Luray Caverns in July

This past summer, my oldest child was away for an agricultural engineering camp. Whilst the oldest one experienced new and fascinating opportunities, we decided to explore more of Virginia's natural wonders with my second child and newborn son. It's incredible that I haven't visited Luray Caverns since I was in grade school. The same was …

Blacksburg, VA

We took a nice road trip to Blacksburg, VA recently. I love driving south on 81 and the country roads. The views are amazing with picturesque landmarks. The last of Americana before development touches the land on the sides of the roads filled our view. Virginia Tech is in Blacksburg. It's a nice, cute college …

The Journey Not The Destination

Earlier this year, my family visited Smith Mountain Lake in VA for the first time. For the summer, we booked the same cabin as we did in the winter. This time, we made more of a journey of the drive rather than the destination. This is something we need to always keep in mind. It's …

Smith Mountain Lake

This spring break, my family and I took another getaway. It really is quite a feat during these Covid-19 lockdown days. As always, we are very careful. We chose a Virginia destination spot, Smith Mountain Lake. Our rental was a cute cabin found on VRBO. It's in an area called Cedar Key where there are …

I was teaching dance enrichment classes for Prince William County schools for supplemental income while I built my business. This all happened around mid-March …

Not Traveling Right Now

I hope everyone is staying safe. Obviously, I am not traveling at the moment due to the restrictions for COVID-19. That doesn't mean I can't travel through my imagination and through play. We can still connect through social media and online meetings. For those of you with kids at home, I am offering online courses …

Cozumel & Mexico

The summer of 2019 we had a great visit to Mexico. Leaving port in New Orleans, LA (I hadn't been back since before Katrina in 2003) and visiting places like Cozumel and Progresso, Mexico. It was my first time on a Carnival cruise line. The restaurants on board were so accommodating our vegan kids' diets. …

Neabsco Creek Boardwalk & Regional Park

Check out Neabsco Creek Boardwalk which just opened last summer. For the first day of 2020, I got my bottom up and walking on the beautiful boardwalk. I had my son, husband, and two dogs in tow and it was very refreshing. I think this will be a new hiking/biking/dog walking spot for our family …
