the rest of our trip was quite sunny. and we went to the beach a lot. a lot lot. i’m not even going to bother to caption these pics.
tales of vacations and travels
carnival on the beach.
even though the sun came out, it was still a bit chilly and the beach was a bit soggy. plus, ike had been begging us to go ride the rides at this little mini carnival that runs from memorial day to labor day where main street hits the beach. this ferris wheel seemed to be […]
alligator mania. and other rainy day activities.
on one of the rainy days, we drove to myrtle beach (we were technically in north myrtle), and tried to go to a children’s museum, since we have the reciprocal (free) membership. apparently a lot of other folks had this idea too and there was a 30 minute wait because they were at capacity. and […]
meeting myrtle beach.
if you are my facebook friend, then you are no doubt aware that we’ve been at the beach for the last week. just in case you’re not, i’ll be posting some pics and stories here. 🙂 on sunday, we woke up. loaded up. and hit the road for myrtle beach. the ride seemed incredibly long. […]
some more from ny. and pa.
here are some random new york pics, plus some of our journey home… playing with chalk at new gramma’s and grampa terry’s. tic-tac-toe with jake at tullys. hanging with “the other isaac”. drumming at leslie’s. cousins, bathing. at leslie’s. on the way home, we took a slight detour and stopped in pennsylvania to visit our […]
strong museum. and strong hospital.
during most extended batavia trips, we always make an attempt to get to the strong museum of play. this time was no exception. this time, we are members of the winston-salem childrens museum, so we got in for free. and since we were practically next door, we headed over to the hospital to see uncle […]
pontillo’s friends.
yesterday morning in batavia was a little crazy, after finding out the news about my uncle ray. we went to julie redband/varland’s house to play with her isaac (her anna is in school). then, anna took the world’s longest nap. and then we went to the old pontillo’s (now “batavia’s original”) for 25 cent wings […]
more road tripping.
after our road trip to florida, we took a weekend to recover and then the kids and i reloaded for our first big road trip without derek, this time to western new york. derek has a ridiculous long week at work and it would be a good time for us to get out and do […]
florida. part 4. sea world.
on our last day, we really still weren’t feeling the crowds and waiting, so we decided to give sea world a try. we were a little disappointed in the number of rides isaac qualified for. but we got to see the shamu show. and eat more high dollar chicken nuggets. and look super cool. ike […]
florida. part 3. downtown disney.
on our second day in orlando, we decided to forego the mayhem and high cost of a disney park and instead opted for downtown disney. we hit up the lego store: and then in one of the disney stores, anna found her old friends tigger and pooh. so, naturally, derek’s dad bought them for her. […]
