A couple *months* ago, while Camille and I were in NYC for Kindiefest, we were honored to be invited up to the Sirius Fishbowl for a Kids Place Live Special Live Concert. A number of our favorite artists came together in one place to collaborate on each other’s songs. It was a wonderful time for

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

Back in April when we were in the Bahamas for my sisters’ wedding, we didn’t have much time for exploring as tourists. One afternoon, we drove east and visited Lucayan National Park. The next day, we took a ride out to the western end of the island. On the way out, we stopped at Paradise

Back in April when we were in the Bahamas for my sisters’ wedding, we didn’t have much time for exploring as tourists. Therefore, I was more than ready to jump in the car when my parents suggested a trip out to Lucayan National Park. While Grand Bahama Island is fairly small, the ride out to

The last night of our Gulf Coast Spring Break camping trip we spent camping at St. George Island State Park. We had heard great things about the barrier islands along the Florida panhandle, and I had hoped to spend more than one night there, but I worked on our plans a bit too late. Maybe

For our Gulf Coast Spring Break trip, the girls and I spent two nights camping at Ochlockonee River State Park. While this park did not meet our spring break criteria of being near the beach, it was the closest I could find after waiting until March to plan our trip. After slamming on the brakes

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

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

A couple of months ago, we discovered that Rob would be having a board meeting at a Disney resort hotel, overlapping a Disney vacation by his brother and his family. After some back and forth, we decided to have Chloe miss one day of school for this once-in-a-lifetime chance to get to go to Disney

A few weeks back when we spent the weekend up in Blue Ridge, the whole family went out for a drive after breakfast. Even though Rob has been on many a “drive” with us, he still seems surprised when the drive turns out to be a multi-state one. This time, we headed to the Cherohala

A month ago (terribly cliche, but my time sure does fly!) the girls and I spent a few days in Myrtle Beach with friends at our “usual” hotel. The girls enjoyed playing at MagiQuest, eating room service dinner and playing on the beach. A simple, true break. Well, other than the fact that I worked

A few weeks ago, we packed up Evie for a weekend trip and headed to Florence Marina State Park along the Chattahoochee where it is Lake George/Eufaula and separates Alabama and Georgia. To get there, we crossed into Alabama and then back into Georgia, and I had no idea what time it was all weekend

“We’re not in Georgia anymore.” Had I not known better, I would have agreed. As it was, we were still in Georgia, in the canyons of Providence Canyon State Outdoor Recreation Area. The canyons, formed by “poor farming practices during the 1800’s”, reveal the hidden beauty of the underground layers. The trails down to the

A couple weekends ago, we camped for two freezing nights at FDR State Park, just south of Atlanta. While there, we visited Callaway Gardens, but even more interesting was our time at the “Little White House”. Until last month, I had no idea, really, that FDR spent time in Georgia and certainly didn’t realize that

A couple weekends ago, we camped for two freezing nights at FDR State Park, just south of Atlanta. Part of the reason for the trip was that despite having lived in Atlanta for over a decade, we’ve never been to Callaway Gardens. So on Saturday, after thawing out and having had some breakfast, we made

I can just hear the comedy sketch that must take place every time someone decided to make this parking lot at F.D. Roosevelt State Park as a meeting point. A couple weeks ago, we packed up Evie, our VW PopTop, and headed south of Atlanta to F.D. Roosevelt State Park for a weekend of sub-freezing

A couple weeks ago we haphazardly packed the car with camping equipment — as we are in the middle of a move, our stuff was spread out amongst our two homes. We somehow managed to bring what we needed to stay (sort of) warm at night as the temperatures dipped below freezing. This was our

Despite the chaos that comes with moving, downsizing, a big release at work and a child starting school for the first time ever, we managed to make it up to north Georgia for our annual corn maze outing with my mom. This time, both my dad and Rob came along with us as well. And,

Two weekends ago, the girls and I made our annual pilgrimage to Austin for the Austin City Limits Music Festval. We love hanging out at “Austin Kiddie Limits”, listening to great bands, sampling local food and digging in the sand on Zilker Beach. This is an entry for Delicious Babyโs Photo Friday

Last week, we drove to Texas for our annual pilgrimage to the Austin City Limits Music Festival. Camille’s first request upon arriving at my parents’ house in the Austin suburbs? Going to eat at Chuy’s. If you’ve never been to Chuy’s, you must get yourself to one. They used to only be in Texas, but
