Happy Birthday, Grandma!
On Saturday, the girls and I got up early and headed to the airport in the rain for our 8:40 flight. The weather was bad, but not bad enough to delay the flight. The plane was tiny, so Camille had to sit in the row ahead of Chloe and me. There was a medical emergency
Easter Egg Roll
We are so excited! I spent most of the day reloading a web page. That’s not exciting. But that obsessive task led to the acquisition of four tickets to the White House Easter Egg Roll. We get to go to the White House! And hear music! And participate in fun events! But mostly, we are
National Building Museum
A new day, a new DC museum! Today we headed out to the National Building Museum. I’d been a long time ago and heard that kids enjoy it, so we decided to give it a try. As we entered, we were greeted with the pandemonium of the preparation for a big gala, the March dinner
Please Touch!
After we left Independence National Historic Park on Sunday, we walked west along Market street. It’s a busy street of stores and indoor malls, not as appealing as the streets we walked on the day before. However, we stopped in at the Reading Terminal Market, which was a really cool market. We left there, heading
Independence
After swimming, packing, breakfast and checking out, we walked over to Independence National Historic Park. We first went into the area around Independence Hall. We didn’t have tickets to go into the hall itself, but we went into one of the other halls where we saw some information about the various documents that had been
The Franklin Institute
After attending the midday concert at World Cafe Live, we headed out to walk to The Franklin Institute. It was a nice walk, and fun to see the Phill train station from outside for a change (we’ve been through it on a train many times). The Institute was full of great rooms of wonderfully fun
Rockin’ Out With Uncle Rock
Last night we headed out of the heart of DC, straight into the heart of Philly. The hotel is wonderfully located, so we left the car there and walked over to World Cafe Live after swimming and breakfast. WCL hosts a fantastic series of kids’ show called “Peanut Butter and Jams” and it seems everybody
Play Ball!
On this the first day of spring, the girls and I headed out to see what signs we could spot. The weather could not decide if it was still winter or time to be spring. One minute the sun was shining and the wind was quiet, then the clouds would blow over and the wind
St. Patrick’s Day
As the “religious conservatives” that I know don’t celebrate Halloween, the “pagans” don’t celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. At our house, we take any excuse to have a little party. St. Patrick’s Day for us is not about casting the “snakes” from Ireland, but instead a celebration of Ireland, pagan roots and all. Last Friday, we
Tiny Treats
Sunday and Monday at the cabin, the girls made lots of “Tiny Treats”! A few weeks ago, Camille bought the book Tiny Treats at the Barnes and Noble in Georgetown. She’s made a couple of the things, but this week, she created a menu, a spreadsheet and a shopping list. Well, first they made the
Fairies in the Garden
After years of wanting to go, I finally made it to Oakhurst Community Garden this past Friday. The girls have been a couple of times, and it sounded like the kind of place I would just love. And I do love it. I just wish it were a whole lot closer, perhaps right in Pine
snow!
Yes, it really did snow here in Georgia! Around noon yesterday (that would be March 1st!), it started to snow, and kept snowing all afternoon. It even THUNDERSNOWED! Yes, it was thundering while snowing. I’d guess that we ended up with about three inches of snow on the ground. The snow even stuck to the
more music
This weekend at Eddie’s Attic, Ellis Paul came to play! We’ve seen Ellis there before, but the crowd was thin. This time the house was packed! We are so excited to see so many people come out on a Saturday afternoon for a kids’ concert. It is such a relief to us that people are
