first year without my parents and going to monroe was a tradition my kids loved more than anything. parade on the tv, playing in the leaves all morning, tossing a football around, eating the best oyster dressing ever with all my weird assortment of family, usually a fire in the fireplace, one year i remember they watched the 'fosters home for imaginary friends' movie during the day and that night we often treated them to a movie.

not having that, we are just going to be a small family of 4 this year and i plan to kick it off with a long romp in bowie park with the kids and dogs and a thermos of coffee
