Our Annual Family Trip to Woodloch Pines in the Poconos Rocked As Usual

This past weekend, my family packed up the car and headed to Hawley, Pennsylvania for a mini vacation. This marks the third year in a row that we visited Woodloch Pines with my wife’s entire family (her two sisters’ families and my in-laws). It’s basically four days of campy fun for eight adults and seven kids. Thankfully the weather was near perfect. It rained just once, on Monday for about half the day. But other …

5 Things You Would Learn About Me if You Walked Through My House

Trisha over at MomDot.com wrote a really fun post today where she showed off five photos from her house, that each teach you something about her. She challenged everyone to join in on the fun.

I just read a …

On Sunday, my family headed down to the Big Apple to meet some family friends and go to Madam Tussaud’s Wax Museum. I’ve …

It’s A Awesome! Our Visit to the Nintendo World Store

We spent the day in Manhattan today with some family friends and had an absolute blast. I won’t bore you with every sordid detail, though I will be doing a follow-up post on our crazy fun trip to Madam Tussauds wax museum. So stay tuned for that one.  Personally, I’m not a big fan of New York City. Not that I’m a country boy by any means (though I do love me some Dukes of Hazzard!), but …
