Ice Skating during February Vacation

March 3, 2016 |

February vacation was lots of fun. My trick to spend time with Helena is to take her out of the house. Otherwise she disappeared over to the neighbors to “play with the girls”. So when I did get her attention we did fun things like eat ice cream, pizza, mac and cheese (our special recipe), watch movies (theater and home) and some not so fun like go to the dentist.

July 29, 2014 |

On the way up to Acadia we went back to my favorite Pizza place, George’s Pizza, in Auburn, ME. They truly have the best pepperoni pizza in New England. They didn’t disappoint.

Myrtle Beach Update

April 21, 2010

We are having a good time on our vacation down here in Myrtle Beach. Helena is not overly impressed with the ocean and has no desire to get her feet wet, but that hasn’t stopped dad from trying. We toured some gardens yesterday that were absolutely beautiful. They were about an hour away and it…
