C has definitely turned into a Lego fan, so hitting up Legoland when we were nearby was a no brainer! We spent A LOT of time at the Star Wars miniature exhibit, but also got to enjoy rides, shows and even a stroll in a giant nature reserve onsite. It was an exhausting, but fun…

New Year in the Sun
We were in for a treat this New Years, as we traveled to Florida for a little sun, sand and Legos (more on the latter later). Not even 10 minutes at the condo, we were (or really C was) in the water before saying goodbye to 2015. New Years Day was just as warm, so…
1st Christmas…of 2015
Maryland was first on the docket for Christmas celebrations this year, and it set the bar high. Unlimited carbs, sweets and (what seemed like) presents, it didn’t disappoint. It was also the debut of the new Tucker drone…apparently a must have for the modern family. The fun didn’t stop as many of the crew was…
Santa, Baby!
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!
Two Different Winter Weekends
Right before the holiday rush, the family was split up celebrating two very different winter weekends. Colin enjoyed some country living for a few days, while mom and dad headed West for Allie and Preston’s Colorado wedding. Both were amazing, yet diverse ways to spend time out and about. While Colin roamed outside enjoying 60-degree…
Trimming the Tree
It was drama-free getting and decorating this year’s Christmas tree, and we couldn’t have been happier! Colin was into making his creative mark, and the end result was a well-dressed Balsam fir! Merry Christmas! P.S. This was our 450th post!
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…
