The Strangest Dinner I Ever Had
We went to a restaurant here at Colonial Williamsburg and it was bizarre to say the least. The waitress was a little nutty and acted strange at times. It was funny, but by the end it was just straight weird. It was one of the experiences that bonds you as a family and creates memories…

Colonial Williamsburg
We made it to our vacation destination! This place is amazing! We went on a haunted tour tonight, which was fantastic. Tomorrow we are doing a program called Women in the Trades and Boy #2 is shooting a musket. He doesn’t know yet, though. I am so excited for him to find out tomorrow afternoon.…

Daily Prompt 3/5/23
Write a letter to your 100-year-old self. Dear Self, I bet you never thought you could live this long, did you? How do you feel? Is getting old as bad as Grandma said it would be? Haha, I wish we could’ve done this the other way around, with you telling me what to do and…

Daily Prompt 3/3/23
What experiences in life helped you grow the most? There’s so many experiences that have helped me grow, but I would say the three biggest experiences are joining the Air Force, having a mental breakdown in 2015, and falling in love with my wife. Joining the Air Force in 2000 would change the next 20+…
