On Sunday Mike and I met my Dad to explore the Nauticus Museum and Battleship Wisconsin. The Battleship is berthed in downtown Norfolk. We explored the massive ship and also the maritime and naval museums in the adjacent building. Going anywhere with my Dad is like having a free tour guide – he knows a
Boomer turns 1 on August 21st. When I look at him I still see the tiny puppy we brought home in October. He is my sweet boy and much of his personality remains unchanged, but now he weighs 80lbs and barks with a deep confidence. He is a great dog and brings so much joy
Monday the temperature dipped below 20 degrees and the roads were icy and treacherous. Sunday was a different story. Less than 24 hours before the deep freeze, Mike and I were walking the dogs under bright, warm, early spring sunshine. We are scheduled to close on our house this Friday and I wanted to visit
We got about 8 inches of snow Tuesday night. The Shipyard where I work was closed yesterday and today, so I’ve had plenty of time to enjoy this winter wonderland. Mike drove up from Aiken on Tuesday and we’ve got to unload our Uhaul once the streets are safe. We’re keeping all of our stuff

Sometimes I forget how easy it is to go exploring. I don’t have to drive for several hours to find some place new. Hitchcock Woods is essentially in our backyard and every time I go it’s different. Last time I was in the woods was when Megan came to visit. Sunday afternoon I took Bella
Dear Bella, You will be six years old in February. I guess that makes sometime this month your half birthday. I remember the day I brought you home from the hospital middle of nowhere. I’d driven about an hour outside of Tallahassee to pick you up from some nice people. They found you and your sister
After our mini adventure in Frankenmuth, we kept heading north on I-75 until we got to the town of Bay City. I just didn’t feel right driving all the way to Michigan and not seeing one of the Great Lakes. We stopped in Bay City because I needed ice cream. Then we got back in
Did you guys know Christmas is my favorite holiday? When I found out about Bronner’s I knew I couldn’t leave Michigan without visiting. I didn’t think it was going to be possible because initially I thought it was just too far from where we were staying. But after some sleuthing on MapQuest I realized
