photo friday: cloudland canyon state park
Back in early June, we headed out for our second camping trip of the summer. This time around, both Rod and Phelix joined us. I’ve always wanted to visit Cloudland Canyon — from all reports, it was sure to be a magical place. We were not disappointed. On Saturday, we headed out to hike to
photo friday: tugaloo state park
As summer approached, I realized that our summer weekends were filling up already and that I had better make camping plans right away if I wanted to get in any camping before school started back up again. Thus, the weekend after Memorial Day found the girls and I at Tugaloo State Park right on the
photo friday: sirius/xm in NYC
As with our past few trips to NYC for Kindiefest, this latest trip also included a long evening of seriously great kindie music at my happy place — well, not my true happy place, as that’s XM in DC, but a good second to it.
photo friday: central park
While we’ve been to Central Park in NYC before, this past trip to NYC we went twice more with a specific goal in mind: Find a couple of the locations where Doctor Who was filmed. And we actually were quite successful! The kids enjoyed visiting Strawberry Fields and strolling through the park, once on a
photo friday: high and low
Last San Francisco Photo Friday, I promise! It’s been almost two months since the trip, so time to finish up and move onto our trip to NYC and our summer camping adventures. I had no clue how to get to the top of Telegraph Hill in order to visit Coit Tower – a place I
photo friday: flora and fauna of san francisco
On our trip to San Francisco, we encountered flowers and animals everywhere we went. From the seagull that took a bite of Chloe’s ice cream cone down by the piers to the bison that live in Golden Gate Park to the ducklings on Alcatraz, it was one adventure after another!
photo friday: transportation in San Francisco
Transportation Vacation! Apart from getting to San Francisco via MARTA, plane trane, plane (complete with exciting landing) and SuperShuttle, we managed to find a number of ways to get around San Francisco. Bus, ferry, tram, cable car and BART, too! This is an entry for Delicious Babyโs Photo Friday.

While we were in San Francisco last month for spring break, we hit us the “Music Concourse” at Golden Gate Park. While my parents and Camille went to the de Young Art Museum, Chloe and I went to the California Academy of Sciences across the street. Chloe is a scientist. Chloe is a naturalist. She
photo friday: alcatraz island
The ONE thing the girls insisted on wanting to do while we were in San Francisco last month? Go to Alcatraz! They’ve both been before, but back when they were far to young to remember going. This trip, they’ll remember. Both enjoyed it for very different reasons. Camille loved the history. Chloe loved the natural
photo friday: coastal san francisco
While in San Francisco, we stayed at my sister’s place for much of the time, and took advantage of her close proximity to the beach! Too cold for swimming, but never too cold to walk near the water and gaze out at the long horizon… I sure do wish I lied closer to the ocean!
photo friday: rooftop view of san francisco
we spent half of our week in San Francisco at my sister’s lovely apartment. Not only is the inside a comfortable place, the rooftop offers some spectacular views of San Francisco! I should have headed up there every morning, evening and night!! This is an entry for Delicious Babyโs Photo Friday.
photo friday: blue ridge weekend
Weekends have become crowded with kid events. It seems like there is always something on our schedule these days – gymnastics meets, conventions, 5K races, birthday parties, and so on. When I saw that we could make Easter weekend cleared of events, I decided that it was high time for a cabin weekend. Packing up
photo friday: edisto beach state park
As we thought about where to go for Chloe’s “winter” break, I decided it had been too long since I’ve been to the beach. With money being tight as we were in the midst of three different real estate transactions, I knew we’d have to make it a camping trip and keep it short (so

Camille, Phelix and I hung out on the square for a while this afternoon while our condo was being shown to some potential renters.
photo friday: arabia mountain
Generally, when people think of stone outcrops in Atlanta, they think of Stone Mountain. But our favorite outcrop? Much less famous, but one of our favorite places to go, is the Davidson-Arabia Nature Preserve. While my favorite time to go is during the spring when the mountain looks like a magical wonderland, I love to
photo friday: microcar museum
Over the past few weeks, a few different friends on Facebook posted photos from what looked like a very fun museum. In thinking to add it to our “list”, I went to the website and noticed that, unfortunately, it would be closing soon and all the cars auctioned off. So instead of being able to
photo friday: waterworks
Last weekend, after our “birding trip” to Clyde Shepherd Nature Preserve, we then headed to Mason Mill Park and the Decatur Waterworks. With old crumblings walls decoratively painted with spray paint, it is a lovely “free-range” style playground for the kids. We really must go back soon and bring Pheilx the Dog with us!! This
photo friday: snow in blue ridge
While we were up in Blue Ridge for our traditional New Year’s Eve celebrations, we had a bit of a surprise — SNOW! Given the warm temperatures we’ve been having, I had assumed that we would not see any white stuff in Georgia this winter. While the snow was barely more than a dusting and
photo friday: sweetwater creek state park
A few weeks ago, we took our new puppy, Phelix, out to Sweetwater Creek State Park. Despite having lived in Atlanta for over a decade now, I had never been to visit this lovely place! We took a nice hike on a loop that wanders along the creek and then up onto the hill. Hiking
photo friday: cherokee, nc
While up at the cabin for Thanksgiving, I had hoped to visit a number of historical sites. In the end, we only visited a few, but we did make it back to Cherokee, NC to visit the Museum of the Cherokee Indian. While Camille greatly enjoyed the exhibits, Chloe was only happy once we hit
