After the whirlwind known as the end of the school year, which included field trips, field days, and award ceremonies, we zipped away to Europe to visit with the DH's side of the family.

Spring Break 2017
The kids were on Spring Break last week, so we headed to Destin, FL, for a few days of rest and relaxation. Most of our time was spent at the indoor pool watching the kids frolic in the water.

Christmas in Nassau
We spent Christmas Eve thru New Year's Eve with my parents and brother in Nassau. It's been a while since I'd been home and the kids were starting to forget details from our 2014 visit when they were only 6 and 5, so it was well overdue. We arrived Saturday evening and spent it with… Continue reading Christmas in Nassau

Why Travel Is So Important To Us
Right before we left for Memphis this past weekend, an acquaintance asked, "Where are y'all off to this weekend?" Of course I gave her the short answer, but it reminded me of a promise the DH and I made to each other when we decided to start a family. I've written before about the challenges… Continue reading Why Travel Is So Important To Us
Romantic Chicago Weekend
My darling husband took me to Chicago last weekend for a little romantic getaway. He'd travelled there on business the year before and told me I had to see it for myself. We arrived Saturday afternoon and were picked up by a personal driver. Swanky! After checking in, we walked around downtown Chicago looking for a quaint eatery.… Continue reading Romantic Chicago Weekend
Wild Kratts
Over President's Day weekend, the fam and I hightailed it to Jacksonville, FL, to see Wild Kratts live. It was a bit of a trek, but we missed them last year when they were in Atlanta. And since the kids are HUGE fans (see a recap of Stinky's 7th birthday party theme here), it was… Continue reading Wild Kratts
