In the city for some soccer, we took advantage of some spare moments to try some new experiences – namely Rise NYC and shopping at many sports stores!

Premier League & Serie A Closer to Home
Many European teams visited the US this summer, and we took advantage of seeing one of O’s favorite players closer to home as Manchester City faced AC Milan in NYC. While City fell 3-2, it was a great 90 minutes of soccer action with some well-known players on the field!
Escape the Chocolate Factory!
It was a full family affair at the local escape room, where a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory-themed room put our wits to the test. We escaped with enough time to spare, and celebrated victory with pizza and ice cream!
A Page County 4th
With Colin’s time at camp ending and the long holiday weekend, we took advantage of traveling to the countryside with another stay at the Cuddly Cub. Before picking up C, we endured a sweaty hike, enjoyed cabin time and visited a few favorite spots. Together, we cooked up some s’mores and lit some newly purchased…
New Adventure in New Orleans
It was a rare kid-free couple of days that brought us to New Orleans! We spent 99% of the time in the French Quarter, eating well, relaxing and trying to sleep while perched above Bourbon Street. It was a quick, but unforgettable visit!
Back at Camp Horizons
In what seemed like a flash, Colin was excited for another stint at Camp Horizons. Drop off day was smooth sailing, hopefully the sign of things to come for the whole camp.
Another Hot Father’s Day
It’s been six years since we sweated it out at Camden Yards for Father’s Day, and we did it again – this time, without the on-field visit. The O’s got a nice win over the Phillies, so braving the heat was ultimately worth it!
Seeing the Soccer GOAT
June 14th brought more than the last day of school, as that night Lionel Messi was in town with Team Argentina to face Guatemala in a friendly match. It was a fun surprise to kick off summer, and Messi didn’t disappoint – scoring 2 of Argentina’s 4 goals and helping lead his team to victory!
End of an era
And just like that, the school year was over! We said goodbye to Glebe, as C moves to middle school. And, O started the year in one school and ended in another. So it was a memorable 10 months for sure!
