This morning we hopped in a cab promptly at 3:30am, heading to Dulles International Airport for our flight to Belize. Final stop Grand Caribe Resort on Ambergris Caye. Due to our early departure the girls’ energy level wasn’t in peak form. And neither was mine. I slept all the way to Atlanta, I was out…

Until We Meet Again
As our vacation came to a close on Saturday, as I was driving up Interstate 95, I wondered why we haven’t visited Bald Head Island, NC before. We spent a lot of years in the Outer Banks with the hordes of people trying to cram themselves onto a tiny sliver of sand and dealing with…
Our Sand Box…
After a couple of days on island my first impression…quiet. My second impression is quiet. And coming from the Washington DC area quiet is what we were looking for. Now Bald Head Island has two “members only” clubs. The Shoals Club and Bald Head Island Club. These clubs have pools, athletic centers, multiple restaurants, golf,…
Island Ahead!
Saturday July 20th – Briana, Kota, and I, along with all our gear for a week at the beach, set off for Camp Horizons where our girls have been for 2 weeks of sleep-away camp, or fancy camp as some call it. We pulled into camp just before 9am and headed straight for the barn…
Vacation can’t come fast enough….
Tomorrow is the big day! 2 reasons why it’s big for my family. The first is we pick up our daughters from camp. They’ve been at camp now for 2 weeks and I must admit it’s been very nice being able to just do whatever we adults want to do, but…its also been very quiet,…
Charleston, Golf, and the Beach
Monday was supposed to be a beach day however due to the extreme wind we decided to drive into Charleston for a day of shopping and sites. We arrived just in time for lunch, so we grabbed lunch at Eli’s Table which I highly recommend. I had chicken and sweet potato waffles with cinnamon butter. Man…
Biking, the Masters, and Shopping
The day started with Briana and I taking Kota on his first beach walk. On the boardwalk to cross the dunes we were greeted by a somewhat friendly deer. She was standing maybe 15′ away from us and she was not phased by the dog. We stood and watched as she and her little one…
Kiawah, South Carolina
The car was packed and we rolled out of Northern Virginia at 5:30am. First stop Rocky Mount, North Carolina to meet up with our travel companions the Potts. The drive was a breeze so early in the morning, but the rain made for some tense moments as I attempted to pass large trucks as they…
Kiawah: Where has the time gone?
Where has the time gone since my last post? We’ve expanded our family by adding a 4-legged friend. We’ve added an amazing outside living space to our home. And I’ve planned 3 new adventures for our family. The first adventure will take us south to Kiawah Island, South Carolina. The second takes us to Bald…
Gotta love the airlines
We departed our villa this morning bright and early at 6am for the 3 hour trek to the airport in San Jose. But not before we took 2 final pics of this amazing view. So sad to be leaving this place. Unfortunately once we arrived we found out our flight home was 3 hours delayed….
