“How was the day?”

Posted on August 19, 2010February 24, 2017by Derek

Derek here… While our kids are usually decent during the day (aforementioned exceptions excluded), Anna’s lack of post-midnight sleeping takes its toll on Sarah. I often ask how the day was when I get home. This evening, I realized that there is a non-verbal indicator of how the elder lidkid behaved during the day… Yep…the […]

towels! last year, we went to hilton head island for a sweet long weekend beach trip. this year, well, we had a baby a week before our anniversary, so we knew we weren’t going to go on any fantastic voyages… so, instead we splurged on towels… our old towels were from when we got married […]

Day 3 – Official Roan Mountain Post

Posted on August 25, 2009February 9, 2011by sarah

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 […]

Day 2 – Tweetsie…

Posted on August 24, 2009January 8, 2017by sarah

Yesterday, we began calling around a bit, to find out hours, prices, etcetera, for some of our potential stops. 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. […]
