My boys love water parks. We’ve visited several water parks over the years, and every summer, they beg to go to a water park. This year, we visited a new to us water park, Water Country USA, located in Williamsburg, Virginia. Water Country is owned and operated by SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment. The water park…
We’ve visited Blue Jay Point Park many times but apparently I’ve never share our adventures there. Recently we went on a cold January day with some friends and had a blast exploring the trails, playing in the nature playground and watching Christmas tree being turned into mulch. Unfortunately for us they were renovating their playground…

This walk through exhibit features…
We took an end-of-summer trip to the North Carolina mountains, specifically the Boone/Blowing Rock area. Joe and I have taken many trips to the mountains, but we’ve never taken the kids, so we were excited to share all the fun things the mountains offer. North Carolina is a great state to live in because we…
