photo friday: fun food in the city
In our adventures in the city, we made time for some fun street food along the way. In addition to the usual bagels, pizza, and pretzels, we also had bubble tea and “fish ice cream” at Taiyaki.

Camille and I headed to the Northeast for some college touring over her September break. We learned a lot, and her top choices for schools was completely re-arranged afterwards. We managed to squeeze in a tiny little bit of exploring as well. We had a lovely evening in Boston, where we connected with on of
around atlanta: star provisions
Next stop on goal of learning more about Atlanta was Westside Provisions District and Star Provisions. We first tried to eat breakfast at West Egg, but the wait was ano hour long, so we passed on it. Instead, we wandered through the shops and got to Star Provisions, which turned out to be a perfect
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
food in boston.
Food in Boston. What comes to mind? Seafood, for sure. Then maybe some continental cuisines? We spend our one evening in Boston in Chinatwon, enjoying the Lantern Festival and the food. First stop was bubble tea (they were out of bubbles) and cake from the 101 Bakery. The cake was cute Camille could barely bring
photo friday: portland
Like Seattle, the time we spent in Portland was a bit of a whirlwind. Not enough much time to visit lots of places, but long enough to get a little bit of a feel for the city.
photo friday: pike place
The time change had us up bright and early, so we ventured out to the Seattle “attraction” that was sure to be open that early…. Pike Place. We were there so early that there wasn’t even a line at the “original Starbucks”, so Chloe’s dream came true. We wandered the halls of the market as
around atlanta: the whistle stop cafe
When planning our Saturday around Camille’s GHP interview in Locust Grove, we decided to visit some colleges near Macon. When I noticed that The Whistle Stop Cafe was between Locust Grove and Macon, I just knew we had to go and have some Fried Green Tomatoes … at last!
photo friday: tavern on the green
Another item on my NYC wish list was to take the girls to Tavern on the Green for lunch. More expensive than most places where we dine, we knew it was going to be a splurge. Watching the snow fall on the park as we ate our delicious meal was a perfect way to celebrate
photo friday: coney island
After our afternoon at Prospect Park, we hoped on the subway to the beach. The subway to the beach! Though it was dark and chilly, we walked down to the water at Coney Island just to look out over the dark horizon. Hungry, we stopped in at Nathan’s for our helping of fried food. A
atlanta: waffle house museum
A month of being at home is causing me to develop a serious case of cabin fever. I’ve been able to clear out some long standing to-do items, volunteer at various events, and relax a bit, but the idea of spending another weekend at home checking things of my list was dragging me down. While
photo friday: heading to the palace of knossos โ crete
What a whirlwind trip getting to Crete. Flight from Atlanta to Paris. Less than an hour to change in Paris, including immigration and customs. A quick (yet nice) flight to Athens. A public bus (X96) from the airport to Piraeus. A confusing meander around the docks. And then finally onto the overnight ferry. We quickly
photo friday: junk food in greece
While we were in Greece, we mostly ate very good, fresh food and sometimes gourmet ice cream, there were times that we came across junk foods that we just had to try … or at least snap a photo of!
photo friday: fresh food in Greece
We sure did eat a lot of Greek salads on our trip to Greece! Feta, olives, cucumbers and tomatoes.
photo friday: eating out on tybee island
While on our trip to Tybee Island back in Septmeber, we decided to try out a number of the restaurants. As I don’t eat seafood, I can’t say anything about how fresh the food was. But we loved the varying atmospheres in the various places !
photo friday: medieval times
Back in June, Rob, the girls and I spent an evening at Medieval Times. Rob and Camille had gone before, but this was the first time that Chloe and I had been. And we had a blast cheering on the Blue Knight…who did not win, unfortunately. At the end, Chloe insisted on staying and getting
candy world aka sweet disney
The choco Mickey was quite enticing at dinner last night … In the end, cousins Chloe and Catherine got to share one. Chloe ate the head and Catherine the body. My girls went nuts in the candy section in the Japan gift shop at EPCOT. They reminisced about all the different candy and “Pocky style”
rise from the ashes?
Whenever we head up to Blue Ridge, Chloe begs to go to the “Toccoaside”, the Toccoa Riverside Restaurant just down the street form the cabin. Unfortunately, her favorite restaurant was destroyed by fire a few weeks ago. Chloe was devastated to hear this sad news. This weekend while we were in Blue Ridge, we drove
room service funnies
Whenever we stay at the Embassy Suites in Myrtle Beach, the girls count on having room service for dinner one night. I’m not sure why; it has never been anything spectacular. I think they simply enjoy the IDEA of it. Or maybe it is for the adventure and hilarity that often ensues. One time, we
photo friday: chuy’s
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
