WW
When tickets for the Brad Paisley concert at Jiffy Lube Live in Virginia went on sale on Groupon a few weeks ago, I did something a little out of character. I bought tickets for the entire family. The weather was perfect. The sky was clear. The bands were on fire. We danced and we…
Cousin Power! #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot
Cousin Power! While the kids and I were in Utah this summer, we spent a lot of time with cousins. My mom and dad have 14 grandchildren between the ages of 17 (almost 18) and under a year. Sadly, not all of the grandkids were together at the same time (we had one group…
Seven Peaks Water Park Fun #WW
One of our favorite spots this summer was the water park a block away from my parent’s house. We had so much fun there! I don’t have many pictures because I didn’t bring my camera along, but I wanted to make sure to “memorialize” our time there anyway. And now I’m missing summer… Until…
Museum of Natural Curiosity at Thanksgiving Point #PSF
I’ve put off writing this post, not because I didn’t want to, but because I knew that I would have nearly too much to share. Yes, there may be a slight picture overload, but the Museum of Natural Curiosity was so fantastic and we had so much fun over so many visits that I…
Boating on the Potomac River #WW
We never have been that adventurous…but this summer’s time away has changed that. On Labor Day, after a few hours of thrilling house cleaning, we drove out to the Potomac River and did a little boating. Other than the fact that the air was stale and muggy and hot, the afternoon and evening were…
How to Make the Summer Last #JuicyFruitFunSide
I participated in this sponsored campaign on behalf of One2One Network. All opinions stated are my own. My summer was a whirlwind of excitement – road trips, camping, hiking…cousins, grandparents, new friends. School has officially started, but that doesn’t mean that summer time fun has to come to a complete halt. This weekend’s Labor Day…
Salt Lake City Temple Square #WW
You can’t travel to or through Utah without making a stop at Temple Square. My sister and I took some of the kids to see the Salt Lake Temple and the Church History Museum, which is just across the street from Temple Square. We had a blast! I wish we had had more time…
