Travel Tuesday: Weekly Favorites for 12 Apr 2011
While I’m still recovering from sciatica, we did get out for a weekend at a nearby state park. I hoe to be up and traveling soon!! 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
Camping: Indian Springs State Park
I admit, it is a long stretch to call what we did this weekend “camping”. The girls and I joined friends for a few days at a cottage at Indian Springs State Park, which may be the oldest state park in the nation. The park is just about an hour from “the perimeter” in Atlanta,
shoals – 9 apr 2011
The girls had fun playing in the shoals in the river by the entrance to Indian Springs State Park. Slippery and cold, but fun.

Last Friday, Chloe and I joined Camille on her Latin class’s field trip to the Monsters, Demons, and Winged-Beasts: Composite Creatures in the Ancient World exhibit at the Michael C. Carlos Museum on the Emory University campus. We had issues with parking and ended up having to walk a long distance, uphill, fast. As my
let the planning begin!
I’m stuck on the couch, still recovering from my sciatica. Rob is off in San Diego; the girls are at a cabin at a state park. While I hope to be well enough to join them tomorrow, there was no way I could drive that far today, plus I am behind at work due to
Planning a Trip: Step 1- Grab a Map and a Calendar
April? How did it get to be APRIL already?? Usually by this time of year, we’ve got most of the details of our summer travels worked out. I would usually have lists and documents and maps all organized and ready. Travel guides would have been read and bookmarked. I just LOVE the research and planning

I’ve been stuck on the couch the past four days with sciatica; I hate being grounded like this! I hope to be up and at ’em soon! 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
Photo Friday: Austin’s Captiol 10K
Last weekend, Chloe and I flew to Austin to celebrate my mom’s birthday. While there, we visited the J. Lorraine Ghost Town and also went to the Austin American-Statesman Capital 10K. While the rest of the family participated in the race, Chloe and I took our time getting from starting line to finish line and
flat tire: gymnastics team
As should be incredibly obvious, I love to travel, revisiting old favorites and discovering new spots. But what happens when a traveling parent has a kid whose desire is to stay in one place? How do we compromise? Last week, Chloe tried out for the “training team” at her gymnastics center and was “awarded” a

After a weekend in Texas, we are now on our way back home; I’m posting this from 30K feet… 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: WanderMom: Motorscooter FreightMy fave RTW blogger has
Barbara’s Birthday Missions
If you have tuned in to the Absolutely Mindy show on Sirius/XM Kids Place Live recently, you are likely to be quite familiar with the birthday missions that are loved by all her fans. She comes up with some doozies, sure to make your whole family laugh and remember the birthday for years to come.
Leaving One Kid Behind
Generally when I travel, I either have both girls or no girls (though it is very rare for me to travel solo!). Out of curiosity on Thursday, I looked up fares to Austin for this weekend and was floored by the cheap tickets! Camille had an event at home that she had been wanting to
congress ave bridge – 27 mar 2011
Chloe and I enjoyed our short walk from start line to finish line yesterday. We even managed to beat the winners of the race for once!
in jail – 26 mar 2011
Chloe put herself in jail today … in a ghost town in Manor, TX. A very nice place to visit!
feels later than it is
despite the time change only being one hour, Chloe and I are feeling the effects of getting up way too early and going back in time. I was up around 5am, a bit earlier than I have been getting up (thought I’d love to rise that early on a regular basis!). Then we traveled to
Seeing: J. Lorraine Ghost Town (outside Austin)
Chloe and I arrived in Austin on an early morning flight from Atlanta and settled in at my parents’ house. After a couple hours of hanging out at the house and down by the river where Chloe even found some nice fossils, we decided to find something to do. My parents had been to a
Photo Friday: Panola Mountain State Park
On Tuesday, we went to Panola Mountain State Park, just east of Atlanta. While we spent most of our time in the area near the nature center, we did take a short drive to the other end of the park where the bike path runs. It is an area we hope to return to once
Around Atlanta: Panola Mountain State Park
A gorgeous spring morning in Atlanta deserves an outing! With our new Georgia State Parks pass, we decided to head over to Panola Mountain State Park. Similar to Arabia Mountain, a DeKalb County park, the park features a granite outcrop. Unlike Arabia Mountain, access to the outcrop is limited to guided tours, mostly on the

The girls went “biking” at Panola Mountain State Park …
