Spring Break 2025: Stirling & Wigtown

Our next adventure was to the town of Stirling

 Stirling Castle was a delight to explore!

Chris had heard about this Keep Smiling sign on a building in town

Afternoon gin tasting 

William Wallace Monument

Our last day's journey was across Scotland to its National Book Town: Wigtown

Chris was thrilled to meet the owner of The Book Shop who is also an author of some favorite books.

We enjoyed a few hours of wandering through other books stores, eating lunch, and reading in the park.  Later on that afternoon we had a tour and tasting at Bladnoch, Scotland's southern most whisky distillery 

Spring Break 2025: St. Andrews & Edinburgh

Spring Break 2025 took us to Scotland! 

As soon as we landed on Sunday afternoon, we headed to St. Andrews.  On Sundays, The Old Course is open to the public to walk.  Needless to say, the Kasparek golfers were in heaven! 

The famous Swilcan Bridge on the 18th hole

Enjoyed a pint of beer at The Dunvegan

Monday was our day to explore Edinburgh. We wandered through the park near the castle on our way to Holyrood.

Tour of the Palace of Holyrood

We walked up the Royal Mile to the castle

We took a little drive to see the Rosslyn Chapel

Camden wanted to go for a run, so we found a pub in the next town over for him to meet us.  

The Masons Arm had the BEST pub dog! 💗

Life Lately: March 2025 Edition

As the Italians say, Marzo pazzo, has lived up to its name!  It's been a busy month for the Kasparek family...

The NJROTC cadets had a fundraiser selling Leprechaun Grams for St. Patrick's Day. 

Guess who delivered them to all the students?! 🍀

Starting Senior Soccer Season

I've blinked and here we are at Camden's final high school sports season. We kicked off soccer with a road trip to Rome to play MMI.

The Wildcats played their hearts out, but came up short 3-4

Here are a few pictures of Camden playing defense

Proud of our favorite Wildcat!

Game 2 was our home opener at Carney Park against Aviano

Our starting goalie is dealing with a hand injury, and the backup goalie was sick all week, so guess who played his Dad's old position? 😉

Maria, Sherri, Amy, and I enjoying the game

Amazing 8-1 victory for the Wildcats
