June 29, 2015 Sunday

Today we ate Fruity Pebbles for breakfast. Then we went to Hirshhorn Sculpture Garden and then we went on a carousel.

Now we’re in a museum called The National Museum of American History. We ate lunch at the cafeteria part of the museum. Then we went on a 3-D simulator in the museum which was fun cause it felt like we were on a roller coaster. Now we’re walking around the museum…

Now we’re at a museum called The National Museum of Natural History. It’s soo cool! Tonight we’re go to Boltz Burgers again. Yummy!

This last photo is of me and Pam. Pam is my friend Natalie’s friend and we were both on The Mall at the same time. We had never met. So we both stopped what we were doing, met at the Carousel, Sadie snapped the pic and we were all on our way, in under 3 minutes! We have a lot in common and I look forward to spending more than 3 minutes with her in the near future!

Today I woke up Soooooo tired!!! but I think I’m up now because we’re eating breakfast!! XD! But I’m SO hungry, so I’m having waffles, bacon and orange juice. So Yum!

We just finished looking at the Woman’s art Museum and now we’re watching something at the Indian Museum. We’re waiting for something to happen. The show is going to be about the Indians, there is three girls and two boys. They’re doing the introduction and singing.

We went into a gaming center type of thing for Indian culture. So here’s a drawing of a tipi:

The SPace Museum was so cool!!! Did you know The Night at the Museum sequel was partly filmed in the Space Museum?

I had chicken tenders for dinner with a side of fries, you probably know what I had for a drink… LoL!

I can’t wait to see you guys again, I love you guys to the moon and back!

I had dessert tonight and it was a vanilla ice cream cone with chocolate drizzled on top with peanut bits. It was A – to the M – to the Azing! Yummy!!! Right now we’re watching Dispicable Me.

The End… Sadie Rose

Day 2 – Epic Summer Roadtrip with Momma

Posted on June 27, 2015 by flamidwyfe

Up early and Teri and I made a yummy breakfast of eggs, bacon, strawberries, blueberries, pineapple and cherries.

Bags packed, hugs and thanks given and back on the road! We stopped at the borders of FL/GA and GA/SC. And a long stop at South of the Border!

I have so many fond memories of SOB. I’ve stayed at the carport motel several times (the last time with my friend Julie and her kids Jonah and Avery and our “niece” Aja Raine in 2003 on a very similar road trip).

While there we visited the Reptile Museum that had lots of gators, crocs, snakes and other critters. We had a great time feeding the little gators.

We then stayed the night in the grubbiest Days Inn EVER, in Raleigh, NC. They aren’t going to be happy with my review. We all woke up with smokers cough this morning! LOL

Pizza Hut for dinner for the kids. Asleep by 10!

Day 1 – Epic Summer Roadtrip with Momma

Posted on June 26, 2015 by flamidwyfe

And we’re off! I’ve loaded up my brand new 2015 Ford Escape for an epic 21 day East Coast Roadtrip with 3 of my grandgirlies.

Day 1 took us from home in Stuart, FL to a fun 5 hours in St. Augustine. We parked in the garage at the Visitirs Center for $12 (car stayed cool!) and spent about 30 minutes viewing the exhibits in the center.

We then started our 6 km walk, first stop the oldest wooden school house in America (can’t remember admission price), stopping at the fort ($10 for me, free for the kids), lunch at the White Lion and a long stroll down St. George St, stopping for ice cream. We stopped back at the car for some water and then the kids played on the “Swing” log playground for 30 minutes.

We then headed 40 minutes north for an overnight stay at my friend Teri’s house. The girls swam with her daughter and then Mike treated us to a lovely Mexican dinner at La Nopalera.

Fantastic day!!!
