Photo Friday: Burgundy
Photo taken on 11 Oct 2010 in Georgetown, TX. A little red wine on the deck. Yes, I realize that it is not Friday, but Thursday. However, I’ve decided to begin submitting my weekly contribution to the Photo Friday contest (not that my photos are in the same league with the other entries), and the
Photo Friday: Gone To Texas
On Tuesday afternoon after a morning of work and packing, the girls and I jumped in the car for our annual pilgrimage to Texas. I love the drive across Texas from Louisiana to I-35 via Tyler and Corsicana. There’s no interstate there, so we drive a four (and sometimes two) lane road though dusty Texas
Photo Friday: Macro Shot
Photo taken on 7 Oct 2010 in Georgetown, TX. I love all the flowers that are in my parents’ yard!! Yes, I realize that it is not Friday, but Thursday. However, I’ve decided to begin submitting my weekly contribution to the Photo Friday contest (not that my photos are in the same league with the
Photo Friday: Destination Family
Last weekend, the four of us flew up to Massachusetts to visit with the girls’ cousins for a few days. It has been so long since the girls have gotten to see their cousins, I was a little worried. Chloe and her cousin C. are only a few months apart. What if they just didn’t
Photo Friday: Seusville
Last week, the girls and I drove down to Orlando with friends to spend two days at Universal Orlando’s Theme Parks. Our main goal was to visit “The Wizarding World of Harry Potter”, but, much to my surprise, the girls all loved Seusville almost as much! Wacky, wild and surreal…the rides, the landscaping, the playground

Photo Friday: Streets of Hogsmeade
Earlier this week, the girls and I drove down to Orlando with friends to spend two days at Universal Orlando’s Theme Parks. Our main goal was to visit Hogsmeade and Hogwarts and have a taste of frozen butterbeer in the “Wizarding World of Harry Potter”! We had a wonderful time … short lines, no rain,
Photo Friday: Colors of California
Labor Day weekend, I took my first non-work, kid-free trip (other than an overnight getaway here and there) in over a decade. While it was easier to not have to be in charge and not have to make sure we had all the necessary supplies, I did miss sharing the trip with the girls. This

Photo Friday: Ballooning Cappadocia
While we were in Turkey this summer, we signed up for a two-day tour of Cappadocia. While I don’t like tour bus tours in general, this seemed to be our best option to get out to Cappadocia and see the surreal landscape. One thing that disappointed me about choosing the tour option was that I
Photo Friday: Warm
Photo taken on 17 Jul 2010. Warm isn’t hot. Right now, we are still HOT. The word “warm” makes me think of bundling up against chilly weather, and I’m lacking photos of that nature at the moment! Yes, I realize that it is not Friday, but Thursday. However, I’ve decided to begin submitting my weekly
Photo Friday: The Carlos Museum
School is back in session, even in our homeschool household. Despite this, many of our other activities have not started up, leaving us with a little bit of free time. We’ve been taking advantage of these extra hours to explore local attractions and museums. Yesterday, as we had errands to run in Decatur anyway, we

Photo Friday: Waterpark Fun
Not ready to buckle down to homeschooling, I decided the girls and I could escape the Atlanta heat one more time before we got serious. We headed just east of Knoxville to spend three days at the waterpark resort Wilderness at the Smokies. I love that we can go to places like that on weekdays

sparkling gulf waters
Tired of the summer Atlanta heat, last Friday I decided that it was time to head to the beach for the weekend. While I have certain preconceived notions of the Florida panhandle, I decided that the gulf would be preferable to the Atlantic. I found a good rate at the Holiday Inn Resort in Panama

Holy Wisdom
The Hagia Sophia/Ayasofya in Istanbul is a place that both my girls have longed to see for years. In their history readings, they have learned about the beauty and historical significance of this now secular museum. The entrance fee was steep and there was a line (5-10 minutes?), but it was well worth it. I

Dondurma (Ice Cream)!
My children have come to equate touring with ice cream. (Did I offer them too many bribes when they were younger? ) Needless to say, they consumed lots and lots of ice cream in Turkey. Around Sultanahmet Square in Istanbul, street vendors sell dondurma, a “taffy-like” ice cream. Dondurma’s sticky elasticity makes it possible for
