Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia

Colonial Williamsburg is absolutely beautiful to visit, but it is even more beautiful covered in a blanket of snow.  The snow has been cleared and much was melting, but there was still plenty.  I will talk about our visit later, but for Photo Friday (over at DeliciousBaby) I decided to share some snowy pictures.  I [...]

And we are back live with a Photo Friday…

This has been a long two weeks…our Internet service has been awful…I am convinced the company is turning it off during the day to save money!  HA!  I am sure they aren’t, but we have had sketchy service off and on for the past two weeks hence the lack of posting.  Of course, the spammers [...]

Photo Friday

Awhile back, we visited a small scale sustainable farm in Walnut Hill, Florida.  When we were driving home, we drove past this:

It took me a second to realize what it was in that form!  Can you tell what it is?
Does this help?

Here is a hint!  Everytime I drive past one of these fields I think [...]

Adria Peaden Photography

When we travel, we love to get family photos of us in each destination.  We recently did a photo shoot in a hotel room because the weather wouldn’t cooperate while we were visiting family we hadn’t seen in a long time!  Most of the time we take the pictures ourselves but sometimes we splurge on [...]

A Cooking Lesson

My mom loves to cook and when she is in a new place she loves to learn how to cook meals popular to the area.  This is one of the travel habits that she has passed on to me.  On our honeymoon, my husband and I took a cooking class on Cajun cuisine.  I try [...]

Let it Snow – Foley, Alabama

This is the closest that we will get to snow this year. 

Last year we were sledding down mountains of real snow in Germany.  It snowed on Christmas morning, the kids went sledding every day and my husband was able to ski as often as he wished.  This year, we are staying in sunny Florida where [...]

Christmas Ornaments from Around the World

A few weeks ago, I wrote about souvenirs and mentioned my Christmas ornament collection.  Well, this week we were able to get the tree up and fully decorate it.

One of my favorite things to look for while traveling is the perfect Christmas ornament.  I try to find ornaments that remind us of our travels in [...]

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 [...]

Metropolitan Park – Kid’s Campus – Jacksonville, Florida

The Kid’s Campus at Metropolitan Park is set right next to the water and both the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Jacksonville Suns stadiums.  The Kid’s Campus is a great place to bring the kids to help them burn off some energy.  In the summertime, the park has a fantastic splash pad where the kids can [...]

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 [...]
