scenes from the road: GTT (Gone to Texas)
While I had planned an early morning departure, we didn’t leave the condo until 5:30am. And then we had to make a library run — Decatur is awfully deserted at that time of day on a Sunday! We drove by two police cars and an ambulance facing the wrong direction on DeKalb Ave; I hate
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
Scenes from the road: Time to clean the windshield

Photo Friday: Roadside America (I-20 ATL > TX)

900 miles and 16 hours later we have finished the first full day of our “epic road trip out west”! We’re going to take a couple of days here at my parents’ house to stock up on anything that we felt we were missing (so far all that list includes is a hat for me)
Pit Stop: Visiting Friends
I love it when a plan comes together so nicely. Back in January, I realized that Rob and my mom were about to have overlapping meetings in New Orleans, and I figured it was finally time for us to get back to the Big Easy… We haven’t been since Chloe was a baby, pre-Katrina. Since
Photo Friday: Better than a Pot Of Gold
Two weeks ago, the girls and I spent much of Saturday in the car. We saw highways and bridges. We listened to books and music. We made PB&Js while burning up the miles. And, what we found at the end of the ribbon of highway was not a pot of gold. No, it was even
Crossing the Mississippi
We went through part of Hurricane Humberto today on our way to Texas.
