Staunton, BBQ, Races, & Snow Days

Whew, the last two weeks have been yet another whirlwind in the life of the Goldsmith family!  Nathan and I have been very busy getting things together, trying to organize our living space to a state of comfort, and planning trips to take in the next few months. Learning the…

Hawaii Take 2 (Oahu & Maui)

Much-delayed update from my second trip to the beautiful Hawaiian islands.  This time we ventured to Maui, which was a spectacular end to the week.  Beautiful scenery and nothing but sunny days, it was as to be expected.  Seeing Nathan was a nice perk, too! Saturday, August 4 4AM…

Atlantic City Adventures

Last week Nathan took a flight home for the 4th, and stayed until the 8th.  We wanted to get some wedding things out of the way, so it seemed like the perfect time (especially considering I had the days off of work!). After spending almost four hours at Crate &amp…

An Epic Hawaiian Vacation

  After an exhausting week and a not-so-productive weekend, I think I have finally recovered from what was an EPIC 11-day trip to Hawaii.  The weather was a perfect 80 degrees and sunny (until the last day), the trip was adventure-packed, and the scenery was beautiful…

Wanda’s two months in Aiken

This past weekend I made the 10 hour + trip from Fairfax, VA on Friday after work to Aiken, SC (with an overnight pit stop in Florence, SC), and returned on Sunday. I had originally taken Wanda to Aiken for a few reasons, with the greatest being the fact I have…

My job and Aiken adventures

My last update was December 2nd, and boy has a lot gone on since then! The holidays went without a glitch, and I was lucky to be able to spend Christmas with my family at Millwood this year. Last year I was working in PA, and had to work that…

Update!

The 66th Annual Judy Family Reunion

Today was the 66th annual Judy family reunion in Franklin, West Virginia. It’s about a 2.5 hour drive over a very scary, very curvy mountain to get there. This was my mom’s dad’s family, so we represent his side with my mom&#8217…

Another Day at TPF!

Today I got to ride a horse Phillip owns named Houston, and may be looking to buy. Everyone here thinks I’m crazy because he’s definitely not the easiest horse to ride, but I did flat work with him today and actually felt pretty good. I&#8217…

Home from Litchfield Beach

Home, bittersweet home from the beach! I have to say that this trip was one of the best beach trips we’ve ever taken. There were no “too-much-time-together” disagreements which made the whole trip better! The weather was PERFECT. We got a few storms…
