Photo Friday: New Orleans Riverfront Park
On our first night and then our first morning in New Orleans we wandered along in Woldenberg Park, along the Mississippi between Canal Street and Cafe du Monde. On Sunday evening, the girls danced in the bandstand, Barbara geocached, I took photos…until the storm finally reached us. Monday, the girls and I walked along, enjoying
Photo Friday: South of the Border
If you’ve ever driven on I-95 in the Carolinas, you’ve seen the billboards. Almost as prevalent as the signs for Lookout Mountain, they grab your attention. On our trip to Wilmington, NC, to pick up my new car last week, I gave in to the signs, and we stopped…at South of the Border, “Americaโs favorite
beach – 20 feb 2011
Knowing that it was going to be a cooler day and that the girls were hoping to go to MagiQuest, I took off for a morning walk on the beach. I was the only person out on the gorgeous beach. Oh how I love the beach!
Photo Friday: Cafe du Monde
At first Chloe didn’t want to go. Apparently, she did not remember her earlier visits. Once, in New Orleans, when she was about 15 months old, and once when in Kyoto when she was days short of turning five. But, with the promise of a chance to sit down after all of our walking and
Photo Friday: Better than a Pot Of Gold
Two weeks ago, the girls and I spent much of Saturday in the car. We saw highways and bridges. We listened to books and music. We made PB&Js while burning up the miles. And, what we found at the end of the ribbon of highway was not a pot of gold. No, it was even
Photo Friday: CSA Farm Stay in MD
Two weeks ago, after the concert at XM in DC, we headed out to Maryland to spend the weekend with our friends on their farm House in the Woods. The weather was fairly cold, so we spent most of the day inside, Camille learning to needlefelt and Chloe playing with her friends. However, in the
Photo Friday: Sirius/XM in Washington DC
The girls and I started making trips up to XMRadio to be in the audience of live recordings back in 2006. On our first trip, we left at 1am in order to get there with plenty of time to spare. We’ve taken a large number of weekend trips to DC for concerts since then. The
Photo Friday: Fort Lauderdale Wildlife
When swimming at the beach, sea life tends to make me a little nervous. Crabs nipping at my toes, little fish who like to nibble at me, jellyfish ready to sting. But what swam up to Camille last week was something I’d never have expected — manatees!! Unfortunately, she was paying attention to jumping in
Photo Friday: Poolside in Fort Lauderdale
We managed to escape the winter craziness in Atlanta (school cancelled for FIVE days in a row) and find ourselves a in what seems like the only warm spot left, southeast Florida. The girls and I are tag-a-longs on a business trip of Rob’s here at the Ritz-Carlton in Fort Lauderdale. On our own travels,
Photo Friday: Tellico River
Sunday evening, at my mom’s cabin in North Georgia, I turned on my work computer for the first time in a week. Just for the heck of it, I checked the 2011 holiday calendar. Just imagine my surprise and joy at finding out I had one more day off! Taking advantage of my reprieve, we
Photo Friday: Casey Key
As I’ve mentioned before, the beach is the place I dream of the most. While in Florida earlier this week, we spent a night at Cocoa Beach on the Atlantic coast. But then, we headed across Florida to the gulf coast, and, despite the chilly wind, we spent a bit of time beachcombing on Casey
Photo Friday: The High Museum
This week, the girls and I took advantage of our light work/homeschool/activities schedule and headed to the High Musuem of Art to see the Dali exhibit before it leaves! When Camille was little, we managed to get to the High almost weekly for the Toddler Thursday events, and we both have fond memories of our
Photo Friday: Over the River and Through the Woods
As we’ve done for the past 10+ years, we headed up to Blue Ridge, Georgia, to my parents’ cabin for Thanksgiving. I do love getting out to the woods and taking long walks along the (sort of) country lanes down to and along the river. Camille came with me on many of my walks, and
Photo Friday: Cameron Park Zoo
Since Camille got her pick of a fiber festival on the Saturday of our final weekend in Texas, we decided to give Chloe her pick on Sunday — the zoo! But which zoo? Chloe wanted Houston (too far), we had been south on I-35 twice already (ruling out San Antonio), so that left us to
Photo Friday: Boerne, TX
While we were in TX for two weeks at the start of the month, I promised the girls that we would do some day trips beyond Georgetown/Austin. The first weekend, we headed to San Antonio. For the second weekend, we did not take off an overnight trip, but we did explore two places new to
Photo Friday: Museum Reach Section of San Antonioโs Riverwalk
While we are in Texas for an extended stay, I figured I’d try to get the girls out to see more than just Zilker Park and Georgetown…. This past weekend, we headed down I-35 to San Antonio. I was shocked at how little I recognized along the Austin-SA corridor — so much has changed! Upon
Photo Friday: Fun Fall Traditions
Each fall, my mom, the girls and I have a tradition of spending a few days up at the cabin in Blue Ridge, GA, and participating in “fall fun” activities such as corn mazes and pumpkin farms. Last weekend, my mom, the girls and I spent a couple of days in Blue Ridge, and after
Photo Friday: Stuck in the Mud
Our anual tradition of heading to the cabin on Columbus Day weekend with my mom for visiting a corn maze was disrupted this year by our trip to Texas for Austin City Limits. Luckily, we were able to fit it in this weekend instead. I had been planning to make my Photo Friday post about
Photo Friday: LEAF
We returned from our trip to Texas on a week ago Wednesday evening and spent a day of absolute craziness on Thursday (work, 4+ hours of homeschool classes, grocery shopping, library, gymnastics, unpacking, laundry, packing). Friday morning, as early as we could, we headed out with a fully packed car to Black Mountain, NC, for
Photo Friday: Austin City Limits
It’s hard for me to believe it has already been a week since the first day of our three-days at Austin City Limits. In the four days since, we’ve driven back to Atlanta, unpacked and packed for today’s adventure. But, while we were there, we had a great time. Great music, friends, food, and fun!
