Staying: Contemporary Hotel
I’m honored to have a my “review” of Disney’s Contemporary Hotel published today over on the lovely Keys to the Magic Travel blog!
gulf coast – spring break 2012
For the first week of April, the girls and I headed down to the Gulf Coast in Evie. We spent one night in MS with friends, two nights at Gulf State Park in AL, two nights at Ochlockonee State Park in FL and one night by the beach at St. George Island State Park in
epic trip out west – summer 2011
Yikes! When we got home from our epic trip last year, I decided to rearrange all my blogs and then we moved. And then I never created a post linking to all my posts about our super amazing trip. Looking back on all these posts, I can’t believe all that we saw, learned and did

When I first started planning our spring break, I thought we could see the Gulf of Mexico. The whole thing from Texas to Florida. Hey, we have done crazier things! After some consideration, I decided that Mississippi to the panhandle of Florida would be much more manageable in the short time that we had. Good

While we were at Disney for a cousin meetup last week driving like mad and eating lots of sweets , we enjoyed some of the new tweeny type activities that have been installed since our last trip. In the “Magic Kingdom”, Camille spent a little time on the Sorcerer’s of the Magic Kingdom .. it

Still not finding decent wi-fi, but 3G is allowing me to keep up, at least. SGI (St. George Island) is just lovely… A wonderful place to enjoy our last night of spring break, for sure….

We are undecided about what to do today … Chloe’s happy riding her bike and defending our site from the squirrels ….

While I just love hitting the road and camping, I hate how hard it is to come by wi-fi that actually works…. So, until I get a better connection, here’s a pretty cool shot from yesterday …
Scenes from the road: Time to clean the windshield
Yes, I do. I take photos as I drive along. Since I almost never look through the view-finder anyway, it isn’t as dangerous as it might sound. But this trip, in Evie, has proven to be frustrating. The camera just can’t focus. And now I know why — there are too many bugs splattered on
instagram: On the road
I’ve never liked driving big cars. Small cars are much easier for me to maneuver. Evie, to me, is a very big car. While driving Evie, I park out in parking lot wastelands so I can pull-thru and not have to back out. But now she’s even longer than ever, with three bikes hanging off

A couple of months ago, we discovered that Rob would be having a board meeting at a Disney resort hotel, overlapping a Disney vacation by his brother and his family. After some back and forth, we decided to have Chloe miss one day of school for this once-in-a-lifetime chance to get to go to Disney
Superoo 2012
I’m honored to be selected as a Superoo again for 2012. If you travel, especially with kids, check out Trekaroo for great reviews, forums and tips. I’ve discovered some cool spots along the way via Trekaroo!
magical wonderland
No, I’m not talking about Disney … despite our recent whirlwind. No, I’m talking about Arabia Mountain. We’ve “hiked” this DeKalb County Park outcrop a few times in past years but have returned twice in the past month. Chloe gets bored. Camille generally is unreceptive to being out of doors and hiking. But they both
instagram: NYC
No, we didn’t take a quick trip to the Big Apple. Chloe thought the faux NY was missing the smells (roasting chestnuts, garbage) of the real one….
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”

A few weeks back when we spent the weekend up in Blue Ridge, the whole family went out for a drive after breakfast. Even though Rob has been on many a “drive” with us, he still seems surprised when the drive turns out to be a multi-state one. This time, we headed to the Cherohala
Scenes from the road: Not a typical school run
1. Lock balcony doors. Check. 2. Turn off and pack computers. Check. 3. Unlock balcony doors and let the cat in (oops). Check. 4. Take out trash. Check. 5. Grab vacuum and haul into common hallway to clean up coffee grinds that dumped out of the trash bag when it broke on its way down
Rick Steves at GPB
Tonight, Camille and I drove over to GPB by Georgia Tech to hear Rick Steves talk about travel in Europe. People kept asking Camille, the only kid there, if she was planning a trip to Europe. Not knowing how to say “I’ve been a dozen times.” she shyly shrugged and said she was there at
photo friday: myrtle beach
A month ago (terribly cliche, but my time sure does fly!) the girls and I spent a few days in Myrtle Beach with friends at our “usual” hotel. The girls enjoyed playing at MagiQuest, eating room service dinner and playing on the beach. A simple, true break. Well, other than the fact that I worked
