Our trip to Oakland Cemetery last month was at an ideal time of year. Early spring. Not too hot, yet warm. And the flowers, oh the flowers in bloom!

Despite having lived in the Atlanta area for almost 15 years now, we have not been to a number of the places that tourists go when they come to visit. This month we finally went to one of those places that we’ve been neglecting to go – Oakland Cemetery! Phil, Barbara, Rob, Camille, Chloe and
photo friday: high falls state park sunrise
On the final morning of our three day weekend at High Falls State Park, I managed to get up early enough to see the misty fog rising off the river and the sunrising through it. Beautiful!
photo friday: high falls yurts
For the long weekend in January, I was finally able to do something I had been wanting to do for a long time…stay in one of the Georgia State Park yurts! We had been warned that they don’t hold heat well, so we stocked up on blankets and sleeping bags. However, the yurts at High
photo friday: black rock mountain state park
Back in November, I packed up Evie, and Phelix and I headed up to Black Rock Mountain State Park for the weekend. The drive up was beautiful – fall colors all around. The final mile of driving was twisty and curvy – wouldn’t want to do that in less than ideal conditions! The staff were
around atlanta: paris on peachtree
Sunday, we headed down to The High for the “Paris on Peachtree” exhibit. Before heading into the museum, the girls and I stopped at Table 1280 for some espresso and pastries — seemed to be appropriate! Phil and Barbara met us at the cafe, then we all toured the exhibit together. As luck would have
snapshots from gooney road – 30 dec 2013
A lovely day in Blue Ridge. Lunch of soup and sandwiches at Chloe’s favorite cafe – Serenity Cafe. Then some fun gift shopping before heading back to the cabin. Phelix made some new doggie friends, too.
around atlanta: skyview
Ever since it has opened, I’ve wanted to go and ride on SkyView, Atlanta’s new Ferris Wheel. The last time we were at Centennial Park, it was for a trip to the Coke Museum. The day was cold, wet and foggy, so we passed on riding the wheel. Thursday night, I managed to convince the
atlanta: garden lights holiday nights
Last week, while Rob was in NYC, the girls and I headed out to the Atlanta Botanical Garden for the holiday lights. We’ve been a few times in past years, and I always enjoy seeing the garden all lit up and decorated for the holidays. Camille found a tree whose lights matched her hair color.
photo friday: eating out on tybee island
While on our trip to Tybee Island back in Septmeber, we decided to try out a number of the restaurants. As I don’t eat seafood, I can’t say anything about how fresh the food was. But we loved the varying atmospheres in the various places !

While we were in Tybee Island back in September, we decided to spen a few hours exploring Fort Pulaski. Unfortunately, just as we got there, the skies turned dark and we were up against a thunderstorm. Due to the lightning, we couldn’t stay up on the ramparts, but e did enjoy exploring the various rooms
photo friday: savannah, ga
While in Tybee Island in September, we decided to take a day to visit Savannah. Having never been there before, and because of the heat, we decided to try out one of the off-on trolley tours. While it was a fun way to see some of the old city, I don’t think we’d opt for

A couple of months ago, we headed up to Red Top Mountain State Park. So close to Atlanta, yet we had never been! Phelix and I got there first and set up the campsite. Rob and the girls came later after gymnastics. Camille and I had a lovely weekend of unwinding at the campsite for
atlanta: yellow river game ranch
As the year is starting to come to a close, I’ve been looking over our various lists and projects, figuring out what we haven’t done yet that we had hoped to do this year. On Chloe’s 2013 list was the Yellow River Game Ranch. Although we did spend a coupe hours there back in February
atlanta: scarecrows in the garden
As long-time members at and regular visitors to the Atlanta Botanical Garden, we’ve watched it go through some major changes through the past decade. I am always playing old-timer with the girls — “Remember when the entrance used to be here, then there and then over there?” “Remember when this used to be the gift

One of the hopes on our Summer 2013 Passport List was to finally take a tour of the Fox Theatre. The girls, my parents and I finally made it there this past July. After years of going to plays, movies, and ballets at the beautiful theater, we finally had the chance to learn the fascinating

that’s what I said. and that’s what she did today. At the start of the summer, I made us a long list of fun things that we might like to do this summer. While we didn’t do everything on the list, we gave it the ole college try. The list helped me convince all of
