Mystry Trips

Growing up a favorite childhood memory of mine are mystery trips.Mom and dad would take us somewhere and we didn't know where we were going til we got there. So keeping that going Bert and I now take our kids on occasional mystery trips.We give hints every 30 mins or to keep the kids thinking.In years past we have gone to the beach, Ocean City MD, Washington DC, NYC, and many other places. Yesterday we took the boys to the Naval Academy in Maryland. The hints were:
*They fly in the air and dive under the sea, all to keep our country free.
*We will visit something old and see something new, their favorite color is
navy blue.

(Bert laughs at my hints but I enjoy thinking them up and the kids love trying to guess). We had a wonderful time walking though museums and around the base. We even saw a sailboat race on the water at the base. What a beautiful day! We ended the day by surprising the kids and taking them to the mall that had a lego store. A little boys dream! All and all it was a wonderful day of creating new family memories.
