impromptu to boone. (mostly a tale about another solo hike).

Posted on April 6, 2025April 10, 2025by sarah

in an attempt to spice up our life a little, and not sit around all weekend in this stupid house, we made a semi-spontaneous decision to head to boone with the fam. and then we also made the decision to have me go up a day early to have some alone time without the fam. […]

thanksgiving in batavia.

Posted on November 30, 2024February 17, 2025by sarah

since we didn’t make it to ny all summer, we decided to head up for thanksgiving this year. when we homeschooled and then in covid and then when the schools gave a whole week for thanksgiving, it was a lot easier. but with kids in activities and work and my school, it was a little […]

a brief visit to dc and baltimore.

Posted on September 22, 2024February 5, 2025by sarah

originally, after purchasing tickets to see vance joy in columbia, maryland, we planned to make a long weekend out of it and do a proper tour of DC. but, i was a little overwhelmed with my classes, so we kept it short and sweet, driving up on the day of the concert, seeing some sites […]

vance joy. round two.

Posted on September 21, 2024February 5, 2025by sarah

as you may or may not know. we are huge fans of vance joy. we fell in love with him when we lived on the road. i can even remember where we were during the time when we discovered his music. hazel, only three at the time, knew all the lyrics to several songs, and […]

summer beach trip. last days.

Posted on July 25, 2024January 25, 2025by sarah

alrighty. time to wrap this thing up. when anna and derek returned from their fishing trip, we still had a whole afternoon to kill. as you may have heard, two thirds of the kids were very much over the beach. we decided it would be a good time to do some shopping and sight seeing. […]

summer beach trip. anna and derek go fishing.

Posted on July 24, 2024January 25, 2025by sarah

ok. so, just like derek always plans a day for me to go for an epic side quest hike or adventure when we are on trips more conducive to such activities, when we are near large bodies of water, derek plans an epic side quest fishing trip (epic for him, not me). on this trip, […]

summer beach trip. more beachy days.

Posted on July 23, 2024January 25, 2025by sarah

after a day off of basking in the hot summer north carolina sun, the kids were game for driving to the point of oak island and taking a little sunset walk. we took lots of purple-y pics. ruby loved the more calm waters and the weird sand embankment. we met a crusty crab. and looked […]

summer beach trip. the aquarium, etc.

Posted on July 22, 2024January 25, 2025by sarah

while i would be happy just chilling at the beach with a book for the entirety of our vacation, it turns out that kids seem to need more activities. which likely explains all the minigolf and aquariums and such. my boss/friend teresa’s fam has a home at oak island and gave me a hot tip […]

summer beach trip. first days.

Posted on July 21, 2024January 25, 2025by sarah

i’m not gonna lie. after our michigan trip, i wasn’t super excited to load us all back up in the car for another family vacation. but this one was a much shorter commute and would hopefully be a bit more laid back. you know. beaches and all. so we loaded up the posse, including ruby […]
