While October always brings tons of fun, it’s even better to make the most of a weekday birthday! This year, both boys celebrated midweek birthdays. And we did our best to make them special days that broke from the routine!

Fall Festival Pros
The more you hit up a place, the more you learn how to maximize your fun. We did just that with another trip to Cox Farms. All in all, it was our seventh trip. We hit all our highlights in record time and made the most out of our fall fair day with cousins!
Vineyard Round Up
There were so many adventures during a week on the Vineyard; here’s a roundup of everything we didn’t already cover!
MV Beach Day
It’s not a trip to Martha’s Vineyard without a visit to the beach. We had an exciting one, with breakfast at the airport, wave riding, a shark sighting and all the sun we could take in. South Beach never disappoints!
Fishing Expedition
In a family first, we ventured out on the Skipper for a fishing expedition in the waters around Martha’s Vineyard. We faced a little rain but that didn’t stop the excitement of reeling in a big one. Everyone had the chance to catch a “keeper”, helping others eat a fish feast that evening!
Up Island
With friends in tow, we saw some of the best parts of Up Island on the Vineyard, including Aquinnah for some views and lighthouse climbing, and Menemsha Hills for a 3-mile hike to the beach and back. Needless to say, we wore the kids out after a couple of days!
A Star Wars Milestone Bday Celebration
Happy 50th to Brian! To celebrate, we went all out with a VIP Tour of Hollywood Studios – and in particular Galaxy’s Edge – after getting off our cruise ship for the week. We saw every inch of Batuu, rode all the rides and then some, and got to experience the Disney magic one final…
Disney in the Caribbean
Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay, was the final stop in our eastern Caribbean cruise. Chilly sea water and water slides dominated our short stay, but it was a memorable one!
A Tiny Taste of the BVI
Our first taste of the BVI was a little more condensed than expected, as our boat tour to little islands around the main island was cancelled due to weather. That didn’t deter from a great visit though, with a fun speedboat transfer to Cane Garden Bay Beach and a lovely time enjoying the area.
