Sports and Learning Complex: Landover, MD

Sports and Learning Complex: Landover, MD

  80 acres is a lot of space and this facility makes use of all of it!  The Prince George’s County Sports and Learning Complex is one of our favorite places to go year around.  In the winter, when we miss the warm weather, we head to their heated pool.  Complete with a lazy river, [Read More]

Magnetic Chalkboard Experiment

  So, we are new to homeschooling.  Since our son is only 3 years old, we are still just exploring the world and enjoying this fun (read: very active) time.  However, he has shown some interest in reading and writing so, one rainy weekend, we embarked on the Chalkboard Wall Experiment.  We noticed it in [Read More]

Many Faces of Rielle

Many Faces of Rielle

We have a 6 month old little girl named Rielle.  She has tons of personality.  Because she is usually in the Bjorn during our outings, she is seldom in our pictures.  So, I was playing around with my new camera and caught a couple of her funny faces.  Enjoy!

College Park Aviation Museum: College Park, MD

RJ really loves planes.  He gets it from his dad.  When we are driving from one outing to another, he always points out the planes and gets upset because “mommy is driving” and can’t look at them.  So, whenever there are fun activities at the College Park Aviation Museum, I try to take him.

Imagine It! Children’s Museum: Atlanta, GA

Yes, I’ve been to a few children’s museums!  BUT, I was extremely impressed with the Imagine It! Children’s Museum in Atlanta, GA.  What they lack in actual square footage, they make up for in their creative use of the space they do have.  Several play spaces in the DMV could learn a thing or two [Read More]

The International Spy Museum

The International Spy Museum

I always wanted to take RJ to the Spy Museum but I was not sure it was age appropriate and didn’t want to pay $18 (+tax) to find out.  So, imagine my excitement when a friend gifted us his “LivingSocial” deal to check it out!  A pricetag of $FREE is something I will never pass [Read More]

Ringling Brothers Circus Animal Parade

Ringling Brothers Circus Animal Parade

  The circus is coming to town! Since we aren’t going to make it to the actual circus while it is in DC, I thought it would be fun to watch the circus animals (particularly the ELEPHANTS) as they marched their way to the Verizon Center for the first show! In addition to the huge [Read More]
