Our favorite stops included the Aquarium, the Museum of Science and the Museum of Art. The kids LOVED their first subway rides, and it was just a really fun [...]

We stayed at this wonderful resort called the Nonantum Resort – it was five minutes from several beaches, and a ten minute walk from Dock Square (the main part of town). We lucked out in every way – our room was perfect, [...]

The husband surprised our eight year old son with a daddy/son road trip to Ottawa on Tuesday night to see the Senators game – his first NHL game. He LOVES everything hockey right now. It’s all he thinks about and he reads NHL books every free moment. He has this uncanny ability to remember facts [...]

March Break is almost here. I don’t know how early you make plans, but we are last minute planners, which basically means we’re not really planners at all. We don’t actually know what we’re doing for March Break yet, but we still have about ten days to figure it out. The kids are really hoping [...]
