Riverbanks Zoo Columbus, SC As you know, when I road trip we make lots of stops. On our recent trip to Virginia I planned our route about 30 minutes out of the way so that we’d have a good first stop, and really just a good start to the day. The kids never mind the extra time … Continue reading
Our recent trip to Virginia/ Maryland was as it always is… fun.And even though we have made the trip many times before there were some firsts for us which I will fill in over the next few weeks.

As I was about to write about my almost- nervous breakdown that I had on Mother’s Day, and the one sweet moment vs. the just terrible, terrible moments.

I have named May “money saving May”. So with gas prices being the way they are and me being the way that I am, I have cut out most travel and restaurants.
