Dinner Infused With Children

The Murdock's, a family that we met here in Frederick and quickly became good friends with, have five children under the age of seven - including twin girls.  Needless to say, any time with them is never dull. 

Our two plus their five keep us on our toes.

The Brady Bunch has nothing on this crew.

Living Room Flash Mob

After dinner and conversation with our friends, that have five children under the age of 7, their living room turned into an impromptu dance scence that closely resembled a flash mob - a pleasant surprise for us.

Snow? In October? What the What?

To The Trails

A nice twenty minute drive over the mountains, a small hike up a tiny portion of the Appalachian Trail, and one switch-back on a trail and we made it to a local monument I had been wanting to check-out for some time.  The George Washington State Park and monument was worth the effort.

A fantastic view of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Maryland made the hike up the steep steps well worth it.

Fall on the Farms

One of the more surprising aspects of the area that we live in, is the amount of agricultural land that is still actively used.  Within a 10-mile radius of us, there are easily 10-12 farms you can visit anytime of the year; however, the best time is now.  All the farms open their gates and allow the public to enjoy what they work all year for.

Boo-Day Cupcakes

Fresh off the plane on their visit, we headed over the river to Georgetown to surprise Boo with a trip to Georgetown Cupcakes, made famous from DC Cupcakes on tv.  Typically, I'm not a huge fan of "celebrity" style eateries - but the goodies here are hands down some of the best cupcakes this kid ever shoved in his mouth. 

My recommendation: Key Lime and wash it down with a Coconut to follow.
