march.
(quarantine begins).

Posted on May 13, 2020May 14, 2020by sarah

towards the end of our time in florida, the concern over the coronavirus was just picking up. we definitely gave a little extra thought to the fact that we were in a city with an international airport. but mostly, we had no idea that things were about to get real crazy real fast. when we […]

all the christmasses, 2019.

Posted on February 11, 2020February 11, 2020by sarah

polar express
(great smoky mountain railroad).

Posted on February 10, 2020February 10, 2020by sarah

we love watching and reading the polar express every year at christmas, and always say that someday we should ride the one of the many polar express themed train rides offered in our neck of the woods. well, our “maybe someday” turned into this year, when our family gift from the grandlidboms was a polar […]

st. augustine with the grandlidboms.

Posted on August 11, 2019August 12, 2019by sarah

for our final stop on our loop around florida, we met up with the grandlidboms in saint augustine. the wait between the last time we saw them and this time wasn’t as long as some of the visits out west, but the kids were just as excited, nonetheless. our first stop was dinner at a […]

Posted on February 19, 2019February 20, 2019by sarah

while we were in winston-salem, in january, the boy had his twelfth birthday. it seems like just a couple of minutes ago i was bringing him home from the hospital, but alas, it’s been a dozen years. it’s going by quickly and isaac has always been, shall we say, “spirited”, giving us a run for […]

raleigh, by train.

Posted on January 19, 2019January 19, 2019by sarah

for christmas, we asked for folks to give the gift of experiences to the lidkids, instead of stuff to fill our camper. the grandlidboms, who love to ride trains, gave us the gift of an amtrak train trip to raleigh, where we would be able to go to a museum or two, have some lunch, […]
