photo friday: salthill
On one of our days in Galway, we walked along the beach to Salthill, spotting the apartment we stayed at when we were here in 2003. Chloe and I went to the Galway Aquarium while Camille and Barbara went to eat Fish and Chips. Then we walked through Salthill, stopping in at the arcade for
photo friday: national zoo
It is rare that we make a trip to DC and skip the zoo, not even for bad weather. In the past few years, we’ve certainly been there more often than our own zoo here in Atlanta. I think Chloe’s favorite place on earth is the reptile house at the National Zoo; I can’t tell
photo friday: yellow river game ranch
Year after year, I’ve wanted to join the crowds at Yellow River Game Ranch early in the morning on Groundhog’s Day to see General Beauregard Lee make his prediction. And this year we finally got to go! I thought we were getting there early, but by the time we arrived, the parking lot was packed!
Travels: Chattanooga Sights
Last week, my mom, the girls and I traveled up to Chattanooga to attend a Lunch Money concert. I decided to splurge a little and stay at the ever-so fun Chattanooga Choo Choo Hotel. Since we were in Chattanooga for less than 24-hours and some of that time was at the concert, we had to
Out West Trip: Day 15 (Morro Bay, CA to Capitola, CA)
Today’s Highlights: Bagels and wi-fi at a coffee shop overlooking the Pacific, listening to a kindie band at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, ice cream in the no longer flooded coastal town of Capitola. We woke to the sounds of the ocean. Once we were changed and packed up in the drizzling rain, we headed to
Out West Trip: Day 5 (Carlsbad, NM)
Today’s Highlights: A tortoise trying to eat corn at the Living Desert Zoo, Carlsbad Caverns, seeing a wildfire across the lake I woke up as the sun rose to work. Despite record high temperatures during the day (hitting 100), the morning was frigid. I wore my heavy fleece with the hood up and was still
Seeing: Audubon Zoo
We woke on our last morning in New Orleans to a freezing, windy day. After I had worked a bit and had rescued the car from its garage, the girls and I checked out of the hotel and drove down St Charles to the Audubon Zoo (and they all ask’d for you.) The dramatic change
Seeing: Audubon Insectarium
The “Audubon Experience” package that we purchased in New Orleans included the Audubon Insectarium. I hadn’t planned o going (bugs?), but as it was part of the package and centrally located on Canal Street, I figured we might as well give it a try. We had a few free hours and the rain outside convinced
Seeing: Audubon Aquarium of the Americas
We spent our Monday in New Orleans sailing on the river, inhaling powdered sugar and riding the rails, waiting for it to be Tuesday when the museums would be open. Tuesday morning the girls and I headed down to the waterfront to visit the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas. We had already decided to splurge
Over the Hedge (Rockin’ the Suburbs)
We had a slow start to the day — I spent the morning working and the girls did a little bit of homeschooling (once they woke up). Then we headed out to the “suburbs” to go to the National Zoo. Note that this is tongue-in-cheek, even more ridiculous than someone in midtown Atlanta saying that
Spitfire the Turtle
These crazy girls; I wonder if they have ever seen Spanish moss before? It makes for great dress up I guess. Playing with it was one of the highlights of our morning walk through the historical district of Jekyll Island. The other was a trip to the Georgia Sea Turtle Center. Last year, a month
