Only a few weeks after their actual September 26th anniversary, Shawn and John left the boys with Grams and made a trip “Downeast” to celebrate seventeen years of wedded bliss!
We departed Friday morning for a leisurely drive up the Atlantic coast. Being a bit late in the season and a bit early on a workday, the [...]

Timberman 2009
Posted in Family, Triathlon, Vacation on August 25, 2009 | 1 Comment »
As the Timberman Triathlon Festival approached, we all seemed to have some trouble generating enthusiasm. Shawn was worried about her knee, Josh was worried about the bike, Jake wanted to stay home and enjoy his birthday, and John was feeling under-trained and under motivate – all reasonable objections. Yet we’d signed up so off we [...]

While the boys were away at camp this summer, Shawn got to spend a few days out in the Rochester area visiting with her Uncle Cleon and Aunt Ellie in Webster, NY!
Cleon is Shawn’s mom, Marie’s, brother. Cleon and Ellie have spent Christmas with us the last several years and are a close part of [...]
Joshua Takes On Washington

For the last full week of school, Joshua and about 180 of his closest eighth grade friends took a trip to Washington DC to have some fun and maybe even learn something along the way!
Amongst rumors of spreading Swine Flu, the groggy teens and their chaperones boarded their luxury coaches at 5:30 AM on Monday [...]
Playa Paraiso

Seeking a respite from the cold and snowy New England weather, we pulled the kids from school a day early for the February break and flew off to the Mayan Riviera for a week at the Iberostar Paraiso Maya resort.
It rained for about five minutes during our drive from the airport to the resort but [...]

When our friends, the Spicers, invited us to come along on a trip to New York, things just kinda seemed to fall into place and we decided to make a four day weekend mini-vacation out of it!
So, on a Thursday morning, we dropped the dog at camp, picked up the Spicers, and headed for The [...]
Buongiorno Italia!!!

For the last few years we’ve talked, sometimes fancifully, about the possibility of taking Grampa back to “the old country“, from where his father had come to America in 1902. As his 80th birthday approached, the time seemed more right than it might ever be again. So, last March 29th, we presented him with a somewhat [...]
15 Years and Counting

On September 26th, Shawn and John celebrated their 15th wedding anniversary. The day itself passed with little fanfare. The following weekend, however, they left the boys behind with Grams and took off to the Kennebunks for a weekend of fun!!
(Even though they left the camera behind and returned with but a few cellphone images…) They spent [...]
Utah Rocks!

Once we heard that our cousins were leaving Salt Lake City, we figured it was time for us to visit! So on August 25, we flew off to Utah. After spending a night in the suburbs of SLC, we picked up a rental RV, stocked it full of provisions at a local Wal-Mart, and headed [...]
