We set sail this spring break on the high seas for a trip to the eastern Caribbean and back. Within moments of boarding, finding out there was all-you-can-eat ice cream and soda sold Colin from the start. Owen was more impressed with seeing Mickey and friends. Here are a few highlights from being on the…

Bricktastic Hotel Stay
A stay at the Legoland Hotel was an experience all in itself, and our quick weekend there went by in a flash! Not only were there Lego to play with everywhere – including in the room – there were surprises like a treasure hunt in the room, a Master Builder workshop available to guests, fun…
Making up for No GWL This Year
While COVID doused our plans for a trip to Great Wolf Lodge this year, we made up for it with a morning at Legoland Water Park! There were slides and pools and rivers and more – we didn’t want the fun to stop!

He’s prepared each day since the early days of the pandemic by listening to episodes at breakfast and watching shows on the weekend (among his many other interests). Finally, his dream came true just a week after the park opened!…

Getting Wet in Dry Tortugas
We had a family first in the Florida Keys – a seaplane adventure to the Dry Tortugas National Park. We had this little slice of paradise to ourselves for the better part of the morning and enjoyed the stay among the soft sand and coral reefs.
A Ray of Holiday Sunshine
Back at the start of 2021, we had a dream to spend the end of December in the warm sunshine of the Florida Keys. We went for it, and the dream came true! We escaped the cold, dreary DC for a few days of fun in the sun.
Freedom in Fall
While the cats were away, the little mice played (with Nanie and Pop Pop)! A highlight was Summers Farm in Frederick and time in front of the fire!
