It took 15 months, but we made it back under the deep blue ocean – this time in sunny Negril. With Colin being more than cared for in our absence, we headed 45 minutes from our villa to venture into the coral playgrounds off the Western coast of Jamaica. The water was warm and clear,…

A Jamaican Birthday Sendoff
B turned 29 again (several times over) on the day we sadly had to leave Jamaica. It was such a wonderful trip, that hopefully those good feelings would have lasted enough for a day’s travel back home. With a peaceful morning beach-side and in our beautiful villa, the day started strong. Colin was a perfect…
Jamaica, More Please!
We were lucky to take a vacation in May, heading over international waters to enjoy time in Jamaica. We decided to go the boutique route and rent a villa as part of a small specialty lodging company, the owners of which happen to live about 15 minutes away! Colin was a trooper throughout our travels,…
CT – It’s Just Like Home!
Having traveled to CT several times already, it is definitely become like a second home to Colin. Here’s why it’s just like being in VA…
Mother’s Day – On the Road
Mother’s Day weekend was quite different than last year’s, with a 20-pound baby in tow to make it one to remember. It was an action-packed day, starting with the usual 7 a.m. “go time” in Connecticut, continuing on with a family brunch with the whole gang and then leading to a plane ride back to…
These Strollers Were Made for Walkin’
Cinco de Mayo weekend was about more than margaritas this year. It was time for the Fiesta 5K, a walk (or run if you were so inclined) to benefit the Johns Hopkins Robert Packard Center for ALS Research. It was a beautiful, crisp day to take in some of Baltimore’s most popular neighborhoods, all while…
Home Away from Home
A far cry from the resorts of Abu Dhabi and Dubai, the Hampton Inn Salisbury was our home away from home while we visited Pork in the Park. It happened to be Colin’s first hotel room stay – one of many we hope! We spent only a little time in the room, but C settled…
Pork in the Park!
Though Colin’s experience with solid foods is a mere few weeks old, we needed expose him to BBQ early, since it’ll soon be a go-to food of choice. What better introduction than Pork in the Park, the largest Kansas City Barbecue Society-sanctioned (apparently this is a big deal) competition on the East Coast. While we…
Learning to Love Food
Colin’s been downing bottles like it’s his job (well, we guess that is part of it) and staring at our food when we eat in front of him, so it was time to introduce solid foods. Just like his first bath, it started out okay, but then ended in disaster with all-out crying and real…
