On Friday we went to the Wellington Mall. For the most part it’s just like any other descent mall, but they have a really nice play area for younger kids. It’s the kind of play area where everything is a giant object but and kids just climb and jump all over them. This one is [...]
Wednesday began by saying goodbye to Amy. In the morning my mom drove Amy to the airport and she flew back to Washington DC. In the afternoon we visited Sugar Sand Park in Boynton Beach, as we do every year. This place is great for kids. It has a hands-on children’s science explorium, a huge [...]
Tuesday morning we met up with my Uncle and Aunt for brunch at a local deli. Afterward we headed to the beach. We used to go to Boynton Beach, which is logically the closest beach, but several years ago we all agreed that it was worth the extra drive to go to Deerfield Beach. (I [...]
On Sunday Maegan, Darah, and I flew to South Florida to visit my mother in Boynton Beach. Patty did not come with us because her school’s spring break didn’t coincide with the CMS spring break. This was the first time that Darah would be away from Patty, and vice versa. This entire vacation almost didn’t [...]
Two weeks ago the family took a trip to visit my sister in Washington, DC. A bit late, I’m finally blogging about it now. We left early in the morning on Maegan’s birthday, which means that Maegan spent most of her birthday cooped up in the back seat of a car traveling through the Virginia [...]
Here are just some of the many photos we took with our camera from our trip to Sunset Beach, North Carolina. Here’s the direct link to the album and below is an embedded slide show. P.S. I’ll post about our adventures soon. (But I’m going to post-date the stories to the correct dates for when [...]
Today was a short day as we had to check out by 10:00am. We spent a lot of time packing up but we still found the time to take another bike ride (as we had to return the rentals anyway). Before leaving the coast, most of the people staying in the house met for lunch [...]
Today we rented rented three bikes and went for a ride. Darah rode in a seat behind me a la Rerun van Pelt from Peanuts. We rode all the way down to the other and of the island and back again. We would have rode right on the beach but Darah fell asleep so we [...]
Damn tide. After lunch today, Maegan and I took kayaks out with the goal of reaching a distant island in the middle of the marsh. We traveled pretty far and made our way past the other side of the island, but it wasn’t possible for us to reach the island itself. We started to head [...]
Every year my in-laws rent a house right on the Atlantic shore at Sunset Beach, North Carolina. Maegan has gone with them the past several years and she joined them again this past Saturday. Today (Wednesday) Patty, Darah, and I left to join them. After living in North Carolina for the past 11 years, this [...]
