instagram: AirTrain Rain
Camille and I arrived to a rainy NYC. Luckily, after the AirTrain and the A train, it slowed to a drizzle and stopped in time for us to head into Manhattan.
gooney bird: heading to NYC
Our mascot, knit by Camille, is now on the big, big bird headed to the big, big city…. At the Decatur MARTA station: Made it through security: On the “Plane Train”: Checking out the recycled fashions at the airport: Ready to fly: After that flight, Gooney Bird is not sure about flying again:
instagram: heading home
Not such a long trip home, but lots of “Hurry up and Wait”, of course.
instagram: beach lunch
Today we ate lunch on the beach. Tomorrow’s lunch won’t be eating in as lovely a place, but it will be an exciting one anyway!!
instagram: bleached beach
We drove out to Lucaya National Park yesterday — what a lovely beach.

Life is good, even when it rains.
instagram: wedding party
My baby sister got married today!! Despite the threatening weather (it *never* rains in the Bahamas), the wedding was lovely. And Chloe was beyond thrilled to get to be a part of the wedding party (party being the key word here).
instagram: puzzle pieces
Chloe and I started working on a puzzle, but it got put away before the storms rolled in …..
photo friday: gulf state park, AL
For our Gulf Coast Spring Break trip, the girls and I spent two nights camping at Gulf Shores State Park. While the park seemed to cater mostly to RVs and people in cars, we were able to ride our bikes to the beach…which was the whole idea! This is an entry for Delicious Babyโs Photo
instagram: Green
At the grocery store today, we saw mountains of green bananas …
instagram: Decatur Station
We arrived at the station bright and early this morning …. With very few others around, I was able to get this nice photo.
instagram: painted toes
Today I took the girls to their first mani/pedi. Chloe loved it; Camille hated it. But we all now have good-looking toes for the beach!!
instagram: king of pops
When we returned from our bike ride over to Avondale for the STEAMFestATL, we treated ourselves to popsicles from King of Pops on the square. Yum!

Not only did Chloe get chocolate milk at RenFest, but Rob ate chocolate covered bacon. Was this a Renaissance specialty?
instagram: Yum! Turtle Food
Camille “accidentally” dumped a few weeks worth of turtle food into Dumbledore’s cage. Instead of cleaning it, she just let it all float there. I’m hoping that the turtle doesn’t explode! Gazoo just loves turtle food and sat on top of the cage all evening inhaling her favorite aromas.
photo friday: gulf shores, al
When I first started planning our spring break, I thought we could see the Gulf of Mexico. The whole thing from Texas to Florida. Hey, we have done crazier things! After some consideration, I decided that Mississippi to the panhandle of Florida would be much more manageable in the short time that we had. Good
instagram: silver medal
Camille has been working harder on studying and homeschooling this year, and it looks like it has paid off! She did much better on her National Latin Exam this year (Level II) than last year! Alas, she’s decided that this is her final year of Latin after seven years of study.
instagram : shorter hair
I don’t have much time now as I try to make up for everything that I fell behind on during our spring break trip and get ahead before we leave for our next trips … But I managed to squeeze in getting a very needed haircut at the salon across the street.
instagram: Homework #DecaturGA style
Chloe worked on logic puzzles while Camille read New Yorker while waiting in line at Taqueria del Sol ….
instagram: visitor, departing
As I sit here, back at the grind — trying to catch up and also to get ahead, we had a visitor arrive … a mourning dove! After a short visit, he (she?) flew off just as I was trying to take a photo. Camera shy, I suppose …
