Mr. SP and I have been in Vermont for almost a week enjoying a most excellent vacation. Today we make the long, 12+ hour journey home. I thought I’d share some scenes from Vermont with you. The first set of pictures were taken in the Woodstock area. If I see a covered bridge, I love…
Sunday morning was beautiful in Boston, perfect for a Duck ride. These tours fill up surprisingly fast, so we made reservations the night before. See what we enjoyed doing in Boston on day three here. If you’ve never been on a duck ride, they are a mix of a serious tour with a whole…
We really didn’t want to leave Newport but Boston reservations had been made. I found what ended up being a great place for us to stay in Boston. We knew we wanted to stay near the public gardens and when I looked for a hotel last week, they were all extremely expensive. I searched for…
Friday was a great day in Newport, Rhode Island! Mr. SP and I were on the go the entire day and I do believe that we walked for about four hours or maybe more. As a result, the sleeping was good Friday night. Read all about what we did on our first day in Newport, here….
Greetings from Newport! Mr. SP and I are enjoying a long weekend in first Newport and then in Boston. We arrived on Thursday. We’re staying at Hotel Viking, a beautiful hotel that is close to everything that we want to do: harbour, Cliff Walk, mansions, and the Tennis Hall of Fame. We arrived Thursday afternoon…
A couple of nights ago we went to the dunes to watch the sun go down. It would be way too hot to be on the dunes during the day, but in the evening the sand is cool and the area is quite pleasant. Isn’t this beautiful? Running up and down the dunes is loads…
What kid doesn’t love a treasure hunt? We went on a geocaching treasure hunt and found three hidden treasures very close to our beach house. The basic idea is someone hides a treasure and you find it using a GPS. My sister-in-law loaded an application for geocaching onto her i-phone and that was all we needed…
Mama and I had a very nice time visiting my cousin and her family in St. Louis. Melinda kept us on the go and we were able to do quite a few fun things. The first day we went to a St. Charles, a cute town on the Mississippi. It was raining that afternoon, but…
I had yet another day off from school yesterday so Mr. SP took the day off so that we could ski. The conditions were perfect: no wind, not cold, great snow, and not crowded. Yesterday had to have been the best day of skiing that I’ve ever had in Virginia. The drive to Wintergreen is…
After a crushing third set tie-breaker loss for our mixed doubles team on Sunday, Mr. SP and I decided to head to the parkway to lick our wounds and take in some glorious fall color. We are lucky to live less than 30 minutes from the parkway. We stopped at many of the overlooks between…
Mama and I headed to Chicago this past weekend to meet a group of friends. This group met on a bulletin board a few years back and we’ve been friends ever since. From time to time we chose a place to gather and meet in person. We stayed in Geneva at at bed and breakfast….
Mr. Sweet Pea and I headed to Chicago over the weekend for our friend’s wedding. Jeff is 44, nice as can be, and just never could meet “the one.” He found Lisa, his perfect match, on Match.com. We are so happy that Jeff and Lisa met through the Internet and our now happily married. Mr….
