During our spring trip to Overland Park, Kansas, the kids and I visited Overland Park Arboretum and Botanical Gardens. What I figured would be, maybe, a 2-hour visit turned into a 5-hour adventure. If it wasn’t for an unfortunate splinter (in Lucia’s finger), we easily could have spent another couple of hours exploring the gardens. […]
All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. Opening of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, established by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on December 10, 1948.

Gettysburg is located in Adams County, in Central Pennsylvania. Only ten miles from the state’s southern border, Gettysburg is just a few hours by car from […]
Go for the hockey, stay for the fun!
