After such an amazing airboat tour it was now time for the part of this day trip that we ad been long anticipating. I don’t know if you guys are avid fans of Animal Planet, but ever since the debut episode of the Gator Boys, the girls and I have wanted to go and watch one of their gator shows live. It was everything we hoped for and so much more. As luck would have it, the man himself, Gator Boy Chris, was the one performing. I know! How amazing is that? He made the show fun

This one is a 2-part day trip, and it was absolutely amazing! Thank goodness we started the day fairly early, because the parking lot was really starting to fill up as we got there. Of course, that also meant that we had some downtime to sit and enjoy the outdoors while we waited for our boat tour. As it so happened, I just managed to bring one of my favorite books written by my favorite authors. This is a pretty new release, and it is just a little embarrassing how many time

This round of mini golf was brought to you by one of my favorite books! (I admit I am a complete dork! I have always wanted to say that since I was a good and one of my favorite TV shows always ended that way.) But seriously! I absolutely love this book! The author took a complete turn from her normal fair and brought us right into the pack. I love the characters, yes even the dragon lady, and I love the storyline and the potential for future books to come. This book is a mus

Our first full day in Florida and we are getting started with our first beach trip. This was actually the first beach I ever got to visit in Florida as well, so it seemed kind of fitting. Mind you this was a Sunday, so it was pretty busy, but lucky us we managed to snag up front parking at just the right moment. Summer and I walked all over the pier area while the other two went onto the sands and in the water, but I think a good time was had by all. We were able to hear a lo

And we are on our way! Of course, some of us are not as happy about the 5am take off time as others are. Our mission today is a 15-hour 15-minute drive from Maryland to Vero Beach Florida. Sorry, no books today. It might be a little hazardous to us and the other drivers on the road if I were to indulge while passing through so many states. We stopped in so many states along the way and can I just say how much I love my little rouge. Only 3 of those stops were for gas! We felt

Just a few more hours to kill and then we will be heading out to sunny Florida, so what better way to spend it then another trip to a new mini golf course. This one is out in the sun with a few spots of shade, so be sure to put on some sunscreen before you head to the pro shop. Don’t let those unassuming lanes fool you, this golf course has some challenging holes that will keep you hoping right until the very end. There are uphill battles, narrow tracks, sand traps, and so ma

How we love those summer days out on the water! Just a few more days and we will be in sunny Florida, but in the meantime, we headed out for a little more outdoor fun right in our own backyard. Once again, we found ourselves out in one of our favorite kayaking locations. The drive out is nice, the water is calm, the price is right, and there is so much to do on the park grounds. Just be sure you are out of the gate before the park closes, according to the signs they will lock

It seems like mini golf is one of our things this summer, and why not? It’s outside, cheap, fun for all ages, and takes up an hour or two. Not to mention the fantastic designs of the courses. This is our first visit to this mini golf not too far from our house. The course is wide open, well kept, and not too difficult, but be sure to watch out for those water traps. The staff are super friendly, and the prices are perfect making this a fantastic experience. Summer was at work

Do you ever feel like your life is crazy and time just keeps getting away from you? That is exactly what keeps happening to me. I have all of these amazing activities and books to share, but I just can’t find time to share them. There are just too many activities going on to get a break and tell you about what we have been doing. Ugh! This one is part two of Memorial Day weekend. We took our friends out to another one of our old stomping grounds and discovered a new path alon

This Kindles in the Wild is a two-part experience that we enjoyed with some new friends. Not just the geese who decided that if one person was giving out food, we all must be. We started the morning out on the water at our normal kayaking place, but you know lunch had to happen and we ended up with a change of venue. Plus, some of our party are still fairly new to the world and not ready for a grand adventure on the water. How fantastic that the actual holiday was nice and su

It seems like our theme this year is day trips. We keep finding these fantastic little places that are not too far from our house and enjoying every moment that we spend there. This time we took a trip to Harpers Ferry and I assure you will be visiting again, maybe for a long weekend. We went with a plan in mind, and reservations even, but in the course of finding that we came across so many other things we wanted to do and see. This time our journey took us to the River Ride

We finally made it into the water for the first time, this season, today! Whoo hoo!!! And it was our first time kayaking at this location. Last summer we had walked around a bit and then hiked from the fishing center, but I did not have the right shoes for pushing a kayak into the water, no matter Mollee’s disdain at not kayaking. Anyhoo, this really is a fantastic location for kayaking. You can bring your own kayak or rent one for the entire day at a reasonable price. The wa

Mollee and I finally managed to make it back to our local branch of the NCR trail today. My sister drove down to join us, and we met up on the trail to walk from P8 to P7 and back. Don’t ask me how far that is because I never pay attention, but my FitBit assures me it is far enough to count towards a workout day, 57 zone minutes and get me up to 11,258 steps. We enjoy this trail because it is wide enough to allow multiple bikes, people and strollers to share the road without

Yesterday Mollee and I took advantage of the warm weather and my getting out of work early to go out on a brand-new adventure. We started out looking for the remnants of an abandoned village, which we found as you can tell by the church ruins, rusted out old tow truck, and the tractor trailer half in the water, but we ended up finding so mu

This is a fantastic experience for the entire family! Especially if you are looking for something to do on a rainy day. You get the joy of the outdoors and the comfort of not being rained on, you know since you’re under the ground. Yes, I do know this from personal experience. Mollee and I took a day trip to check out the caverns Saturday and had a great time. The tours go out every 30 minutes to an hour and the tour guide was phenomenal. She made it a fun and educational ex

Summer and I passed a sign for this place on our way to the Ironton Rail Trail, so we decided to stop in on our way back to the house. We were not disappointed! There is a little shop, an ice cream parlor, you can pan for gold, and they even have mini golf for when you wait. The tour starts with a short video on the history of the caves and then you get to walk through the caves. Be warned, the caves are wet and steep steps, so wear sturdy, non-slip shoes and you might want a

Summer and I hit the road this past weekend for parts unknown. Okay they were known, but we hadn’t had a chance to go check them out before. We traveled about 2 and ½ hours to the scenic little town of Coplay, PA to take a 5.5 mile walk and see the sights. Along the way we got a chance to see the fog coming off of the water, that’s what happens when you leave super early to take life head on, and we made some detours on the way back. As always, we had our trusty Kindles on h
