Georgia: Traveler’s Rest
As we continue with our field trips related to our Georgia history studies, I decided to find a field trip that was close to a state park where we could camp. So last weekend, we headed to the Travelers Rest Historic Site. Only open on Saturdays form 9-5, we couldn’t make it on a weekday.

I picked Phelix up from the boarders this morning. When he got home, he ran to my bed and fell sound asleep. I think he had too much fun this weekend with all his friends!

photo friday: flora and fauna of san francisco
On our trip to San Francisco, we encountered flowers and animals everywhere we went. From the seagull that took a bite of Chloe’s ice cream cone down by the piers to the bison that live in Golden Gate Park to the ducklings on Alcatraz, it was one adventure after another!

blue ridge: a lake once more
For the past few years, Lake Blue Ridge hasn’t been much of a lake. It has been, in varying degrees, a big ol’ mudhole. For example, as I worked on our 2010 photo album (I’m slowly working my way backwards through time on my photo album project and have almost completed my sixth album now),
