Meandering in Washington D.C.

  Synara wanted to see the White House and Alejandra wanted to see the Lincoln Memorial, so we went back to Washington D.C. We chose a circle that would begin going to the Lincoln Memorial and then to the other side to the Capitol, with the White House and other...

Shopping in Baltimore

Today, after church, and listening to my son’s message in church, the girls and I went to Baltimore for some shopping. One having nothing to do with the other, I should add. 🙂 Traveling along 295 North into Baltimore, we were quickly slowed and stopped by….we didn’t know what. A...

Slideshow Scenes of our Day in New York City

The day arrived Chris and I took the girls to New York City. It was HOT and the buses weren’t cooperative. The Megabus at least kept us informed of the changes, but Chris and I decided that we will never take the Green tour bus ever again! See the slide...

Earleigh Heights Fire Department Carnival

It’s that time of year again. The weather is hot, the air is sultry and humid, it must be time for the Carnival! This year it worked out that I got to take Silas and Rubí with an added bonus of taking Alejandra and Synara, too!

Independence Day Cupcakes

Another Visit to the Baltimore Aquarium

Someone once told me that I’ve been way too many times to our National Aquarium, but besides the price, I really do like it there. This outing was a bit disappointing, since they are making changes and we missed the dolphins, but there is always something wonderful to see.

Orioles Baseball Game

Alejandra’s father mentioned that he wanted his daughter to have the “full” American experience, like, what could be more American than a baseball game? Better than that, the Orioles were playing the Yankees this weekend! So Miquel, Jenny, and Laura took Alejandra and Synara to an Oriole baseball game. In...

good bye to Alejandra 0

Fins un altre

I told Alejandra, I wouldn’t say good-bye, I’d say, “Until the next time.” We should be used to good-byes around here, but they’re never easy for me. She made it back to Spain and this morning when I woke up, her room seemed SO EMPTY. Well, she might not be...

Harpers Ferry with Alejandra and Jenny

For our last outing before Alejandra had to leave, I decided on one of my most favorite places on earth, Harpers Ferry. For our trip we ended up having rain, so to protect my camera,  photo taking was unfortunately at a minimum. I do have many posted here from other...

Ocean City with Alejandra

It was a beautiful, hot, sunny day to go to Ocean City…the skies were blue, perfect day to escape to the Beach. Laura had wisely asked Alejandra which places did she want to see most. It’s a good thing to know since sometime you can’t fit all the places you...

Cupcakes

Alejandra was fascinated with the cupcake shops in Annapolis, so I decided we should make the time to bake some cupcakes and decorate them!

Baltimore Aquarium 2

Baltimore Harbor and the Aquarium

Sunday after church we organized to go to Baltimore’s Aquarium. Doing it this way, Miquel and Jenny wouldn’t have work and could go too. In fact, Miquel did the driving, which was perfect for me. He put on Queen radio, and a few Queen, Journey, and Bon Jovi songs later,...

Naval Academy in Annapolis

Yesterday, Lisa took Alejandra and I on a tour of the Naval Academy. It had been ages since I had been there, so it was like learning about it all over again for me. Before we crossed the Naval Academy bridge, we had a stop on the scenic overlook. (Click...

Washington DC

Yesterday, Alejandra, Laura, Miranda, Silas and I went to Washington D.C. We wanted to give Alejandra a chance to see the White House and the Capitol, which she had asked to see. Her father suggested she would also like the Natural History Museum, too.

Alejandra Meets the Chesapeake

Yesterday during our walk, Alejandra noticed how many people owned boats. I explained to her how much water surrounded us in this part of Maryland. This morning after showing her a map of our rivers, the Bay, and how it all leads to the Ocean, we decided on this hot...

Mailboxes and Squirrels

So as long as I can remember, a favorite thing to do with a new friend was to take a walk to the beach. Yesterday, after a day of shopping at Arundel Mills Mall (which Alejandra LOVED by the way), we decided we hadn’t done enough walking and took the...

Alejandra Arrives

We have an addition to the family, at least for the next few weeks. Alejandra arrived Thursday afternoon. She was ready for bed early, but she tried to stay awake at least till 9 o’clock. She just couldn’t do it. After a day of travel, she went to bed at...
