Trip Back Home

My sister, Angela, was getting married and it had been a while since we'd seen family so we decided to take a trip back home.


Alyssa was already with Mama Jay and Papa Oz so I had Natalie and Samara on the drive up. Micah had to do some stuff for work so it was just the three girls on our way.


It took us two days to get there. The girls finally decided to sleep on the second day.


When we got to Papa Ozzie's house the girls had to go on a motorcycle ride.


Nattie's a bit too little yet so she danced and did yoga in the driveway while the other two did their rides.

Samara on her first real ride.

Besides the motorcycle Mara fell in love with Maisy, the family's pet Dachshund. Grandpa Ozzie was nice enough to give her to us as our family pet. We are pretty sure we are going to take her back home but we've told the kids that she is their dog but we might leave her for Grandpa Ozzie to take care of just in case we decide she'll be too much for us before we leave.

Nattie was supposed to be taking a nap and she had woken up early on this day apparantly and got into markers. She got it all over her legs! It came off in the hot tub though so no worries.

At Melissa's house this is Madison and Natalie playing. It was a miracle since the whole time the two of them were together they competed for everything. If Nattie said my daddy so did Madison. If Madison said my Grandma then Nattie wanted her Grandma too. It was so awesome to see them actually play really well together.

St Michaels

A couple old houses in St Michaels. This town is a really historic town and has a lot of stuff from the war of 1812. It's really neat to look at all the old houses. If you look closely they have a plaque on the outside that says who used to live there and all that.


This was a weird sign I thought. It says "Food and drink, strollers, and four legged friends more than welcome!" Just odd because normally it's the other way around.

Our Anniversary

This was one of the historic sites when we went on a 90 minute cruise on the Miles River which is part of hte Chesapeake Bay Estuary.

This is another historic house that has a Widow's Walk. It's where wives of sailors would pace back and forth watching for their husband to come home from sea. I knew that before but I forgot about them.

A picture of us to prove that we were really on the boat. ;-) It was fun but quite windy.

Our Anniversary

This is outside the Maritime Museum that we didn't have enough time for.

Eating crabs at the Crab Claw. This restaurant was a ton better than the one we went to the night before. Look at the smile on my face. :-)

Us together!!! Wow we're a good looking couple.

Our Anniversary

Getting ready for a wonderful evening at the Crab and Steak House.



Micah and Kim at the Crab and Steak House thinking that it's going to be great food.


The restaurant wasn't good at all. Micah ordered a Tuna steak and it was purple all the way through. I ordered a beef steak medium and I got it and it was purple and cold just brown on the outside. I had them take it back and cook it more and it wasn't very flavorful when I got it back. It was quite expensive so I was really disappointed.


We went to Tilghman Island which is farther down. We saw a boat that said Miss Kim on it so we had to take a picture.



In Tilghman Island we saw what I thought were a couple teenage girls that were driving a golf cart down the middle of the road with their dog running along side of them. It was funny.

Our Anniversary

We went to St Michaels for our anniversary this last weekend since our anniversary was on the 18th of May. It was cool. We stayed at an inn right on the water on a peninsula type thing. It was so windy when we came up that the waves were huge in the bay.

This is the volleyball court right outside our hotel room.


This is the hotel room and our van.


The beautiful water.
