photo friday: carolina colleges
Back in February, Camille and I continued her college search by visiting four schools in North Carolina and South Carolina. The trip was rife with challenges from the start, and the snow and ice didn’t help. Snowed out of this. Snowed out of that. Delays and cancellations. Ice covered roads. Slips and falls. But we

While walking the beach at Hilton Head, we observed some of the local fauna. Lots of jellyfish, crabs and others.
off the beaten path
Hurry, hurry, hurry. Gotta to get it all done and there’s no time to do it all! I feel like I’e been living this way recently, and I need to find a way to reset it.(Once I get everything done!) I still have a long laundry list of things that need to be done before

My final photo Friday from winter break at Edisto Island. I guess it is now time for us to head back to the beach!

One of my favorite things to do while at the beach is to get up early and watch the sun rise. While it was a bit too chilly for me to want to spen too much time on the beach so early in the morning, I did manage to get oout of my warm sleeping

February break. I don’t have enough vacation days to take the week off and go somewhere far flung. But I also hate to see a break pass without an outing or special trip of some sort. Like last February, I decided to head to Edisto Island State Park. camping site practically on the beach, and

As we thought about where to go for Chloe’s “winter” break, I decided it had been too long since I’ve been to the beach. With money being tight as we were in the midst of three different real estate transactions, I knew we’d have to make it a camping trip and keep it short (so
photo friday: myrtle beach
A month ago (terribly cliche, but my time sure does fly!) the girls and I spent a few days in Myrtle Beach with friends at our “usual” hotel. The girls enjoyed playing at MagiQuest, eating room service dinner and playing on the beach. A simple, true break. Well, other than the fact that I worked
Doing: MagiQuest
On one of our trips to Myrtle Beach, we visited the Ripley’s Aquarium at Broadway at the Beach and stumbled across MagiQuest. As my girls love fantasy, making up adventure games and Harry Potter, they were immediately intrigued. At home, they went online and learned all they could about this interactive role-playing game involving magical
Camping: Myrtle Beach State Park
As I mentioned in my post Photo Friday: Myrtle Beach, we spent three days camping at Myrtle Beach State Park last month. Before we headed out to pick up “Evie”, we booked a amping site via the park’s website, hoping that we’d have a nice one. Upon arrival, we registered and were given the wifi
Photo Friday: Myrtle Beach
A few weeks ago we headed out to North Carolina to pick up my mid-life crisis vehicle that we had won in an eBay auction. Since we were already at the coast, we decided to give her a camping test run at Myrtle Beach State Park. Oh, how I love to be at the beach!!
Photo Friday: South of the Border
If you’ve ever driven on I-95 in the Carolinas, you’ve seen the billboards. Almost as prevalent as the signs for Lookout Mountain, they grab your attention. On our trip to Wilmington, NC, to pick up my new car last week, I gave in to the signs, and we stopped…at South of the Border, “Americaโs favorite
a different myrtle beach
The girls and I have been off to Myrtle Beach a number of times, including Jan 2010, Sep 2009, May 2009 and Feb 2009 …. but those trips were unlike this latest one. All those times, we stayed in a nice hotel on the beach. And this time, well, we stayed at Myrtle Beach State
destination birthday party
back in september, camille decided that what she really wanted for her birthday was a trip to MagiQuest. we had visited it on our last trip to Myrtle Beach, and it seemed to be exactly the kind of thing Camille would love to do. to increase the fun, we decided to invite two of her
sun and surf
As happy as I was to get home and stay home for more than a couple days, after two weeks I knew that I needed to get away. The drudgery of being at home was getting to me. Even if I can’t get away from the homeschooling and work, a change of scenery always helps
Kingston Plantation, Myrtle Beach
A couple of months ago, I had the irresistible urge to get to the ocean. This seems to happen every year in the winter. I must get to a place where I can see the sun rise over the horizon, hear the waves and feel the sand. It doesn’t matter if the ocean temperature is
Exploring the Coast
After my computer died Monday morning, we headed out down the coast to visit Pawley’s Island. At Pawley’s Island, we found the parking lot and headed out to the beach. We made sandwiches, complete with real sand. Chloe huddled under a beach towel to stay warm while Camille played. Chloe decided that it really wasn’t
