photo friday: giant’s causeway
We made it! Giant’s Causeway had been on my wish list for years and years, and I wasn’t going to pass up the chance to go while we were in Ireland. The trip there was long, but I am so glad that we finally got to see this amazing place.

While walking the beach at Hilton Head, we observed some of the local fauna. Lots of jellyfish, crabs and others.
photo friday: panama city beach
Of course, our main reason for visiting Panama City Beach is the beach! The sand is soft and the water lovely. Unfortunately, the gulf had a lot of seaweed, so we did most of our swimming in the pool. In any case, we love walking on the beach, hearing the waves, and relishing the beauty

Santorini – for such a small island there were so many things to do, and we couldn’t get them all in during our short stay. With Camille’s love for all things ancient, I decided that a trip to Akrotiri would be an excellent choice. The active archaeological dig is also a museum where visitors get
Greece Trip: Day 9
We got going a little bit earlier today than yesterday in order to catch an earlier bus to Thira. After another nice breakfast, we walked down to the Kamari bus stop and waited for the bus. In Thira, we switched to the bus to Akrotiri. Though worried the bus would drop us in town, after
Greece Trip: Day 7
Our alarm went off early this morning so we could get up, dressed, packed and down to breakfast before 6am. The taxi had already arrived when I went down to check out. The trip to the port was quick; a little too quick for Chloe, though. We made our way onto the ferry and found

My final photo Friday from winter break at Edisto Island. I guess it is now time for us to head back to the beach!
photo friday: lovely light at edisto beach state park
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
photo friday: camping at edisto island state park
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

photo friday: lieutenant island
For our summer vacation this year, we headed up to Cape Cod to join my parents and sister and Luis for a week at the beach. The house my mom found was on a lovely little island called “Lieutenant Island” on the bay side of Wellfleet. This “for residents only” island is connected to the

While we were on the beach the other day, Chloe and I watched some kids playing in the surf and the tidepools on skimboards. Chloe, of course, wanted to give it a try too. The store in town had rows and rows of boards. I agreed; skimboarding looked right up her alley. After choosing the

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
photo friday: coastal san francisco
While in San Francisco, we stayed at my sister’s place for much of the time, and took advantage of her close proximity to the beach! Too cold for swimming, but never too cold to walk near the water and gaze out at the long horizon… I sure do wish I lied closer to the ocean!
Spring Break Day 6: Golden Gate Park
After a quiet morning of breakfast and picking up, we headed out to the playground. It was a chillier day, but the sky was still quite clear and blue. From the playground, we walked up and up and up and then down to the Lands’ End Lookout and then along the beach. There were so
Spring Break Day 4: Coastal Trail
I was up before 5am, taking care of a number of things including making coffee. I managed to get the girls up and ready for the day, then we walked down the street to the Coastal Trail. What a view — and what a hill to climb! At last, we made it up and over!

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
