Just returned from a nice Sunday bike ride with really weird Florida weather. It’s sunny outside, light breeze, not too hot. My little Patrick and I rode behind our subdivision to the “horses” and spotted a rainbow!! We kept riding and saw the horses. And it started raining, like really raining. Patrick got off his…
June 2013: 152.75 miles – 78,110 pounds lifted This month was filled with lots of outdoor bike adventures around Marco Island and at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Campground. It’s been very hot, humid and stormy here in Central Florida to get in a lot of road time. Lots of road miles, but not a lot of…
The night was bound to be exciting. I was seeing 98 Degrees…my sister was seeing her loves, NKOTB. When people in my family like something, we REALLY like something. We tend to see the line of obsession, and then jump over it. We really, really love to love what we love. Around sixth grade, my…
Ah…vacation. You never last as long as I would like. It’s our annual vacation spot. One week in a rental house on the beach. It’s perfect. I just wish it would last longer. Days are filled with bike rides, fishing, eating, drinking and pooling. That’s about it. There’s a great spot the boys love to…
Marco Island is one of our favorite vacation spots. I used to come here as a kid, as my aunt and her (much older children) also lived on the island. As an adult, it just randomly happened that my in-laws friends have a house to rent on the island, and it turned into our family…
I’m on vacation. I’ve been here for 24 hours and I’ve already read two books. Now that’s what I call vacation! While we are here at the beach, we basically sit by the pool all day, play, drink, eat and read. So it’s important I find good books. What normally happens is that I get…
One week from today I’ll be at the Amway Center in Orlando with a bunch of 30/40 something’s pretending I’m a teen again with New Kids on the Block, Boys to Men and 98 Degrees. Honestly, I could care less about the first two. For me, it’s all about the Lachey boys. When I tell…
There are few things I enjoy more than a morning bike ride where I can explore. I get bored with the same old, but love to ride and find new places, trails and adventures. We recently went camping at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Campground. We’ve gone before, but this is the first time I’ve brought my…
I don’t think I was put on this earth to camp. I mean, I can do it and actually don’t mind it. And by camping I mean I sleep in a tent, use a real bathroom and have access to food cooked for me. We camped for one night with the Cub Scouts- and that…
It’s hard to believe another school year has come to an end. It’s also the time of year that I consider becoming a teacher because I would love a summer off! Our school year ended with the typical rush of activities, parties and running around trying to get gifts. It also ended with some happy…and…
