Hubby had to do a half day of work in New Jersey, so he invited me along to play for a few days. For me, New York City is like Las Vegas . . . fun place to visit and experience, but 3 days is enough for this small town girl. During my 3 days [...]

Father’s Day Camping Trip
We went on our first camping trip of the summer . . . it wasn’t a typical camping trip for us - we didn’t do any hiking! But we did get a lot of fishing in, searched for a few geocaches, and saw a bunch of stuff we hadn’t seen because we went to a part [...]
Memorial Day Weekend - Day 3 - Absolutely Horrible
On Memorial Day, we packed up and headed back to Grand Lake once again. The previous day, we saw a flyer that said there was a Small Town Memorial Day Parade at 10:00 a.m. . . . what better way to spend Memorial Day than by watching a parade? We also wanted to drive home [...]
Memorial Day Weekend - Day 1 - A Total Bust
A friend and coworker of mine let us use her cabin up in Tabernash, CO for Memorial Day weekend. We were SOOOO excited! An inexpensive weekend for the fam up in the mountains - what more could we ask for? We got up there later on Friday night because we couldn’t leave until the kiddos [...]
What I Learned Over Spring Break Part III - 03/19/10
I learned that . . .
. . . one night makes all the difference!
. . . sunny warm weather with icy snow on Thursday can turn into cool cloudy weather with awesome powder on Friday.
. . . I will never tire of driving over Wolf Creek Pass, especially if we’re headed to the Hot Springs [...]
What I Learned Over Spring Break Part II - 03/18/10
I learned that . . .
. . . in addition to the size of the hotel room, my kids base the niceness of a hotel on the content of the free continental breakfast. Apparently a hotel rocks if it has one of those cool flipping waffle makers . . . and blueberry muffins.
. . . [...]
What I Learned Over Spring Break Part I - 03/17/10
I learned that . . .
. . . going to my kids’ parent/teacher conferences is a waste of time. They both get great grades, we know their friends, and Hubby and I spend so much time volunteering at school that we know what goes on there. We did enjoy having them show us their work [...]
So We Went To MN
It’s been almost a month, and I’ve almost thawed out enough to write this post.
We decided to go to MN for part of winter break. The plan . . . wake up on Christmas Day, open Santa gifts, get in the car and drive 14 hours to Grandma’s house. Nothing we haven’t done before, right?
So [...]
Clear and Dry
Sooooo, all that stuff about the roads in Nebraska and Iowa being totally nasty . . . um so far, it’s a bunch of crap.
OK, I admit - we did wait a day, and it could have been MUCH worse yesterday - we did see a couple semi-trucks either jack-knifed or tipped on their sides in [...]
