tales of vacations and travels
Travelers
On our way to the mountains for a weekend getaway with the Barriers and the Lambeths. I’m riding in the cramped unstowed away 3rd row, so I can easily tend to the girlie. Top view of the boy and his new buzz lightyear game:side view:happy girl:antisocial tween brother:
Our First WS Dash Game
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 […]
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 […]

Day 3 – Official Roan Mountain Post
Yesterday, we took the advice of the Duncan family, and headed off to Roan Mountain on the border of NC and Tennessee. We hiked around (hiking, pleading with isaac, cleaned up an accident, sat at the top of the mountain, climbed big rocks, ate candy) for a few hours. The boy is a trooper. And […]
