A couple of weeks ago, we headed North to Alexandria, Minnesota, with my hubby’s family. We rented a wonderful lake house with a boat, playground, and killer lakefront view porch. We spent our time boating, fishing, eating, playing games after the kids were in bed, swimming, and site-seeing. It was a lovely way to spendContinue reading “Lake Week”

Ocracoke Summer 2015 Trip
We spent a nice chunk of our June in North Carolina for a family vacation at the beach and visiting Greensboro. This was the first time we had been back since moving to Iowa two years ago.

We did the math and I have been to the Outer Banks 8 times and Eric 7 times. Not bad –Continue reading “Spring Break 2013: Piedmont to the Coast”
Dreaming of Key West + Lemon Garlic Roasted Carrots
Key West, Florida is a family favorite locale. My parents and sister have been there more frequently than Eric and I – we have only been twice now. I know, the shame! Poor Greta has yet to experience Key West. I have been daydreaming of spring break trips this year, as we are not likelyContinue reading “Dreaming of Key West + Lemon Garlic Roasted Carrots”
Oak Island, NC weekend
We spent last weekend at the beach, at Oak Island, NC. I had not been to this part of the North Carolina coast before and was not let down in the least. We stayed in a house right on the beach and enjoyed the easy access to the water. It was lovely to spend timeContinue reading “Oak Island, NC weekend”
