We're in Maryland this week. We drove up from Florida with my mom. Noah thinks he's big enough to help drive. Do we have another car fanatic on our hands?
So, when I was a little girl, my family would drive by South of the Border when we were on vacation. If you've never driven up I95, there are TONS of exciting signs that advertise this place. It looked like it would be SO much fun for kids! It's kinda like a fair with rides and lots of tourist trap shops. But would my parents stop and let me see it? Nope! So I guess I mentioned this one day recently, and my mom decided that on this trip, we would stop and visit. Well, we arrived when all the rides were closed and it really is pretty dinky, but we had fun taking pictures. And now, at 30, I can say I've been to South of the Border. (Though I'm sure it would have been more exciting 20 years ago, when I first wanted to go.)

Wow, Cody's growing up! Some of you will remember that we took Cody to Disney World in Sept of last year. He was afraid of almost all of the rides, statues and he even freaked out in the "It's a Small World" ride. Well, yesterday we all went to the Natural History Museum in DC. I wasn't sure he would make it in the front door with all of the statues. But he did great! He even let me take some pictures of him being so brave in front of the dinosaur bones. He's really at a great age to take places like this. He wanted us to read all of the signs about each exhibit and he had so many questions! I love watching him learn!
He also enjoyed the rock section. You'll notice that he carried around his museum map the whole time!
