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 MD 4th

What started out rainy, ended as a beautiful Fourth of July. There was swimming and four wheeling and grilling and firing up some s’mores. What more could we have asked for in the MD countryside?!

Despite being established for years, the National Harbor was a destination we had yet to visit. We had heard good things – plus found out about a few free holiday-themed activities – so figured it was time to see what this place was all about. With bright lights, a wandering Santa, a huge fountain show…

Taking advantage of unseasonably warm weather, we enjoyed at night out at the zoo for Zoolights. We took in all the twinkling lights we could handle, plus some indoor exhibits filled with reptiles, apes and more. And did we mention there was a carousel? Sounds like C’s perfect night out.

A Second 4th

Like last year, Colin was on the move for his second Fourth of July. This time it was up to Williamsport for some Tucker family fun. Motorized vehicles, pool and fire – a holiday in the country! This is how C rolls…

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…
