  • Our Super Trip – Day #6

    Day #1 Day #2 Day #3 Day #4 Day #5 When Foodie Pen Pals Meet I could not get my rear out of bed on Wednesday. The walk with my mother-in-law the night before tired my body.   I did get up in time to get pictures of the sunrise from our balcony instead of…

  • Our Super Trip – Day #5

    Day #1 Day #2 Day #3 Day #4 When Foodie Pen Pals Meet I got up early on Tuesday and took a walk. The sunrise was absolutely gorgeous! So totally worth getting up early to see it. We had decided to go as a family to see the Battery and take our traditional pictures of the…

  • Our Super Trip – Day #4

    Day #1 Day #2 Day #3 When Foodie Pen Pals Meet Monday started with a walk on the beach with Hubby.  I looked like a tacky tourist, as the Wee One would say.  I had on my bathing suit, a cover-up, a thin fabric cardigan, and my photography backpack, and I was carrying around my…

  • Day #1. Day #2 When Foodie Pen Pals Meet Just so you know, we stayed at the beach with my in-laws (mother, father, sister, and brother) and my niece and nephew. On Sunday, I was the first person up so I could see the sunrise.  It was not as spectacular as it was by the…

  • Our Super Trip – Day #2

    Day #1 When Foodie Pen Pals Meet On Saturday morning, we got up early and went down for breakfast. We ended up being early, which made our two sleepy children unhappy. Luckily there was a lobby with couches, so they laid down until breakfast was ready. Before we left Charlottesville, we stopped at Bodo’s Bagels.…

  • Our Super Trip – Day #1

    We just returned from an awesome trip because it lasted for 11 days – 6 of which were at the beach. On the other 5 days, we visited and traveled from one place to another. We listened to the boys say, “I’m bored!” or “What state are we in?” or “Ohio.  Indiana. Missouri,” or “I…

  • During the winter, we decided to go to our favorite beach – Folly Beach, South Carolina. Ideas about where we should go on the way there and the way home were thrown around. We knew we did not want to go to Gatlinburg because we had done that twice before, so it was time for…

  • Today we are leaving for our big vacation. We are traveling to Charlottesville, Va, for the night. Then we are traveling to Charleston, SC, for the week. Then we are on to Atlanta, GA, for 2 days and Huntsville, AL, for a day before heading home. I’m notorious for packing way too much food when…

  • My husband has a cousin, J., who is a vegan.  We went to his handfasting (another new experience for us) a year and a half ago.  The reception afterward featured Indian food (another new experience for us) and vegan cupcakes.  We were pleasantly surprised at how yummy they were. J. and their wife had their first…

  • My Great Uncle Lew was an artist. In the 1970’s, he painted some pictures for a local tavern/hotel. When I went there in 2004, I took a picture of the painting. This post is linked up with Wordless Wednesday at And Miles to Go Before I Sleep.
