Visiting Becker Farm | Apple Picking Part 1

Monday, October 21, 2024

Two things that I love about Fall season is crisp fresh cold air and going down to the farm for apple  Over the past many years we try to explored many local and beautiful farms around the area. And for couple years it was all the more exciting as we were able to take our little boy with us. Becker Farm is a place we would visit twice each year. But recently we put it in a rotation with other farms that are just as fun and a better value.

 

Becker Farms is quite the establishment for all your fall fun activities. But the entrance fee can be quite expensive to get the full experience. Some main attraction was to sample some of their wines and ciders. Check out the farm animals and get some apple goodies. The apples are plentiful on the trees but are not labeled as to which variety they are . Not to mention an area to watch live music outside and plenty of shade to sit in while listening to the music.


 

Visited the Strasenburgh Planetarium in Rochester

Friday, August 23, 2024

Since our little boy is into science and tends to always talk about the planets and moon. We decided to take him to the planetarium. It was well worth the drive and we ended up watching "Forward! To the moon". The Space shows designed for children (young and old) that identify major stars, constellations, and the movement of the planets  a great way to introduce the planetarium to younger audiences.

 

A trip to the Strasenburgh Planetarium is always enjoyable in all ages.

Visited Alabama Gulf Shores Beach

Saturday, April 13, 2024

If you want that white sandy beach and blue ocean but don't want the crowd of Panama City and Destin, Florida come to Gulf Shores. We typically visit Florida beaches at least twice a year, but  this time we decided to split up and go somewhere new this time. At this point in our trip we stop over to Gulf Shores Alabama. 

 

Gulf Shores Beach is absolutely beautiful. If you are a beach lover you will be so happy at Gulf Shores Beach. The sand is white and sugar fine. There are so many spots you can find to chill and relax and enjoy the sound of the waves. We parked across the street in a public lot. There are nice spots to shower off the sand and salt. There are also several large sails which provide shade if you are like me and have to watch that toasty Gulf sunshine. There are lots of bars and restaurants along the beach. We were surprised to find reasonable prices for very delicious seafood.


Definitely a beautiful beach. It was cool on this day, but we needed to see the ocean and make memories.

Niagara Falls A natural Wonder of our World

Sunday, October 29, 2023

Niagara Falls is one of the reasons why we came back to Buffalo. Truly a beautiful place that will leave you breathless. And there are lots to do. If you are visiting as family group, there's definitely something for you and the kiddos to do beyond Niagara Falls nearby. All of the power of the water flowing and imagining people have gone over the US side in a barrel and survived. Spectacular that you deserve to walk around and take so many selfies. There's also the boat ride and zip line too. Such a must see in your bucket list of this grand majestic freak of nature to marvel upon.

 

The Falls are truly a sight to behold for an hour or even just a few minutes.

Visiting the Nashville Zoo

Monday, February 27, 2023

The Nashville Zoo is so great! We've been here numerous times for couple of years, just to visit on a typical day. We really enjoyed our experiences here. The zoo is located outside of downtown Nashville. I highly recommend ordering tickets before arriving to the zoo or get the Annual Pass.  Waiting in line wasn't fun and wasted a good amount of time. No discounts for tickets other than if a person is a veteran or member of the zoo. But children under two are free.

 

Walking paths were decently shaded, so not stuck in the hot sun for too long while walking around. This bamboo trail was the coolest part.

Visiting The Real Up House

Wednesday, July 6, 2022

I am sure you have seen the Disney's movie Up that came out in 2009 that tells the story of Carl and the new adventure he is able to embark on with balloons to take his home, in hopes of making it to Paradise Falls. The movie had so much heart and is a favorite of mine. This real UP House is an exact replica of Carl and Ellie’s house; except it won't float away.

 

This house was built in 2011 and the local developer actually acquired the exclusive rights and authorization from Walt Disney Corporation to build it. This house has the exact same colors, style and charm that Carl and Ellie's home had too. The developer, Blair Bangerter, who built this home actually had no plans to sell the home but ended up selling it to the Hamblin family.


Adventure is out there!

Family Spring Break Vacation for 2022

Wednesday, June 15, 2022
Every day should be a beach day.

 

Destin is one of our all-time favorite spring break getaways. One of the best beaches in the Florida. We recently stayed at the Embassy Suites Hotel Destin Miramar Beach.  We were very impressed with the hotel, the complimentary breakfast with a delicious buffet as well as made to order omelets, and eggs.  It comes with two complimentary drinks per guest, this was a definite bonus! The hotel is very clean and very open concept which we loved. We enjoyed the beach and the restaurant across the road was very convenient as well.  Excellent customer service. The room was very comfortable and spacious. We want to come back here again sometime soon.

Visit the Liberty Grace Farm

Monday, April 11, 2022

Tucked away in Columbia, there's a beautiful field of tulips on a family-owned, 80-acre farm and vineyard. Liberty Grace Farm planted more than 60,000 new bulbs with 13 different varieties this year for families to head out to the farm, pick their own bouquets of tulips, take pictures, and enjoy the picnic tables and lawn games.


Admission for the festival is $10 per person, which includes three free tulips. Children two years old and under is free, tulips are $1.50 per stem.

 


 You can find vibrant blooms in yellow, deep reds, pinks and purples throughout the fields.

Taking our toddler to the beach - Florida Getaway

Thursday, August 26, 2021

The beach is one of the best places for a couple to relax and to take your toddler because there’s nowhere to hide and plenty of visibility.  Toddlers will enjoy the sunshine and fresh air and you’ll enjoy getting a tan. Just like our little boy this is probably our toddler’s first real vacation... at least where he is more mobile.  So we let him lead the way, get dirty and have fun.  If you let your little one lead their way you may be surprised at where you end up.

 

It was early April when we  took our boy on a spontaneous trip to the beach to unwind and change of scenery as well.

Visiting Yellowstone National Park

Wednesday, June 9, 2021

Everyone has to go to Yellowstone Nations Park. It is the world's first national park and one of the largest it is spread throughout 3 states Wyoming, Montana and Idaho.  Luckily you will always be in the mountain time zone, so really does it matter whether you are in Montana, Idaho, or Wyoming?  Just know that you are in a very special place.  So close to so much geothermal activity and incredible nature.   Out of all the national parks we've visited, Yellowstone has the most wildlife and diverse terrain, there is so much to do here. Conveniently enough, there is loop road you can follow to visit all of Yellowstone's main attractions.

 

We got to go in early October which is the off season. There were still a fair amount of people there. But I believe covid had everyone wanting to go outside. Never an issue finding parking, pulling over or seeing any of the animals. Everyone that was visiting was respectful to the animals and the other visitors allowing room for everyone to enjoy the park.

 

The pictures do not do it any justice, the colors of this hot spring are so vivid in person.
