last night, we packed up and drove off to downtown winston-salem, to take in our first dash game at the new stadium. we had lots of fun… i think we were in the ninth row. isaac loves sprite. or any pop for that matter. watching intently. when the excitement of class a baseball wore off […]
tales of vacations and travels
some way late 3rd birthday photos
and now, for a much happier post… some pictures from isaac’s birthday party in new york. the cake (sadly, since we were in ny, i didn’t create a custom creation for my own kid. maybe a small gathering with nc family so he doesn’t feel slighted): isaac’s cousin, eliot, is a bit skeptical of all […]

Upon calling tweetsie, we learned that they were now only open on the weekend (since school starts tuesday – makes sense). Anyhow, thankful that we called, we loaded up our little train junkie and headed out. […]
