San Antonio Overnight
We were so tired from our

While we are in Texas for an extended stay, I figured I’d try to get the girls out to see more than just Zilker Park and Georgetown…. This past weekend, we headed down I-35 to San Antonio. I was shocked at how little I recognized along the Austin-SA corridor — so much has changed! Upon
First Night Georgetown
When my parents first moved to Georgetown in the eighties, it was a sleepy little town almost too far north of Austin to be considered a suburb. The town was mostly dry; to get a drink in a restaurant, you had to join the “club”. Georgetown has changed quite a lot in the past twenty
On the Road: Gone to Texas
Two and a half weeks after returning from Texas, we hit I-20 headed west once again. This trip was not a music roadtrip, but a work-related one. As a telecommuter, I am used to not having f2f (face-to-face) contact with my co-workers; I’ve been working from home for the same company (modulo an acquisition) for
Austin City Limits, Take 4
For the fourth year in a row, the girls and I have headed off to Texas for a long weekend of music at the Austin City Limits Festival. Our dual purpose has been for us to spend time with my parents and to hear great kids’ music, but this year our trip morphed into a

It’s hard for me to believe it has already been a week since the first day of our three-days at Austin City Limits. In the four days since, we’ve driven back to Atlanta, unpacked and packed for today’s adventure. But, while we were there, we had a great time. Great music, friends, food, and fun!
Photo Friday: Gone To Texas
On Tuesday afternoon after a morning of work and packing, the girls and I jumped in the car for our annual pilgrimage to Texas. I love the drive across Texas from Louisiana to I-35 via Tyler and Corsicana. There’s no interstate there, so we drive a four (and sometimes two) lane road though dusty Texas
austin adventures
Last fall, my mom came home from an auction with a Biscuit Brothers CD and tickets to a show at the Paramount Theatre in Austin. For April. The concert has been sitting on my calendar for all these months, but, until Wednesday evening, I wasn’t sure whether we’d make the trip to Texas. We did.
red poppy festival
last night, after our adventure filled drive and dinner at my parents’ house, we ventured out, 7 of us packed in my mom’s car, to the square for the Red Poppy Festival. My first remark was that Georgetown has changed dramatically in the past 20 years. People were sitting, on the courthouse lawn, with glasses
wild weather today
we had planned to have breakfast and then swim before leaving, but the weather report made me rethink our plans. I hoped that by leaving earlier, we would hit the storms before they had gotten stronger. Maybe that’s true or maybe not, but we had some wild weather. In Louisiana, the clouds started to get
GTT (gone to texas)
Last Wednesday (was it really almost a week ago?), I spent the morning working. Then packing. Packing for our trip to Texas. To visit family. Or maybe really to go to the Austin City Limits Festival, since both my mom and sister were in other cities. Packing has gotten to be quite easy. The girls
wildflowers
On Tuesday, after we dropped Jim and Marty off at the airport, Barbara, the girls and I headed off to the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. While the wildflowers weren’t as numerous as I remembered in the past, it was such a nice place to be! We wandered around the gardens, then the woods and
Capital 10K
On Sunday, we woke early and headed down to Austin. Barbara, Phil, Jim and Marty were planning to walk, Suze and Luis to run, the girls and I to drink coffee and cheer them all on. (In the end, Jim chose to run.) It was FREEZING early, so as the race started, I ended with
Happy Birthday, Grandma!
On Saturday, the girls and I got up early and headed to the airport in the rain for our 8:40 flight. The weather was bad, but not bad enough to delay the flight. The plane was tiny, so Camille had to sit in the row ahead of Chloe and me. There was a medical emergency
More Austin Kiddie Limits
After three days of music festival, I am tired!! It’s been go go go , and we still need to go home … Here’s Camille with her Aunt Suze and Luis at Austin City Limits today.

The girls are having tons of fun at the festival.
