Like any good Father’s Day with small children, Brian got most of the day off to relax. He enjoyed a massage and got to try his hand at making chocolate truffles – which the rest of his family gladly sampled after his return home. Mix in some BBQ for good measure, and it was a…
A Wild Party
We were one with the animals for a birthday party at Roer’s Zoofari. We explored via bus and on foot and got to feed animals big and small. Here are some of the highlights!
Star Wars + Baseball!
When a Star Wars night coincides with baseball, this family needs to make a trip of it! It was worth the 45-minute ride to see the Bowie Baysox (an Orioles affiliate) take on the Portland Sea Dogs (a Red Sox affiliate), as right when we walked in, we were overtaken with tons of Star Wars…
