After the gym I came home and asked Blake if he wanted to do something. Being a nasty day out we didn’t really know what to do but figured we would get hiking stuff loaded in the car along with a change of clothes in case we got soaked from the rain. I sent aContinue reading “7/9/2022 – A day of 3 strikes and you’re out……”

Smoke Hole Caverns – 6/4/2022
We stayed at the Smoke Hole Caverns, so it only made sense to check out the caverns. The Caverns are located next to West Virginia’s largest gift shop.

WeContinue reading “DreamWorks Water Park – American Dream Mall, NJ April 8th, 2022”

Three years ago, Blake, my kids and I went to D.C. to see the Cherry Blossoms that we read online were in “peak bloom” (not so much).
