Stepniowski Family

Every few years, the Phillips clan gathers together to catch up on all that’s new.  When my grandmother was alive, it seems she insisted that this event take place much more often, but I guess everyone does the best they can with busy schedules and such.
The Phillips clan, as I refer to them, is essentially [...]

Labor Day is always a significant time of the year for Luke and I because the 1st is our anniversary.  I’m proud to say that we’ve been married eight years now and still going strong!  With two kids, the anniversary celebration this year included take-out thai from Jasmine eaten over a vinyl tablecloth and both kids [...]

After eight nights away from home, I can say that we were ready to wrap up the vacation and sleep in our own beds.  But, we had one last pit stop at Stone Mountain, GA to go.  It was a one night stop that was supposed to break up the trip back to Tampa.
We had [...]

The 3rd pit stop on our southeast road trip was Helen, GA.  It was a lot closer to Asheville, NC than I thought so we were there in no time at all.
For this leg of the tour, we opted to rent a cabin.  I found Blue Ridge Cabin Rentals online and booked their “Natural High” cabin.  We had [...]

From Savannah, we loaded up once again for the 2nd leg of our southeast road trip.  Our destination was Biltmore, in Asheville, NC.  The Vanderbilt estate is something I’ve always wanted to check out, and it was just far enough away from Savannah to avoid any issues with the kids in the car.  With the Nuvi [...]

The first stop on our southeast road tour was Savannah, GA.  I've always wanted to check it out, and it seemed like a perfect pit stop on what would be our nine day adventure. 
The drive up went fairly quickly, although the "are we there yet?" comments did start about two hours in.  Fortunately, Luke had purchased [...]

Tomorrow morning, the Stepniowski clan will hit the road in our pimpin’ new mini van.  Pit stops include:

Savannah, GA

We’re staying in the historic district and hope to do the nightly Ghost Hunters Tour.

Asheville, NC

We’re staying at Biltmore for a few days and hoping to explore Grandfather Mountain.  I’m also hoping Skye and Aidan will be [...]

For the last few days of Spring Break, we ventured over to Orlando for some Disney style camping and entertainment.
Friday (4/10) – Aidan couldn’t wait to leave, so we left early and went to Downtown Disney.  The new restaurant T-Rex had opened, so we decided to eat lunch there.  The restaurant itself is essentially Rainforest Cafe [...]

I kept Aidan out of school for Spring Break this year so we could hang out and have some fun together.  With VPK, we haven’t been able to just take time off like we used to, and I admit I’ve been a little less available for Aidan since Skye was born.  It took me some time to [...]
