Cape Hatteras Lighthouse

July 25, 2017 By Becca Leave a Comment

THE most iconic Outer Banks landmark is none other than the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. Our visit lasted all of 10 minutes because O is too small to climb (must be 42″) and the boys rushed through the museum. In their defense, I don’t like museums much either.  Climbing the lighthouse IS on my lifelong bucket list […]

Fairmount Park- Centennial Arboretum

Fairmount Park- Centennial Arboretum

May 29, 2021 By Becca Leave a Comment

What kind of mental picture do you get when you think of Philadelphia? Big cities are such a juxtaposition between beauty and filth in my personal opinion. Everywhere you look there are piles of trash, graffiti, and dilapidated buildings. Philly has more than its' fair share of those things BUT it … [Read More...]
