Seeing: Dauset Trails
While camping at High Falls State Park just south of Atlanta last weekend, we decided to take a short side trip to visit Dauset Trails Nature Center, a “private, non-profit nature center based on environmental education”. We easily found the center. There were quite a lot of other families there, picnicking and enjoying the beautiful
Camping: High Falls State Park
We finally got Evie back from here week in the shop. Nothing was “wrong” with her, but there were a number of issues that needed to be dealt with, such as the non-functioning gas gauge and the windshield wiper fluid spraying off onto the car behind. Not wanting to travel too far from home, yet
Photo Friday: High Falls State Park
Last weekend we headed just a little ways south of Atlanta and went camping at High Falls State Park along the Towaliga River. Though the temperatures dipped below freezing the first night, we had a wonderful spring-like Saturday exploring the park. This is an entry for Delicious Baby’s Photo Friday.
Doing: MagiQuest
On one of our trips to Myrtle Beach, we visited the Ripley’s Aquarium at Broadway at the Beach and stumbled across MagiQuest. As my girls love fantasy, making up adventure games and Harry Potter, they were immediately intrigued. At home, they went online and learned all they could about this interactive role-playing game involving magical
Travel Tuesday: Weekly Highlights for 15 Mar 2011
We spent last weekend camping with “Evie” and work has been nuts, but, nevertheless, I do try to keep up with my rss subscriptions! 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: Mother of
Camping: Myrtle Beach State Park
As I mentioned in my post Photo Friday: Myrtle Beach, we spent three days camping at Myrtle Beach State Park last month. Before we headed out to pick up “Evie”, we booked a amping site via the park’s website, hoping that we’d have a nice one. Upon arrival, we registered and were given the wifi

A nice day of being outdoors at the park!
high falls state park – 11 mar 2011
We finally managed to get everything packed up and got out the door. The park wasn’t too far away, so we had plenty of time to register and pick out a nice site along the river.
Photo Friday: Myrtle Beach
A few weeks ago we headed out to North Carolina to pick up my mid-life crisis vehicle that we had won in an eBay auction. Since we were already at the coast, we decided to give her a camping test run at Myrtle Beach State Park. Oh, how I love to be at the beach!!
chaos in the house
I thought we had packing down to a science. And I thought the work I had done to outfit Evie would make it so we could just hop in and go. But, somehow, things did not go well this morning. Three hours later and we are still not sure that we have everything ready to
Seeing: Audubon Zoo
We woke on our last morning in New Orleans to a freezing, windy day. After I had worked a bit and had rescued the car from its garage, the girls and I checked out of the hotel and drove down St Charles to the Audubon Zoo (and they all ask’d for you.) The dramatic change
Seeing: Audubon Insectarium
The “Audubon Experience” package that we purchased in New Orleans included the Audubon Insectarium. I hadn’t planned o going (bugs?), but as it was part of the package and centrally located on Canal Street, I figured we might as well give it a try. We had a few free hours and the rain outside convinced
Travel Tuesday: Weekly Highlights for 8 Mar 2011
Been home these past few weeks, busy with projects at work and projects around the house. I haven’t been posting here much, 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: Arrows Sent Forth:
Mondays are for Dreaming: Paris
How clichรฉ can you get? But yes, today I dream of Paris. It is hard to believe that a year and a half has passed since my last trip to the City of Light. As a child/teen, I visited Paris twice and thought I was the luckiest kid ever. Fresh out of grad school, I
Photo Friday: New Orleans Riverfront Park
On our first night and then our first morning in New Orleans we wandered along in Woldenberg Park, along the Mississippi between Canal Street and Cafe du Monde. On Sunday evening, the girls danced in the bandstand, Barbara geocached, I took photos…until the storm finally reached us. Monday, the girls and I walked along, enjoying
Travel Tuesday: Weekly Highlights for 1 Mar 2011
A weekend spent picking up our new roadtripping vehicle and camping at the beach in Myrtle Beach was just what I needed! But now we’re back home again, and 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
Mondays are for Dreaming: (The Wonderful World of) Disney
Ah Disney. Every family dreams of heading to Disney. Or not. I personally don’t dream of Disney. But my kids sure do…almost as much as they dream of going back to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. It’s not that they’ve never been to Disney. Truth be told, they’ve been to Disney on three continents.
Travel Tip: I’m Lost
Reading Travelling with Doggie Tags from The Wee Life, I was reminded of a post I wrote almost two years ago, just before I put this blog on hiatus for a year. Since then, we’ve managed to lose Chloe twice, once in NYC and once in Istanbul. Given, in both cases we lost her for
Seeing: Audubon Aquarium of the Americas
We spent our Monday in New Orleans sailing on the river, inhaling powdered sugar and riding the rails, waiting for it to be Tuesday when the museums would be open. Tuesday morning the girls and I headed down to the waterfront to visit the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas. We had already decided to splurge
Photo Friday: South of the Border
If you’ve ever driven on I-95 in the Carolinas, you’ve seen the billboards. Almost as prevalent as the signs for Lookout Mountain, they grab your attention. On our trip to Wilmington, NC, to pick up my new car last week, I gave in to the signs, and we stopped…at South of the Border, “Americaโs favorite
