photo friday: corn maze
Each fall, we try to make sure to have a “fall outing” to a pumpkin farm, apple picking or a corn maze. As Thanksgiving approached and we had not yet gone on our annual outing, I feared that maybe we had put it off too long. But luckily, we found a corn maze near the
phelix goes hiking
This morning, after breakfast (and Phelix’s nap), we loaded up in the car and headed out to Sweetwater Creek State Park for a hike with the puppy. We first headed down to the creek and did some rock scrambling. Phelix *loved* the water. The frigid water. He was ready to jump in and SWIM! A
light up blue ridge
For the past few years, it has been our custom to headed down to Blue Ridge on the Saturday following Thanksgiving. And over the years it has grown and grown in size. My mom plays in the “Tuba Christmas” then we watch the Christmas parade and then we wander around. This year, there was even

While we were Tybee Island back in September, our campground was just up the street from the Tybee Island Light Station and Museum. On Saturday morning, we walked over to explore. Unfortunately, when we got there, we were informed that no bags are allowed in. Not wanting to walk all the way back to the

For Chloe’s September break from school, I managed to take two long weekends. For the first long weekend, we headed off to Orlando to visit Legoland and Harry Potter World. But for the second weekend, we got to visit a place that I’ve been wanting to visit for a long time…. Tybee Island! I reseved
“Parking Wars” in Tybee Island
A couple months ago, i spent a recuperating-from-cleaning Sunday on the couch. Even with the 100 channels that we now get with our cable tv, I could find nothing to watch. I finally settled on a “Parking Wars” marathon. After watching what people have to go through to retrieve their towed cars, I vowed to

After a bit of a later arrival than hoped and setting up our campsite and then a dip in the pool to cool off, the girls and I set off on our bikes to explore. We didn’t get very far, but we did find the lighthouse, the ice cream place and the beach…

Back in August, Camille and I loaded up Evie (our VW pop top), swung by Chloe’s school to pick her up and headed south to Kolomoki Mounds Historic Park for a weekend of camping and history studies. We arrived around 7pm, so the office was closed, but we found our way to the campground and

After our Saturday morning hike at Ocmulgee National Monument, we headed south to Georgia Veterans State Park. Silly us, we had brought our own watermelon to south Georgia. We saw BUSLOADS of watermelons as we drove the backroads to the park. Truly and honestly, busloads. One day, I want to get pictures of these buses
Dragon*Con Weekend
Rob and the girls headed off to the “big city” for a weekend of hanging out with a lot of enthusiastic sci-fi/fantasy fans and hopefully getting to meet some stars….

Back in June, Rob, the girls and I spent an evening at Medieval Times. Rob and Camille had gone before, but this was the first time that Chloe and I had been. And we had a blast cheering on the Blue Knight…who did not win, unfortunately. At the end, Chloe insisted on staying and getting
Georgia: Etowah Indian Mounds, Take 2
When Camille and I were at Etowah Indian Mounds State Historic Site a few weeks ago, we spotted a notice for an upcoming Saturday event full of activities. Since I wanted to get the cabin, but we couldn’t leave on Friday due to Chloe’s school picnic, we decided to return and bring Chloe along. The
Georgia: KIRBO Interpretive Center
When Rob, the girls and I camped at Florence Marina State park lat February so we could hike in Providence Canyon State Park, we wanted to visit the Kirbo Interpretive Center, which “… showcases area wildlife and plants, local history and Native Americans, including artifacts from the prehistoric Paleo-Indian period through the early 20th century.”
Georgia: Kolomoki Indian Mounds
Last weekend, the girls and I loaded up Evie for a weekend of camping at Kolomoki Mounds Historic Park as part of Camille’s native cultures in Georgia. From Kolomoki Mounds Historic Park: This historically significant park is the oldest and largest Woodland Indian site in the southeastern United States, occupied by American Indians from 350
Georgia: Etowah Indian Mounds
This past Friday while Chloe was tucked safely in a chair at school, because how else could she learn, Camille and I took a field trip up to Etowah indian Mounds Historic Site as part of her studies on native cultures in Georgia. It took a little longer to get there than I had realized,
Georgia: Track Rock Gap
While in Blue Ridge a couple weeks ago, the girls and I visited a couple places from our list of field trips regarding native cultures in Georgia. We first (with Rob..) went to Fort Mountain State Park to see the ancient wall there. The next day, the girls and I headed out east of Blairsville
braves game: what game?
As a fundraiser, Chloe’s gymnastics team sold $10 general admission tickets to the Braves vs. Mets game last Saturday. While it complicated our travel plans, I thought it would be a good way for Chloe to get the chance to feel more a part of the team if she went and “did a lap” around
Georgia: Fort Mountain Wall
The girls and I headed up to Blue Ridge a couple of weeks ago to spend a little time at the cabin. While there we decided to take the time to visit a few of the places from our list of native cultures in Georgia. After a series of false starts and a little comedy
Georgia: Ocmulgee National Monument
Despite not having finished up last year’s history studies, Camille has already started up on next year’s project Georgia history, since we are hoping to get in as many field trips as possible, and summer is a nice time for field trips! Our first field trip was to Fernbank Museum of Natural History, just down
