This afternoon, together with a bunch of friends and family, we headed to the shore. The beach is a all rocks and is at Scot’s Bay on the Bay of Fundy. The tides are huge and as we were getting there it was on it’s way out. It doesn’t take long before there is aContinue reading “Afternoon at the Shore”

Each year the Valley library system here puts on a summer reading club. It is an awesome idea to keep kids reading and gives them some great incentive to do it as well. You sign up for the program and you are given a sheet with different tasks to complete over the summer. As youContinue reading “Library Summer Reading Club”

Welcome Home Surprises
We have made it home! It was an amazing vacation but I’m very thankful to be in my own home, to get clean in my own shower, to sleep in my own bed, and have fast stable internet connection 🙂 No more having the the younger girls share a bed or Jen and I onContinue reading “Welcome Home Surprises”
Day Ten – Last Night on the Road
On day ten we made our way back to Maine to spend one last night in a hotel. Not sure I’m ready for all this fun to end, but I can’t wait for my own bed. There was a lot of driving today but we made a number of stops to beak it up. OurContinue reading “Day Ten – Last Night on the Road”
Day Nine – Starting Home
Vacation is starting to wrap up. We left the awesome B&B and started the drive back home. On the drive we changed up plans. We were going to drive around NYC but changed it up so we went straight through instead. There was certainly a lot more traffic than we were used to but JenContinue reading “Day Nine – Starting Home”
Day Eight – Chesapeake Beach and Fireworks

At some points it came downContinue reading “Day Eight – Chesapeake Beach and Fireworks”
Day Seven – National Zoo

Most importantly they are our navigation systems. Jen is partial to Apple Maps, but I prefer Google Maps, either way theyContinue reading “Day Seven – National Zoo”
Day Six – More Washington
It was calling for rain off and on today so we planned to be indoors for most of it. After rushing through only part of a museum yesterday it was nice to be able to start the day fresh and with lots of time for the Natural History Museum. The museum has so many greatContinue reading “Day Six – More Washington”
Day five – Washington DC
We spent the day exploring some of Washington, so far I really like this city. We pushed the kids again and did a fair amount of walking for some of their little legs. The heat is a bit more than we are used to so that slowed everyone down a bit too. Jen is theContinue reading “Day five – Washington DC”
