Kindles in the Wild – My Brother’s Keeper – Alanea Alder – May 6, 2022 – Old Pro Golf

For this one we’re going to have to do a bit of a time hop, yep! Way back to May. It’s not that I didn’t have the book read, just that so many amazing things have happened since then. This particular event started as all good stories do, It was a dark and stormy night…….. No! Seriously! It was literally a dark and stormy night, with flash floods, and strikes of lightning, and not being able to see the road in front of you. You know, the perfect time to take the daughters fo

This next location was a last minute add in on our latest trip. We figured we had time and we were only 12 minutes away, so what the heck. If you are a lover of the paranormal, ghost hunters, or just spooky things, you may have seen at least one show about it. But trust me when I say they do not do it justice. Now mind you, we went in the middle of the day, when it was hot, but not roasting, so it could have always been worse. One of the best things about this location is

Kindles in the Wild – Stalking His Mate – Dianna Love – July 4, 2022 – Towson 4th of July Parade

Once again, we found ourselves out at the Towson 4th of July parade to support Summer and the rest of Bethel 36, the shrine, and the Mason’s as they made their way around Towson. Luckily the lovely ladies were in the beginning of the parade, well after all of the political hopefuls, because it was HOT! Okay not as hot as it has been this week, for a few minutes there I thought my Reef sandals were going to melt to the pavement, but hot just the same. The best part of this pa

I have often wondered what has happened to the strangers at this next location. With their abandoned vehicles, parked neatly at the side of the road. The ones who bike or walk across the street and then seem to just disappear into the underbrush. It’s all very Alice in Wonderlandesq and I have wanted to stop so many times to see where the path would lead me. Well, I finally had my chance! Mollee and I were lucky enough to grab the end parking space, you know the one that’s j

OMG!!!!! The girls and I had the most fantastic experience today! Well, this weekend really, but I will tell you more about that later. This morning we were at the doors of The Franklin Institute at 9:30, when they opened, to board the Hogwarts Express and start our journey through the Harry Potter: The Exhibition. We traveled as VIP guests on this journey and viewed the houses, the sets, the costumes and so much more on our way. There were so many things to see and do tha

So, in keeping with the zoo theme this weekend, a few weeks ago we went to this fantastic little zoo. At only 20 acres you would think that this is a small little zoo, and you would be right. This zoo is basically a strip that you walk down and then walk back up covering most of the same path. There are a few little vignettes that show you more than one side of the animals, but for the most part it is up and back. They are currently working on a few expansion projects, that

I think I have told you guys before that we try to make this at least an annual visit if not more often, but this particular visit was for more than just the animals. We heard there were dinosaurs at the zoo and we just had to come see for ourselves. The rumors were true! There were roaring, moving dinosaurs at the zoo and it was well worth the visit. These beasts of old were big and loud and you could hear them calling before you got too far down the trail. Now mind you t

Sorry guys, these are not going to be in any particular order from here on out. Well not until I get my assistant (aka Mollee) set up to help me post and keep me on track. Until then they are driven by the order in which I finish reading the books and which one is going to free up more of my camera roll. 😊 This little zoo was at the tale end of our trip to OC MD, DC and Virginia, we actually went to several zoos on our weeklong adventure, but this was the last.

Our new indoor “thing” seems to be bowling as we once again find ourselves at the bowling alley. Hey! At least we are getting in plenty of practice. You know, for our future career on the bowling league. Mmm….does our alley even have a league. Things to think about. Anyway, the lineup was a little different this time since Summer was able to join us. We were in a different lane, and everyone did a much better job, but I think our scoring machine was just a bit off. I don

Another beautiful day, another journey to a scenic location. This one made me feel a little like a dwarf. And no, I’m not referring to my formidable 5 ft height. We headed out early, some of us more enthusiastic about it than others and braved the DC traffic to head under the earth. This is one of the largest caverns around, and once you head down you know why. The ceilings are soaring, no claustrophobia to be found and the entire walk is well lit. From the moment you st

This year has been drastically different from last year. We’ve had a lot more opportunities for me to put miles on my car and my youngest to come home from university. And Easter couldn’t have happened on a better weekend. With 80+ temps, we found ourselves outside with the sunroof open as we enjoyed some family bonding. This time we searched out the water in our own area, I know! I know! We are always doing that, but we have never been to this location before. That being

This one is a quick dining experience with my co-worker and Summer. She is one of my favorite people and we enjoy getting out once a month to enjoy the different food options around town. I’m sad to say this will be our last one as she is going PRN, but hopefully it won’t be the last time we see her. This little trip found us at Mother’s Grill just in time for their St Patty’s Day specials. Yummy! Reubens all the way for me! Hey I’m part Irish! Don’t judge me! I mean I

You guys better buckle up, this is going to be a whirlwind ride. Once again, I have let life get in the way and now, I have to do a photo dump to make way for even more Kindles in the Wild. We have been from the frozen north to the southern divide, and I can’t wait to share the fun and fantastic reads I have had along the way. Right down the road from the museum is the Bicentennial Tower. A favorite fishing spot for the area and the perfect spot for pictures. As you can s

As always happens, all good things have to come to an end, and we found ourselves back in Erie before the snowstorm. So we, of course, headed to the maritime museum for a school project and to see what we can see. The first thing we saw was the towering smokestack in the parking lot. And we heard tell of a tall ship available for tours, but at 16°F the guides didn’t seem too enthusiastic about going out there. But that’s okay, it just means we will have to go back when it

On the 4th day we finally found our way home and spent the afternoon with family. My aunt, cousin and sister joined us for a trip to the lanes where some of us had a strong showing, and others needed a bit more practice. We had a fantastic time getting in our exercise, okay I sat, read my book, and talked so real exercise for me, on this chilly day. And, of course, I talked, watched, and put a dent, huge, ginormous even, in the reading of my book. The cover of this book wa

After spending the night in Hagerstown, we headed to Frederick for the day. This town has those sacred items that all dancers need…. pointe shoes, not to mention the fantastic small town feel and picturesque views of the water. We visited on a Sunday morning, so a lot of the shops were closed. But it’s the perfect little kitchy town where you can find knick knacks and one-of-a-kind gifts. Plus there is everything from ice cream to gluten free when you are ready to take a b

Well day 2 of Spring Break and we went from hot and sunny to cold and rainy. But that didn’t stop us from making a side trip to Pittsburgh for a trek outdoors and a new venue we had never seen before. One good thing about the rain is we had the museum to ourselves. I guess there are not that many crazy, umm I meant brave, people in the world. Its not very big, but it is 2 stories full of history and some amazing dioramas and wax figures. It’s actually the perfect place to

Not to mention just the other week I was unexpectedly stuck in the frozen north overnight due to winter storms. Oh well, welcome to Maryland, they always say. Although on this particular adventure it was welcome to Pennsylvania. If you couldn’t tell before, my daughters and I love bein

Nothing better after a long day at work then taking a field trip with one of your coworkers. After computer updates were done and we were finished terrorizing the masses, Ms Julie and I went and picked up Summer for a late dinner at The Greene Turtle. I usually go there for their burgers but thought I would be a rebel and grab a crabby melt with fries instead. Yummy! Oh! And they have Smith Island cake slices that you can get to eat there or grab on the go. Super Yummy! M

You guys! The girls and I had our first Kindles in the Wild experience for 2022 and it was a doozy. Have you all ever gone to the zoo in the winter? Me either! But I highly recommend. We had to take Mollee back to school after the holidays (sad face) but we decided to make it a 2 day trip this time and stopped over in Pittsburgh for the evening with a freezing cold trip to the zoo. Okay, the temp was actually 33 degrees so not quite freezing, but still pretty cold when y
