After making a delicious breakfast in the condo of eggs, bacon and pancakes for the family, we all relaxed on the balcony and watched the kiddos play. Dan bought Parker some Snap-its that pop on the ground, so they had fun popping them all over the patio while I finished up my coffee, and Mason [...]

We decided to have some fun at the outlet mall today. Destin Commons is great, and it has a wonderful children’s area there with a soft play area outside, and a sprayground for the kiddos. They have some nice restaurants and shops and it is a great place to walk around. We decided to let [...]
Destin Vaca: Day One- Soaking in the Sun and Sea
Posted in Family, Happy Times, Photography, Travel on 05/20/2012 | 2 Comments »
We decided to take it easy on our first full day in Destin. We didn’t have a lot planned, so we just decided to make it a beach a pool day. The boys didn’t object one bit. After the beach and pool, and naps, we headed out to get some photos out front by the [...]
Destin Vaca: The evening of our Arrival

We had a great trip to Destin. Last year when we went, we had a 20 month old and a 2 month old, and that was a challenging car ride because of the constant need for nursing, and Parker not being as easily distracted by the DVD player. We thought the ride may be challenging [...]
Kid Free Vaca!

I had a wonderful time with my bestie Jess in Charleston for my first kid free vaca of the year, and the first one since Mason was born. It’s become a bit of a tradition, it seems because I went for my first kid free vaca when Parker turned one. Of course, it was wonderful [...]
Adventures in Chattanooga

We just got back a few days ago from a beautiful fall trip to Chattanooga. Dan and I both have been there before, but this was our first family trip. We loved that it was only a few hours car ride from our home and that it gave us a taste of the mountains, while [...]
Delightful Destin

We had such a nice time on our first little vaca to Destin as a fam of four. The trip down there wasn’t too bad… Parker and Mason took a nap at the same time and that gave us the reprieve we needed to continue. We also found a cute little park right on the [...]

Parker is now 15 months old, and until recently, Dan and I have never spent the night away together since he was born. I have to admit, it’s mostly my fault. I can be slightly neurotic…okay very neurotic when it comes to taking care of my most precious little boy. The thought of Dan and [...]
Thanksgiving, Renunion and such

This Thanksgiving was wonderful. We got a chance to spend time with a lot of family, which is hard to do when you don’t live near everyone. It was great to see family come together and exchange stories and memories. I love being able to catch up with my cousin Patrick. We used to be [...]
Ashevilivin’ it up

This is our second trip to Asheville and this time it was much different. Now that we are officially traveling with a toddler…this makes for interesting vacations. It’s certainly not a vacation in the traditional sense (spa treatments, adventure excursions, shopping, eating at nice restaurants) but it is a nice change of scenery and a [...]
