Live from the Premier League

The family has become a bit more soccer (football) obsessed thanks to O, and what better way to take in the game than in a Premier League stadium – West Ham to be exact. We caught the Europa League Round of 16, where the Irons had a commanding 5-0 win over Germany’s Freiburg. It was…

DC United!

The family was psyched to be part of DC United’s home opener, having had some initial exposure to MLS soccer the summer before. It was a convincing 3-1 win over the New England Revolution and made for a chilly, but great night out!

Back with the Wolf

We headed back to Great Wolf Williamsburg after a deviation to Maryland and ten years following our first visit. It was a lot more MagiQuest and a little less water park, but no less fun than years’ prior!

Last Bit of Holiday Magic

On the last day possible, we soaked up some holiday magic at Meadowlark Winter Walk of Lights. It was a bright spot in one of the dreariest months of the year for sure and a tradition we’ve come to truly enjoy! With warm coats and hot chocolate, we set out to see it all!

Winter Ball

Activities thankfully move indoors during the winter, with basketball and soccer clinics keeping the kids busy during the weekends…

Bahama Mama (and Dad and Kids)

After a few short weeks at home, we escaped the cold once again and were treated to a lovely weekend in Nassau, Bahamas – with plenty of sun and warmth (a far cry from 50-degree colder weather and snow when we landed). We enjoyed Baha Mar’s water park and pools every day, and ate great….

En Mexico (Otra Vez)

For the second day in a row, we found ourselves in Mexico – this time the port of Costa Maya. We took the hourlong ride to the Mayan ruins of Chacchoben where we explored three different temples across a village only open to the public for about 20 years.

Cozumel 20+ Years Later

The Tuckers’ first trip to Cozumel was quite a different experience, with only half the family around – well before marriage and kids in sight. This time the weather was a bit gloomy and chilly but that didn’t stop the boys from getting in the pool and ocean and everyone enjoying a day at the…

Back for More Cruising!

We didn’t get enough, so we came back for a little more Disney Cruise action over the New Years break. This time we flew out of Texas, making the flight extra important, but luckily it was smooth flying before some not-so-smooth sailing. But the latter half of the trip evened out and we had a…
