we are now almost fully recovered, so i can begin posting about out it… our end of summer family trip to north myrtle beach. usually, we go right after school is out. in june. but, last year, when we were selecting dates, and i was miserably pregnant and heartburny, we thought that postponing as long […]

bullhole.
two weekends ago, we made a spur of the moment decision to go on an adventure. derek had read about this place in cooleemee, called the bullhole, which sounds sort of like a bad word. *snicker*. anyhow. it’s a super short hike down to a dam, where there’s some little waterfalls and slippery rocks to […]
random summer happenings.
other than our beach trip and our ny trip, we haven’t been doing much this summer. it’s way harder to do things with the treacherous trio that i had ever imagined. i think their age difference plays into that. but, mostly, we just hang out around the house and such. here’s a photo filled post […]
july 4th and our last day in batavia.

food and friends. batavia and williamsville.
we continued our western new york eating tour by hitting up the pok-a-dot for some beef on weck and gravy fries. (for newer readers of this blog, my gramma, mom and i all worked at the pok-a-dot. a lot of memories. and old friendly faces. i think it’s a national treasure. no? it should be.) […]
