After an epic first trip to Ocean City last year, Colin was eager to relive the experience. He was mobile this time around, so had the opportunity to take full advantage of the sights, sounds, tastes and activities the beach destination had to offer.

Summertime Cool
Summertime, and the livin’ is easy…and fun! With a whirlwind tour, spurred by the arrival of Colin’s newest friend – 2-week-old Maren – we caught up with many good friends. Given the near 90-degree heat, and much to C’s delight, there was plenty of pool time during the weekend…
Play Ball (Again)!
Yet another Father’s Day, and another opportunity for some baseball in Baltimore. We made a weekend of it, and had a great time – capped off by an Orioles win and unexpected time with friends!

It’s A Jungle Out There!
A highlight of our trip to Florida was the Sarasota Jungle Gardens. It was more gardens than jungle, but still a lot of fun. The highlight by far was the flamingos, where we got up close and personal. Here’s what we encountered inside…

84 Degrees in February
The family had grand plans of a fantastic – albeit short – cruise from Southern Florida to the Bahamas over President’s Day weekend. But, Winter Storm Pax had other plans, grounding our incoming plane and cancelling our flight (with no option to reschedule that day, or even the next). Determined to feel some of the…
