It’s so funny because I just spent some time going back through the last eight years, and each costume photo kind of captures the theme of the year and the vibe in my life at that point in time.

My older daughter is going to be Rose from The Titanic this year. Will be posting pics of her costume soon!

Roxanne’s Trip To The Mountains In North Carolina

Each year during late September or early October, we pack up the kids and head to the Blue Ridge Mountains.

It’s nice to just get away from the Florida heat and know that when we come back from our vacation, we only have another month or so of hot weather to endure in Tampa. Here are some photos of some of my favorite moments during last year’s trip.

So much fun and I will very shortly be adding photos from our 2022 trip.

My daughter and I found some pumpkins outside of Starbucks.

Everywhere in town has a total autumn vibe to it.


My daughter loves this bear on the balcony.

She was giving it a bath.


Have you heard of Grandfather Mountain?

At 5,946 feet (1,812 m), it is the highest peak on the eastern escarpment of the Blue Ridge Mountain.


I can't begin to tell you how scary this bridge is..

You could see it moving in the wind, and it totally freaked me out.


Doug and my older daughter were brave enough to cross the rickety bridge.

But I couldn't do it. My baby and I stayed back.


This is another really cool part of Grandfather Mountain.

You will get to see bears.

This is a way back in time throwback.

Sometime in the 80's...me and my little sis as Kermit and Miss Piggy. My Mom made these costumes.

When we weren't even thinking about having kids...We were just about partying and having a good time.

I was very focused on my career at this point...working a full time job in radio and part time on TV. My co-host Debra and I dressed as Elsa and Anna. The funny thing is I hadn't even seen the movie Frozen.

It's the year of our love for Elsa. My daughter became obsessed with Elsa.

We had a new baby, Davianna, to celebrate the holiday with, but...

...was also the year that kicked off Covid, so it was a hodgepodge of a Halloween. We didn't trick-or-treat. Just stood outside and ate candy, and we were pretty low-key with costumes. This is an unidentifiable raggedy princess costume.

And that adorable ladybug costume saw the light of day again (or a Halloween night).

And Davianna loved being a ladybug so much, she napped in her costume for like 2 weeks straight even after Halloween.
