A beautiful, surreal beach. And every time we’ve gone – it is practically deserted!

I am usually not a fan of mini-golf, but Chloe and I had a great time golfing while on Jekyll!

You have to watch where you step, because the beach at Jekyll is littered with these guys. I’m never sure if I should toss them back into the ocean or leave them where they are …
around atlanta: the whistle stop cafe
When planning our Saturday around Camille’s GHP interview in Locust Grove, we decided to visit some colleges near Macon. When I noticed that The Whistle Stop Cafe was between Locust Grove and Macon, I just knew we had to go and have some Fried Green Tomatoes … at last!

This fall has been a stressful one in terms of work. Always behind, can’t seem to catch up. And, unfortunately, this made our first trip to Saint Simons not nearly as fun as it should have been. Lovely place, and I look forward to returning someday.

As with MLK weekend 2014, we headed to a yurt at High Falls State Park. Not far from Atlanta, the park makes a perfect weekend getaway. The yurts are a comfortable home-away-from-home for a weekend. With heat, lights and electricity, we were comfortable (I remembered to bring my coffee pot….no going out in the cold

For the long weekend in January, I was finally able to do something I had been wanting to do for a long time…stay in one of the Georgia State Park yurts! We had been warned that they don’t hold heat well, so we stocked up on blankets and sleeping bags. However, the yurts at High

While on our trip to Tybee Island back in Septmeber, we decided to try out a number of the restaurants. As I don’t eat seafood, I can’t say anything about how fresh the food was. But we loved the varying atmospheres in the various places !

While we were in Tybee Island back in September, we decided to spen a few hours exploring Fort Pulaski. Unfortunately, just as we got there, the skies turned dark and we were up against a thunderstorm.

While in Tybee Island in September, we decided to take a day to visit Savannah. Having never been there before, and because of the heat, we decided to try out one of the off-on trolley tours. While it was a fun way to see some of the old city, I don’t think we’d opt for

go fly a kite.
that’s what I said. and that’s what she did today. At the start of the summer, I made us a long list of fun things that we might like to do this summer. While we didn’t do everything on the list, we gave it the ole college try. The list helped me convince all of
september break.
This past week, my Facebook feed was filled with “back to school” photos. But for us in Decatur, where school started on August first, we are finishing up the first “term” and are starting our first break. As we headed down the highway to Tybee, we didn’t see car after car of families heading to

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
