I’ve spent the past 3 days in Washington D.C. walking around the National Mall, Arlington, Georgetown and inside various museums. I have personally had a blast! Watching my sons enjoy the same sights I did as a child has been incredible for me, it’s been a tradition I absolutely want to continue with my sons. But… and this is a [...]

We wanted to do another day on the National Matt yesterday, so we changed our plans (was supposed to do the Zoo) and spent the afternoon at the National Air and Space Museum (which the boys loved!). The weather yesterday was weather you wish for… sunny, beautiful and warm.   We hit the Mall and spent the whole day again walking [...]

As I’ve mentioned, Brian and I are just starting the process of looking for a house, and for the past year we’ve been living between our parents’ houses. It hasn’t been ideal, but we’re grateful that our parents have allowed us to do this in order to save money, especially at the expense of their personal space! We are also [...]

How times have changed for me… Myoplex Lite, thank you!

I carved out some time on Sunday to FINALLY finish our south Florida vacation video! It includes scenes from Ft. Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, West Palm Beach and Miami. Palm trees, sunshine, flip flops, the beach… I miss it so much, especially looking outside my window right now at the dreary rain. Putting this video together truly made me fall in [...]

Yesterday, when I saw many family members and friends back home lament on Facebook about the SNOW in Rhode Island, I was very grateful for yet another beautiful, sunny, 80-degree vacation day. I know that I’ll be returning to that weather tomorrow, but it reminded me to REALLY ENJOY this weather I while I could. So after a beautiful but [...]

So… I have been scarce around here, haven’t I? We’ve been enjoying our vacation and have been spending more time outside than online, which, I suppose, is how it should be. The previous five days here have been much like the first four I documented… beautifully warm, sunny and enjoyable. On Thursday Brian and I drove about 45 minutes north [...]

It’s time for bed… it’s late, Brian is already sleeping and all the lights are off in the condo. It’s not all darkness, though; there’s the light from my laptop, of course, but also the rotating glow from the lighthouse beacon in the near distance. It is quite beautiful and soothing. I love working late at night because there are [...]

OK, so today Brian and I didn’t do much but sit by the pool and enjoy the GORGEOUS weather. However, we did work out early in the morning, so we weren’t totally unproductive. Brian ran 6.5 miles and then I met him at the community aquatic center (which has an incredible Olympic-sized pool) and we swam laps together. Then we [...]
