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.

As Camille made our way down from Rockefeller Center to Canal Street, we stopped in all her favorite stores, from Muji to Tiger. We also managed to find our way to ten or so bookstores, many of which were new to us.

Camille and I had a very full day in NYC, starting with a morning stroll around Brooklyn.

The Cape is a great place to visit old favorites ad explore new-to-us spots!

Sunrises at the Hike Inn are the best!

The beach! Chloe and I both love being at the beach…

While we were on the Cape, Chloe and I rode the Nantucket Ferry over to Nantucket one day. We had lunch, shopped in town, walked to Jetty Beach, rode the bus back, and explored. We had a wonderful day!

Always a fun time in Provincetown. We got there early, missing the traffic and the crowds. By the time we left, the streets were teeming with people!

THe fast ferry is more expensive, but worth it! We had comfortable seat, wi-fi, and power. Out through Hyannis, past all the sailboats, and through the fog to Nantucket. Parking was a little confusing, but we managed it without any mishap.

I had a vague idea of staying somewhere “different” on our trip up north. Harrisburg, PA, seemed like a great distance to go in one day – more than halfway, but not exhausting. We hit a little weather and got in a hour or so later than planned. I hadn’t planned on going to Hershey
photo friday: driftwood beach
A beautiful, surreal beach. And every time we’ve gone – it is practically deserted!
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!

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 …
hike inn.
Chloe and I went on an adventure … We hiked the five miles up to the Hike Inn at Amicalola Falls State Park! Chloe did great! I was amazed at how well she handled it. I had been to the Hike Inn before and knew that there were some hills that would cause me to
off trail (don’t worry).
Chloe and I headed out early (early for her … but I had been up for hours already) and managed to get to the Aware lot while it was still mostly empty. A quick hike up to the top of the mountain…where I found *another* tennis ball for the boy. We then went off-trail down
photo friday: boston
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
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
off-trail.
Phelix and I have been hiking regularly at Arabia for two years now. At first, we took the same trail every single time. After a year or so, I decided enough was enough, and we branched out and learned a new trail. Six months later, I finally decided that we would learn *all* the trails.

Always a fun place to stop and have a bite to eat or grab a cup of coffee!
hot tea hike with ranger robby.
Chloe did not have a good night’s sleep. Her mouth and face hurts from her new braces. At first, she was unwilling to get up early for a hike. But then she rallied. And we headed out … and Phelix was so unhappy. I feel so guilty that I’m taking him out for a hike
