So, Colin still isn’t loving Santa. But, he is somewhat getting the concept of a visit that equates to presents. So, he was on board to visit his buddy/nemesis for the fourth time since his birth. On the request list? A Hulk smash car and My Little Pony. Should be a good Christmas, indeed!

Breakfast with Trains and Santa
For a special treat, we had breakfast among the trains and Santa Claus as we geared up for the holiday season. While the food left something to be desired, some quality time with the man up North, a train ride through West Baltimore and tons of train toy tables meant a good time all around!
Winter Festival Out West
Winter Festival at Ticonderoga Farms was a great way to spend a morning. There was a hay ride, giant things to jump on and slide down, and even a chance to get a Christmas tree (though we didn’t pick one up that day). We come thoroughly entertained, and worn out!
The Zoo in Lights
Our first holiday entertainment was a trip to Zoo Lights to take in the sights and sounds of the season. Taking advantage of a seasonably warm night, we saw all the exhibits on offer and even took in a few new spots we didn’t make it to last year. It was a fun time that…
A Hershey Halloween
Since one chocolate factory wasn’t enough for C, we hit two in two weeks with a trip to Hershey Park in the Dark. There were rides, trick or treating and even a zoo, making this chocolate-themed experience hard to beat!
Colin’s 3rd Birthday Bash
Colin’s third birthday affair was low-key but tons of fun with the family! We enjoyed the hospitality of Fredrick, MD’s best pizzeria, topped off with some sweet cupcakes and quality time with loved ones. Colin’s favorite part was the whole time!
The Suite Life
We were the lucky guests of Charles Schwab in one of the suites at Nationals Park. We took full advantage of the all-you-can-eat-and-drink set up, plush seating and (relative) space for C to roam as we watched the game. Going back to regular seats will never be the same!
May the Force Be With You(r Bat)
When we found out the Nationals were having a Star Wars day, we were all in. The promise of seeing characters like Darth Vader, plus watch a baseball game – two of Colin’s favorite things – were a no brainer. The Dark Side won, as the Nationals lost 5-0. But, it was an unforgettable day…
Father’s Day Feasting
With so much craziness the day before, Father’s Day was all about relaxing and enjoying the finer things in life – food and booze! A BBQ and beer brunch, gave way to a relaxed afternoon, followed by a Mexican dinner with ice cream for dessert. Not a bad day at all!
