Kindles in the Wild – Hot Enough to Burn – Cynthia Eden – October 16, 2022 – MD Renaissance Festival

We’re going to pop a little bit further forward in time now to October. I know! I still have a ton of places and books to share, but this one was super fun and something that the girls and I haven’t been able to experience for a while. Not to mention it was a quick break from an October that just never seemed like it was going to end. Busy is not the word for what October was for us around here. Okay, busy is the word, but if there was a bigger word, I would use that inst

Kindles in the Wild – His Human Nanny – Michele Mills – May 11, 2022 - Presque Isle Leo’s Landing

I feel like I am kind of on a roll with working on my blog today, but I hate to jinx myself. Too late! I probably already have, but while the momentum lasts, here is another adventure from the same day. It is actually just down the drive from beach 10 and still on Presque Isle. We noticed it as we were driving by to head to beach 10 and just had to stop for a quick look. The parking area is a little bit of a walk from the landing, but it is flat and scenic so not too bad.

In an effort to keep on top of the current goings on I have been remiss in going back and posting some of the experiences we had at the beginning of this summer. Yikes! It is almost the end of the year and I still have so many places to post about from back in May. I will try to do better, but I am now going to school full time, work full time, and parenting full time, okay they are adults and should be kind of self-sufficient, but I still have to make multiple trips to the

They say there is a first time for everything, so Summer and I tried our hands at serving beer at the MD State Fair this year to help support Boumi. It started out a little rainy and cold, and maybe a little eerie with the grounds mostly empty and not a ride moving, but by the end of our shift the sun was peaking out and the rain was out of the area. Hopefully that meant a good concert experience for whomever was going to brave the mud. The traffic at our booth might not h

I still have so many tall ships to share with you gys, but one of my favorite things of the weekend was the World’s Largest Rubber Duck. We got there super early on the 2nd day, so we were able to see the actual making of the rubber duck. As you can see, we weren’t the only ones interested. The mounted patrol decided to hang out for a while as well. It always amazes me how well behaved the horses are around something so huge and out of the norm. The actual making of the d

We’re going on a ship, on a giant sailing ship…..okay, we didn’t actually get any further than the pier and we only went sailing as far as our imaginations could take as we walked up the gang plank onto the wooden decking, but it was still an experience everyone should have at least once. From the moment we started walking towards the towering masts, until we had the opportunity to tread cautiously around the rigging, I was clapping my hands with glee. But then we hoped on b

You guys! This one is a little hole in the wall museum that I think you are going to love. I apologize for the lack of pictures, but they were prohibited in the actual museum. This museum is a shipwreck museum where the displays are of the recovered items/treasures found under the waves. The curator has managed to pack the small space full of history and these amazing artifacts from all over the world. The displays are well lit and some of them are even setup as they woul

Summer and I had such a fantastic time with her Job’s group today! I was totally exhausted from a 1am wake up followed by a 6-hour drive from Erie, but after a little power nap on the bus ride I pepped right up. It was nice to give someone else the wheel for a change. This zoo is right in the heart of the city. If you couldn’t tell by the traffic, you can see the towering buildings and surrounding bridges as you walk through the Victorian style front gates. Be prepared to ha

You may think you have seen these pictures before, but you would be wrong. Okay, I stand corrected, you have seen them before, just from a different angle. This is the Virginia side of the Great Falls that we visited last time. Unlike the Maryland side, the hike for these viewing platforms is a little bit rougher. There are still handicap accessible areas, but if you are brave enough, there are rocks to scale offering even more spectacular views. I would recommend wearing stu

I was so excited to finally make it to this next location. My friend first pointed it out to me over a year ago, and it’s taken a while to work it into the schedule. Too long, if you ask me. Okay, part of that may be because my youngest gets sever motion sickness and the thought of a 4-hour drive on windy back roads might have made her bulk. The other being that when I had time, I only had one of the girls with me and we wanted to make this a family affair. The bridge is an a

After traveling so far, we just had to find us an animal filled location to enjoy. This little aquarium is small, but it is mighty. Floors are filled with aquatic life and the staff are stationed around to answer questions and to explain their featured fish. They have a show multiple times a day, but as it always seems to happen, we were there an hour before the next show, so we missed it. This aquarium has a touch tank, but of course we missed that as well since the critt

In keeping with the favorite rereads theme, I took one of my favorite books by one of my favorite authors to a bucket list location for almost everyone. This book has an amazing story that will leave you absolutely heartbroken, and then let you see the light. These two characters survived the unthinkable and then misconceptions kept them apart until the author reconnected them with a wonderful surprise. But the drama doesn’t stop there, and it leads to a HEA that makes me wan

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

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

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

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.
