After a long day of working, cleaning, packing, exploring Track Rock, buying peaches and driving, we made it back home.

At last, we made it to Fort Mountain! Knowing that the day was going to get hot, I insisted on an early start. What a nice view of the area around Chatsworth!

Thwarted from our planned adventure by a dead battery, we decided to ut our stranded time to good use and gave the cabin a good scrubbing and organizing.

We spent the day at the cabin working, reading, studying and trying to stay as cool as possible.
photo friday: The Met
Towards the top of our “things to do” list for our long weekend in New York was visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Alas, the thing I wanted to see most, I couldn’t. The rooftop gallery was still closed for winter, despite it being the end of April. So, so disappointing. But Camille and I

The girls and I headed to the cabin this afternoon. I always enjoy seeing the Turkish rug as it reminds me of our family trip to Turkey!

Despite having lived in Atlanta for almost 14 years, I had never been to Discover Mills before! Rob, the girls and I had a great time at Medieval Times tonight — I’ll be writing a review of our experience soon.

Gazoo had a difficult day, apparently. I’m not sure why … keeping her eye on the construction workers?

Even though I had a million things to do, I figured, summer is almost halfway over, we better take the opportunity to fit in as much fun as we can. So after dinner, we headed out to see “Brave”…

Despite all the pieces that it requires to make it, there’s nothing tastier than coffee made while camping!
instagram: hobbits or teletubbies?
I kept waiting for Tinky Winky and La-La to emerge from this earthen hill at Ocmulgee National Monument… But the girls thought (other than the square door) that hobbits might be living there….
Georgia: Ocmulgee National Monument
Despite not having finished up last year’s history studies, Camille has already started up on next year’s project Georgia history, since we are hoping to get in as many field trips as possible, and summer is a nice time for field trips! Our first field trip was to Fernbank Museum of Natural History, just down

Decatur is becoming so littered with these signs that it makes it hard to walk down the sidewalk.
photo friday: phantom of the opera
It was a Wednesday night that we arrived home from my sister’s wedding in the Bahamas. Thursday morning saw Camille and I packing our backpacks to head up to NYC. Thursday afternoon, we were at the Tkts outlet in Brooklyn deciding on what Broadway play to see that evening. While there were lots to choose

Here’s the original artwork by Rachael Sage that I won along with tickets for her concert at Eddie’s Attic.
all by myself
Earlier this week, I won tickets to go see Rachael Sage and Sonia at Eddie’s Attic. Unfortunately, Rob wasn’t scheduled to return from Salt Lake City until late in the evening. While I put it out there that I’d welcome company, I had no takers. Should I go on my own? Should I just skip

Every time I go out I notice different stickers. Think maybe I should make my new project be documenting them.

Our friend Charlie Hope is on tour and stayed with us last night. This evening, she played a well-attended concert at the Decatur Library. Yeah, Charlie!!
who walks whom?
A few weeks ago, our neighbors across the hall approached Chloe and asked her if she’d like to walk their dog on occasion. In fact, they were going out of town for a day and needed someone to walk him a couple of times. Chloe was thrilled by the prospect and loved it. O. is
instagram: sandy streets
We’re now just a few days past the Decatur Beach party and the streets remind me of my car after a trip to the beach…. Sand is stuck in all the nooks and crannies.
