sunrise – 16 jan 2011
I love, love watching the sunrise at the beach! Amazing to watch the sky change every second…
camille – 14 jan 2011
Once again, I couldn’t get the girls to a museum. It was pool, beach and (ugh) tv all day. Thankfully, mostly it was beach and pool. I even got to read half of my book while at the pool! I never want to leave. Days of work them beach and pool are my heart’s desire.
sea life
When swimming at the beach, sea life tends to make me a little nervous. Crabs nipping at my toes, little fish who like to nibble at me, jellyfish ready to sting. But what swam up to Camille today was something I’d never have expected — manatees!! Unfortunately, she was paying attention to jumping in the
Photo Friday: Poolside in Fort Lauderdale
We managed to escape the winter craziness in Atlanta (school cancelled for FIVE days in a row) and find ourselves a in what seems like the only warm spot left, southeast Florida. The girls and I are tag-a-longs on a business trip of Rob’s here at the Ritz-Carlton in Fort Lauderdale. On our own travels,
the hardest part of the journey?
Getting to the airport. Atlanta was shut down today for a third day in a row. Our street is a sheet of ice. Thinking ahead, we decided to move the car up to the top of the hill mid-afternoon yesterday when the ice was slightly slushy. So, this morning, we headed out, dragging our suitcases
ocean view – 12 jan 2011
I had resigned myself to the fact that we would likely not be getting a room with an ocean view. I had convinced myself that an intrracoastal view would be quite interesting and good enough. So, my jaw dropped when the bellman opened the door to the room and I could see off over the

Snowed in for the second day in a row and getting a little concerned about our flight tomorrow — Between flight cancellations and road closures, I’m not sure we’ll be going anywhere! 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
Mondays are for Dreaming: Home!
So often am I dreaming of trips we have taken or trips I want to take, that I forget to live in the moment and cherish the sweet little hamlet we call home! As I had written in a previous Monday Dream (White Christmas), I was dreaming of snow. And snow we have. Not because
Photo Friday: Tellico River
Sunday evening, at my mom’s cabin in North Georgia, I turned on my work computer for the first time in a week. Just for the heck of it, I checked the 2011 holiday calendar. Just imagine my surprise and joy at finding out I had one more day off! Taking advantage of my reprieve, we
Roadtrip: Discover KSC
Last week after breakfast at our hotel in Cocoa Beach, we headed up the coast just a little ways to Kennedy Space Center. Thinking ahead, Rob had gone online a few days ahead of time to buy entrance tickets and tickets for the Discover KSC Tour. The line at the entrance for tickets was packed,
girls – 4 jan 2011
I worked during the morning, and the girls went to town with my mom during the afternoon. I realized, as it was getting dark out, that I hadn’t taken any photos yet … Here, the girls were watching Jeopardy on my mom’s computer (via Texas)…
Casey Key is Shell Island
While we were in Florida, the wind was biting cold. But that didn’t stop me from getting to the beach. (The beach, always the beach. I can’t imagine living anywhere that is further form a beach than we are now. Six hours from the beach is already too far. I want to be closer to

Happy New Year! I can’t believe it is Tuesday (and back to work after the holidays for me) We’ve returned from our little trip to Florida and are now hanging out in the woods of North Georgia for a few days … I love what I’ve been reading out there on the web, and I’d
Mondays are for Dreaming: Planning for 2011
Yesterday, as I reviewed our travels from 2010, I was amazed at all the places, new and old, that we visited in one year, and I realized that a simple goal of “travel more in 2011” is neither realistic nor practical. In 2010, I dusted off this old blog, spent time cleaning it up and
Year in Review: 2010
January: As we usually do, we started the new year off at the cabin. While there, we went on lots of
Photo Friday: Casey Key
As I’ve mentioned before, the beach is the place I dream of the most. While in Florida earlier this week, we spent a night at Cocoa Beach on the Atlantic coast. But then, we headed across Florida to the gulf coast, and, despite the chilly wind, we spent a bit of time beachcombing on Casey
Roadtrip: Cocoa Beach, FL
At the last minute, we decided to take advantage of our week off from work and activities and head to Florida. I hadn’t been to the beach recently enough and Rob thought it would be a good idea to visit with his parents’. We decided to spend one night at Cocoa Beach and visit Kennedy
Travels in Turkey: Final Thoughts
Travels in Turkey, Part 12 of 12 When I started this series of posts on our trip to Turkey, I had no idea I’d be finishing up with it in the last week of the year. But, here it is, just days away form 2011. Needless to say, Turkey was our biggest family trip of

This week has a bit of travel in it, at last, as I write from the gulf coast of Florida today! 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: DIY Holidays: Joanna Goldberg sends
Mondays are for Dreaming: Knowing When to Divert the Flow
As I sit here, watching the sun rise over the Atlantic Ocean, I am having a difficult time dreaming of being anywhere else at the moment. Despite the frigid temperatures, the beach is still the place I dream of the most. I love visiting and learning about other places, of course, but the beach is
