photo friday: mini-golf
I am usually not a fan of mini-golf, but Chloe and I had a great time golfing while on Jekyll!
photo friday: sand dollars
You have to watch where you step, because the beach at Jekyll is littered with these guys. I’m never sure if I should toss them back into the ocean or leave them where they are …
photo friday: exploratorium
The girls (or was it only Camille??) and I visited the Exploratorium decades ago. It was the most amazing place — hands on, interesting, encouraged the kids to explore the world and learn how to make connections. While we did not visit on our latest trip to SF, I have high hopes that its new

Always a fun place to stop and have a bite to eat or grab a cup of coffee!
photo friday: china beach
Beach. The beach. Any beach. It has been far too long. I wish I lived as close to the beach as my sister does!!

Our final tourist attraction while in NYC – One World Trade Center. Camille is not a fan of heights, but agreed to go with me anyway …
photo friday: the tonys
Camille and I just happened to be in NYC on Tonys Sunday, so we stopped by the Beacon Theater to see what all the fuss is about….
photo friday: grand central station
Who doesn’t love Grand Central? Even when we are not headed off on a train, we make a point of stopping in the station for the architecture, the vibe, the food, and the stores!
photo friday: times square
Overcrowded, crazy. Some people avoid it altogether. I hate crowds too, but I always get a thrill out of seeing all the lights and the energy.
photo friday: shopping in nyc (camille style)
A few hours to kill in Manhattan. No new exhibits to see. What do you do? Shop. But shop Camille-style. Books, pens, comics.
photo friday: off (and on) broadway
When Camille and I planned our trip to NYC in June, our biggest reason for going was to see “Hadestown”! Camille was so thrilled to get to see the play in its short workshop run. And I was enthralled. Good choice. After we made plans to see “Hadestown”. we shopped around for other plays we
photo friday: katz’s deli
After visiting the Brooklyn Flea Market, Camille and I headed into Manhattan to have lunch at Katz’s Deli. As I am a vegetarian, I wasn’t expecting to eat very much; we were there for the experience. And what an experience! Crowded and confusing, with multiple lines for various foods and drinks. But Camille and I
photo friday: brooklyn flea
The Brooklyn brownstone that Camille and I stayed in on our latest trip to NYC was a block away from the Brooklyn Flea Market. Not the *big* one, but a smaller version, the Fort Greene Flea. Nevertheless, we had a lovely time exploring. I bought a new ring and Camille explored the booths, bought a
photo friday: society of illustrators
As I researched possible new things to do while in NYC, I looked into the possibility of comic museums. As I searched through the Society of Illustrators website, I saw that there would be an opening of “Point Of Vision: Celebrating Women Artists In Fantasy And Science Fiction”. While there was no mention of whether
photo friday: The MET
From The Cloisters, we headed back down and walked across the park to The MET. By that time, we were hungry, and the spots in the park had terrible vegetarian choices. We chose to eat at the museum cafeteria instead – not very good and incredibly expensive. I need to do a better job of
photo friday: the cloisters
On the second full day of our trip to NYC in June, Camille and I made our way to The Met Cloisters. It’s a long subway ride from Brooklyn to the very Upper West Side of Manhattan, but you exit into the lovely Fort Tryon Park. There’s a bit of a walk to the museum,
photo friday: corona park
As I mentioned in photo friday: queens museum, Camills and I ventured out to Queens. And to get to the museum, we had to walk. Walk through a really incredible park, Flushing Meadows Corona Park. Really incredible. Old World’s Fairgrounds incredible. A Parisian Style park, though a bit neglected. Even when we were done exploring
photo friday: queens museum
After years of having it on my “NYC wish list”, Camille and I finally had the time to hike on out to Queens and visit the Queens Museum. I had been expecting the museum to be an old, dusty place, but we were pleasantly surprised by the modern, open, airy spaces and the diverseness of
photo friday: brooklyn apartment
When Camille and I made a quick decision to head to NYC in June to see “Hadestown”, I began to search for a place to stay. The previous VRBO we stayed in was not available (I texted the owner directly …), so I looked for another in Brooklyn. Only a couple fit my intersection of
photo friday: china beach
Just a short walk from my sister’s place is China Beach. I love walking down there and dipping my feet in the Pacific and marveling that she gets to live in such a beautiful place!
