Goodbye 2025

Posted on by admin

We had a wonderful time in NYC celebrating by daughters 16th birthday. I’m going to consider that the best part of an otherwise difficult year. We got to see the Empire State Building, Rockefeller, Central Park, broadway (watched a show), MOMA, museum of Illusions and did some shopping at Macey’s before Christmas. Received news on the train trip back that my uncle passed away but didn’t have much time to dwell on it as my wife was going into surgery. It’s been one of those years so I’m going to try and be grateful for what I have and cherish …

Tubing Fun in Harpers Ferry

Posted on by admin

We did a 2 hour whitewater tubing trip in Harpers Ferry today. Our trip started at 10 am and as it turns out, we were the only ones there! I talked to one of the outfitters and he told me that the weekday mornings are very sparse. I didn’t imagine them being this sparse, though! We damn near had the river to ourselves! I saw only 2 other tubers from another rafting company and before we landed I saw a few white water rafters. It was a beautiful day with clear skies and air temp in high 70s. Winding down …

July 4th Lake Liganore

Posted on by admin

We went out to Lake Liganore for the 4th this year, where Heather and Perry took us out on a jaunt around the lake on their boat. There was, however, a new element added to the festivities this year: a paddle board! Now I have never personally been in a paddle board and neither has Meghan. Perry had warned me that his previous guests had difficulty balancing on it. That said, Meghan ambitiously jumped on and wasted no time paddling around. When it was my turn, Perry advised that the balance gets better when you get some speed. Sure enough, …

Fun in Ottawa

Posted on by admin

Pam, Meghan and I are enjoying some time in Ottawa. We did a tour of the Fairmont Château Laurie. Cool side story, we were waiting in the lobby for the tour group and did not see the cast of Lord of the Rings standing just a few feet from us. They were here for a conference. We had to have the rest of the tour group tell us about it later – we felt like idiots!

Vacationing in Western PA

Posted on by admin

We did a grand-tour through PA, starting with two days in Hershey and then we drove out to OhioPyle. We got a big cabin in the woods and explored as much as we could. We did a day of whitewater rafting, took a tour of Falling Water, visited a winery and distillery, visited Fort Necessity, went to the depths of Laurel Caverns, watched the 4th of July fireworks at Deep Creek, and man am I tired! We had a pretty active vacation and I’m glad we got a chance to explore so much. I’m happy to be back
