Dreaming of More Souvenirs

A few weeks ago, I wrote about some of my daughter’s favorite souvenirs.  We love to pick up all different kinds of souvenirs when we travel.  Today, I am still dreaming about putting up my Christmas tree.  I love to collect ornaments when we travel and this morning I spent the morning going through different closets [...]

Green Acres Farm – Walnut Hill, Florida

Last weekend we had the opportunity to visit a small-scale sustainable farm with a local group of moms.  Little S had so much fun wandering around the farm, seeing the animals, and working…yes…working!  The farm owners put us to work because everyone on the farm has a job!  Green Acres farm is a small-scale sustainable [...]

Dreaming of Great Souvenirs (and my Christmas Tree!)

On Friday, I wrote about our trip to Wegman’s and why we love the grocery store.  It is a great place to get yummy food from the area you are visiting but it is also a fantastic place to pick up souvenirs to bring home to your family and friends.  That post got me thinking [...]

Power of the Grocery Store

Don’t underestimate the power of the grocery store when vacationing!  I love to wander the aisles of a grocery store that is new and different from the ones in my hometown, where the most exciting grocery store is Publix.  It is no wonder that I get excited when I see a local grocery, a farmer’s [...]

Colors so brilliant they look fake!

Living in the Florida Panhandle, we rarely see the leaves change colors.  A lot of the leaves stay green, some change briefly, others go straight to brown.  While we were in Washington DC, we had the opportunity to see leaves that had changed into the most brilliant colors I have ever seen.  They don’t even [...]
