One of the Hayes family’s favorite ways to usher in the Fall is to pack a picnic basket and head to Fort Wilderness at the first sign of sub 100 degree weather. This year was no different. We got our drinks and snacks packed and ready to go, stopped at the brand new Jersey Mike’s Subs on Narcoossee (they were… Read more »
I am not sure why it has taken me so long to take the plunge on grilling pizza but I regret my delay. Maybe it was the fear of completely torching the crust that kept me away. Or maybe it was just the fact that you can’t really argue with the years of success of the well-known kitchen appliance… the… Read more »
It was roughly three years ago when Hunter got the itch to try his hand at pet ownership. At the time we thought fish would be a great foray into this venture because how hard is it to keep a fish alive, right? Turns out we have a gift for short stories when it comes to tales of fish. This… Read more »
Our weekend got off to a nice relaxing start as Hunter got to crash with Grandma and PopPa on Friday night and Emily and I enjoyed some wings from the Nona Tap Room. A pretty healthy end to a day that started with Breakfast Burritos from the Wawa which opened down the street on Thursday. We enjoyed our dinner… Read more »

Day three on the Disney Dream was yet another perfect day on the ship. When we awoke we were still making our way to the island of Nassau in the Bahamas. Due to the fact that we made the most out of the first two days everyone was quite tired and not chomping at the bit to spring out of bed… Read more »
I would argue there is no better place in the world to wake up than Castaway Cay. Even though the weather was a bit overcast it still was truly awesome to be docked at the amazing island. Emily was smart and had ordered a few things from room service to help tide us over until breakfast (only on a cruise… Read more »
Today was the day we had been looking forward to for a while – Disney Dream embarkation day for our 5 day cruise to the Bahamas! Emily did her usual amazing job getting us packed and prepared for five days of fun and sun at sea. We spent the morning locating and crossing off items on her laminated packing lists… Read more »
I am sure it comes as no surprise that Saturday is by far my favorite day of the week. Today was no exception. We started the day with our weekly visit to Brooklyn Water Bagels in Winter Park which I mentioned in my post from last weekend. Sawyer and I got our regular orders and enjoyed our drive across town together…. Read more »
