Travel Tuesday: Weekly Favorites for 3 May 2011
We are back home from our NYC adventure and I’m desperately trying to catch up … I love what I’ve been reading out there on the web, and I’d love to share my highlights with you. Here are some of my favorites from the week: Kids and Castles: Culture Shock: Easter Egg HuntInteresting comparison of
Central Park Ramblings
After we left the Guggenheim Museum on Friday, we debated going back the way we came to the subway versus walking across the street to Central Park. We decided to make a quick visit to the park before hitting the subway. However, once we were in the park, we didn’t want to leave; we modified
forbidden planet – 2 may 2011
A kindie friend posted on facebook that he had visited Forbidden Planet near Union Square, so I decided to surprise the girls with a visit to this scifi/manga store. Chloe loved all the Doctor Who “collectibles”! Camille was feeling a little out of place, though, and wouldn’t go upstairs to look at the manga ๐
Visiting : The Guggenheim Museum
While the girls have certain favorite places to visit in NYC, I do try to make sure that we get to at least one new place each time we visit. This time, I decided it was about time for us to get to the Guggenheim. By the time we got there, after the subway ride
Times Square means Chocolate
After our trip to NYC, we arrived in Times Square where I surprised the girls with a visit to the Harry Potter Exhibition. But then, once we were out and had a soft pretzel (gross) for a little sustenance, the girls wanted to visit places in Times Square. The Toys R Us with the Ferris
Photo Friday: RenFest
For a few years now, we have made a tradition of heading just south of Atlanta on a spring weekend to attend the Georgia Renaissance Festival. The girls love just about everything about it. The shows, ranging from acrobatics to jousting to craftspeople showing their crafts, are lots of fun to watch. The people in
Thoughts: The Journey is Half the Fun
The girls and I headed out yesterday to travel from Atlanta to Brooklyn for our annual kids’ music pilgrimage. The first challenge was the weather. Atlanta was very, very fortunate to have not been hit harder by the storms that rolled through. The tornadoes were north, south and east, but Atlanta was spared. No trees
times sq – 28 apr 2011
Yup. We made it to NYC despite the stormy weather. Fun times in Times Square, then off to Brooklyn!!
RenFest
Last Sunday, after the girls found all of their eggs, we headed down to the Georgia Renaissance Festival. Depsite being overwhelmed with I wanted to get done, I knew the girls really wanted to go, and this was the weekend for it. As we head towards summer, it gets hotter and hotter. We only have

Finally, we are going to be traveling again. I hope that my sciatica doesn’t decide to flare up while we are away from home! But … I love what I’ve been reading out there on the web, and I’d love to share my highlights with you. Here are some of my favorites from the week:
Planning a Trip: Step 3 – Gather Reference Materials
Last week I wrote about Step 2 in my planning process, fixing the most restrictive spots. In planning for our big trip out west, I had already collected a long list of potential stops, plotted them on a map, created a spreadsheet of sites and nights. Once equipped with a tentative plan, I found the
Peace, Love and Bugs
Saturday, after the Pine Lake Easter Egg Hunt, the girls and I went to UUCA to Peace, Love and Bugs. I thought the girls would get a kick out of checking out all the poptops, and they did! As it was a VW event, we decided it would be best to take Evie to it.
renfest – 24 apr 2011
Chloe loves the rides at RenFest — all human powered in one way or another …
Photo Friday: Sheep to Shawl
Last Saturday was a very fibery day for Camille. She spent the morning at a spinning class at STITCHES South and from there, after a pit stop at REI for some supplies for our upcoming epic trip out west, we spent a couple of hours at Sheep to Shawl at the Atlanta History Center. The
Thoughts: Electronic Entertainment
I know. This is a highly charged subject. And one for which my own thoughts and opinions have fluctuated. One reason I am a huge fan of family trips is because it gives us common experiences and memories. These help bind and unite us as a family. On that note, I am not a fan

What’s not to love???? Cute plates and a cute girl ๐
Mondays are for Dreaming: VW Poptop
Oh yeah. I’ve dreamed about this since I was four years old. I knew very little about the world, but I knew I had to have a “pop-pop” (according to my mother). My parents disappointed me; they bought a VW van — a plain one, no popping involved. In that van, we took a long
Photo Friday: What a Name!
Last weekend, we staye at Indian Springs State Park which is located in the unfortunately named Butts County. Fortunately, it appears that the residents of the county take the name in stride! This is an entry for Delicious Baby’s Photo Friday.
Planning a Trip: Step 2 – Fix Most Restrictive Parts
Last week I wrote about Step 1 in my planning process, grabbing a map and a calendar. In planning for our big trip out west, I had already collected a long list of potential stops, either recommendations or places I already had in mind. I plotted all of spots on a map, eliminating quite a
