Having just returned from Grand Cayman the night before, everyone was pretty wiped for Brian’s birthday. But, that didn’t stop us from eating well in between lounging at home and trying to rest up for the week ahead! We hit up all the standard “B” fare…
Swimming with Rays
The top destination within Grand Cayman is Stingray City. So, naturally, it was a must do on our itinerary. We didn’t time the weather right, as it was pretty cloudy, and eventually rained. But, we were the first among the tourists to be at the infamous Sandbar to meet a bunch of slimy, squishy new…
Turtle Mania
While lounging on the beach (um, more like running around) was fun, we broke things up with a trip to the Grand Cayman Turtle Farm. Here, we got to see turtles large and small – from afar and up close. Here are a few shots capturing our adventure…
Island Living
For the first vacation of 2014 to come in mid-May, we were ready! This time, we took a three-hour flight south to Grand Cayman. We enjoyed a condo on the beach that was smack in the middle of Seven Mile Beach. It had plenty of space to prepare C’s meals, have a comfortable place to…
Glamour Shoot on Mother’s Day
The stars aligned and all Tucker family members were together, dressed well and in relatively good spirits for a photo shoot on Mother’s Day. Originally an idea conceived months before, it was a bit of a miracle to pull it off. Thanks to a talented photographer, we captured some quality family moments on film, made…
PSA for Parents – Watch that Manhole Cover
So, the very unexpected happened after an inspiring 5K walk in Baltimore to support ALS research. Colin – while chasing birds around a fountain at Power Plant Live – tripped and braced his fall on a manhole cover. He screamed out in pain, and it turns out he got second-degree burns on the palms of…
An Inspiring 3.1 Mile Walk
We had an amazing day at the Robert Packard Center for ALS Research’s Fiesta 5K last year, and we were determined to step up our game (maybe not from a race time perspective, more from a fundraising one). Team Big Walt & Mike truly represented, convening about 40 family members and friends all touched by…
A Hoppin’ Easter
Easter was a super action-packed day, and we were blessed with excellent weather! That meant tons of time outside, including an egg hunt with more than 100 candy-filled orbs for only six kids, two of which don’t yet eat candy. There was even a surprise visit from the Easter Bunny, who hopped in and out…
Getting Ready for Easter!
We made one attempt last year to dye eggs for Easter. But, given C was only six months old, he didn’t really know what was going on. Fast forward one year, and it’s a whole new ball game. C was a very active participant in this year’s egg dying experience.
