WHAT: Art and Crafts Festival + Wine WHERE: Boordy Vineyards WHEN: June 1, 2013 This is our 4th year with the Gunpowder River Artfest and we couldn't be more excited to spend the day at this event.

We want Spring. We want it now. So today we headed out to Patapsco State Park on a mission. We wanted to find a place to go camping later in the season (they have tent sites and cabins), but more importantly, we wanted Spring. Admittedly, we are pushing things a bit. There is barely any green to be found. But still, it's in the air. As we started to explore the trails, we discovered some amazingly steep hills. This trip is not for the stroller set, but my kids are officially big kids now. The twins (age 8 now) are... Continue reading

We greatly appreciate tweets, ratings or reviews on the app store. And good old-fashioned word of mouth?... Continue reading
