 Today’s post comes from Marnie! Marnie is a wife, mom, daughter, twin, little sister, career woman, runner and writer for Carrots are Orange. She hails from Maine, a wonderfully down to earth place to grow up. Marnie moved to the west coast in 1999, and currently lives in Seattle. // < ![CDATA[ // < ![CDATA[ [...] Several weeks ago, LivingSocial had a deal I couldn’t pass up – a year’s membership to Old Sturbridge Village for $45, less than it costs to take our family there once! I had heard good things about this living history village, so we bought the membership! We finally made it out there for [...] Emma was a very lucky girl, this past Saturday! She and I drove out to Fashion Playtes headquarters in Beverly, MA – a neat company that makes cute, basic clothing that girls aged 5-12 can accessorize to create their favorite look. We had been sent a store credit code to pick out some Fashion [...] Thanks to some unseasonably gorgeous weather, we spent Wednesday afternoon at Stone Zoo. We were so excited to see this mama and baby Gibbon! They were the last thing we saw, and well worth the wait! Isn’t this little baby adorable? We were amazed at how well the little baby hung on while [...] Our final stopping point before continuing home from our trip to Montreal was Sugarbush Farm in Vermont. Mike and Emma visited this farm with my dad in 2007. I stayed home with two-week-old Johnny, and I’ve been wanting to go there ever since! I love farms, and this one was no exception. It’s [...] On Saturday, we went to visit Magic the horse! First, the kids fed horse cookies to Magic’s friend. Magic was in the barn. He got cookies, too. Then they brushed Magic. Lily was scared, and would only stand outside the barn. Soon she decided that horses are pretty cool! Although, [...] On our way home, we stopped in at the Vermont Toy Museum in Quechee Gorge Village. I really wanted to take Johnny to the train museum, but it seemed to be closed due to pouring rain. Emma and Johnny were most enthralled by the toy robots! Lily was all about the baby dolls. [...] While driving through Vermont on our way home from Montreal, we couldn’t resist stopping in for a Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream factory tour. We watched a short film about the company, admired the factory floor (not working the day we were there as their employees were off doing volunteer work), and were treated [...] The Biodome was a highlight for all of us from our time in Montreal! Featuring five different ecosystems (Tropical Rainforest, Laurentian Maple Forest, Gulf of St. Lawrence, Labrador Coast, and Sub-Antarctic Islands), it is an amazing journey through different parts of the world and the animals that inhabit it, all encased within a giant dome. [...] This week was awesome!!! I love to travel, and I love to go overseas. Having spent most of my formative years (age 7 to 18) overseas, in some ways it is more familiar to be abroad than at home. Montreal was especially fun, since it is a French-speaking city. It was nice for the [...] |
