This past week we took a short trip to Long Island, NY to visit some of The Mister’s family and to celebrate Little Bug’s second birthday!

This was Little Bug’s second time on a plane but his first time with his own seat! I am happy to report he did very well. I packed his little carry on bag with a tiny tub of playdoh, a handful of crayons, his favorite stuffie friend, a little book, and a snack. It was just enough to keep him busy during our 1.5 hour flight.

Not a good day for a trip on the Long Island Ferry. Dreary and gray, blah.


Had to take a photo of this cool art installation in Riverhead.

A quick family portrait! :p


Aren’t these beach pebbles yummy? I was sure to grab a few of them with hopes of turning them into some jewelry. Don’t you think they would make lovely rings?

The Sound.



The kids had lots of fun with a handmade “pinata.”




Wonderful pictures, looks like a fun vacation.
Looks like you had a blast.
