Some funky weather caused the DC-area cherry blossoms to peak earlier than expected. But we were able to take the change in stride and schedule a cherry blossom-themed cruise to see the trees at their peak. It was a much more tame experience than fighting the crowds around the Tidal Basin, so something we hope…

Under the Sea
While a definite highlight to a quick Florida trip was breakfast with Mickey and friends, another was a day at SeaWorld! We saw every animal imaginable, and even got to have lunch with sharks swimming next to us – C’s favorite. It was a great day out for sure!
Meeting Mickey!
So, on a long weekend in Orlando, we happened to get reservations for a character breakfast at a Disney hotel. Entitled “Goofy and Friends”, we were a bit unsure who would show up with Goofy – but it was the big two: Mickey and Minnie! It was Colin’s first time meeting the characters, and after…
An Eggcellent Saturday
It wouldn’t be Easter without some egg coloring! This year was just as fun as previous attempts, with buddy Aidan by C’s side. We upgraded the experience with Star Wars stickers, but the coloring part was definitely the highlight. We’re ready for Easter!
Big Gamer
We have a video game lover on our hands, or so we found out through Colin’s first visit to a Dave & Busters. It didn’t matter the subject (cars, battles, fishing, numbers etc.) or the medium (vehicle, ball, fake snow etc.), C wanted to experience it all!
PJ Partay
A PJ-themed party with his best buddies? Colin was in before we even knew about it! There were new toys, racing, pizza, pillowcase and cookie decorating and more – it lived up to his wildest dreams!
Day to Day Fun
While we’re known to have tons of adventure near and far, it’s nice to appreciate the day to day as well. Here are moments big and small of recent weeks… (Don’t worry – he was fine and back to climbing minutes later!)
Howling Good Fun
Another President’s Day weekend, and another trip to Great Wolf Lodge…seems to be becoming a tradition! We avoided some of the coldest temperatures of the season with some good fun in the indoor water park.
Oh What a Snow!
The hype turned into reality with Snowzilla 2016. 30 inches over 30 hours was quite the showing for our area, which pretty much shut down for the weekend. While we got a little stir crazy at times, it was quite the adventure to remember!
