For the seventh year in a row, we made our pilgrimage to Austin for the Austin City Limits Music Festival. With both girls in school now, it was a whirlwind of a trip. Drive 900 miles on Thursday. Go to three full days of music. Drive 900 miles home on Monday. But it was very

Back in October, the girls and I headed to Texas for the weekend for our annual pilgrimage to the Austin City Limits Music Festival. When we first started going, it was solely for the kids’ stage, Austin Kiddie Limits. The children’s area has grown through the years, and we still love hanging out there early
photo friday: “backstage” at austin city limits
Back in October, the girls and I headed to Texas for the weekend for our annual pilgrimage to the Austin City Limits Music Festival. This year, however, we had a special treat — “backstage” passes! These lovely little red wristbands allowed us to enter the guest areas — free sodas and water, “cleaner” port-a-potties, chairs
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

Two weekends ago, the girls and I made our annual pilgrimage to Austin for the Austin City Limits Music Festval. We love hanging out at “Austin Kiddie Limits”, listening to great bands, sampling local food and digging in the sand on Zilker Beach. This is an entry for Delicious Babyโs Photo Friday

Last week, we drove to Texas for our annual pilgrimage to the Austin City Limits Music Festival. Camille’s first request upon arriving at my parents’ house in the Austin suburbs? Going to eat at Chuy’s. If you’ve never been to Chuy’s, you must get yourself to one. They used to only be in Texas, but
Photo Friday: Roadside America (I-20 ATL > TX)
Just a few days before our “epic trip out west“, I was daydreaming about all the “Great American Sights” we were planning to see – Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, Yosemite. But that wasn’t enough. What about the “quirkier side” of this crazy country? A very short search (we were running out of time) later, I settled
Out West Trip: Day 4 (Georgetown TX to Carlsbad, NM)
And, we’re off! (yet again…but this time for real! After some last minute work and packing, we hit the road. Last night, we decided to take the backroads instead of the highway. As we left Georgetown, we did have to get on the interstate — for one mile — our one mile of interstate all
Out West Trip: Day 2 (Georgetown, TX)
Though we are on our “out west trip”, today was more of a hang out at grandma and grandpa’s house kind of the day. I worked for about ten hours straight, trying to get a good head start on the week. Rob and the girls decided to go do something fun, so they decided to
Out West Trip: Day 1 (Atlanta to Georgetown, 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)
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
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.
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: Cameron Park Zoo
Since Camille got her pick of a fiber festival on the Saturday of our final weekend in Texas, we decided to give Chloe her pick on Sunday — the zoo! But which zoo? Chloe wanted Houston (too far), we had been south on I-35 twice already (ruling out San Antonio), so that left us to
Photo Friday: Boerne, TX
While we were in TX for two weeks at the start of the month, I promised the girls that we would do some day trips beyond Georgetown/Austin. The first weekend, we headed to San Antonio. For the second weekend, we did not take off an overnight trip, but we did explore two places new to
San Antonio Views
As I’ve mentioned, the girls, Barbara and I visited San Antonio while we were spending a couple of weeks in Texas. While we enjoyed visiting the San Antonio Museum of Art, the Riverwalk via boat, La Villita, Market Square and the Alamo, I think my lists of things I want to go back and see
Photo Friday: San Antonio
Not only am I a day behind on my Photo Friday, I’m behind on everything right now. So it seems only fitting that this Photo Friday post be comprised of photos from our trip to San Antonio two weeks ago. As always, a few good days in one place and I’ll get caught back up
