beach – 20 feb 2011
Knowing that it was going to be a cooler day and that the girls were hoping to go to MagiQuest, I took off for a morning walk on the beach. I was the only person out on the gorgeous beach. Oh how I love the beach!
beach – 19 feb 2011
Aside from getting used to the new van, getting organized and preparing meals, we spent most of our day either in the campground or at the beach. It turned out to be a gorgeous, relaxing day. Unfortunately, Rob had to head home midday and miss out on the afternoon beach trip and Camille cooking dinner
Scenes from Beach Blvd in Ft. Lauderdale
On our trip to Fort Lauderdale last month, we stayed at a nice hotel right on the boulevard which runs along the beach, aptly named Beach Boulevard. During our stay, we walked up and down this boulevard a number of times each day and visited a few of the businesses. The first night, we went
Photo Friday: Better than a Pot Of Gold
Two weeks ago, the girls and I spent much of Saturday in the car. We saw highways and bridges. We listened to books and music. We made PB&Js while burning up the miles. And, what we found at the end of the ribbon of highway was not a pot of gold. No, it was even
Staying: The Ritz-Carlton, Fort Lauderdale, FL
When Rob told us where his meeting in Fort Lauderdale was to be held, I didn’t want to go. A chance to go to the beach? What’s not to like about that? I was scared, terrified of where we would be staying. No, it wasn’t in a crime ridden part of town that would be
mississippi – 29 jan 2011
The girls and I packed up and headed out mid-morning. After driving on the interstate most of the way, we got off of I-10 in Gulfport for the final twenty miles of the trip and drove along some beautiful beaches!
Photo Friday: Fort Lauderdale Wildlife
When swimming at the beach, sea life tends to make me a little nervous. Crabs nipping at my toes, little fish who like to nibble at me, jellyfish ready to sting. But what swam up to Camille last week was something I’d never have expected — manatees!! Unfortunately, she was paying attention to jumping in
cloudy – 17 jan 2011
Our last day in Fort Lauderdale was a cloudy, rainy one, but Chloe managed to sneak in some time at the pool anyway.
sunrise – 16 jan 2011
I love, love watching the sunrise at the beach! Amazing to watch the sky change every second…
camille – 14 jan 2011
Once again, I couldn’t get the girls to a museum. It was pool, beach and (ugh) tv all day. Thankfully, mostly it was beach and pool. I even got to read half of my book while at the pool! I never want to leave. Days of work them beach and pool are my heart’s desire.

Photo Friday: Poolside in Fort Lauderdale
We managed to escape the winter craziness in Atlanta (school cancelled for FIVE days in a row) and find ourselves a in what seems like the only warm spot left, southeast Florida. The girls and I are tag-a-longs on a business trip of Rob’s here at the Ritz-Carlton in Fort Lauderdale. On our own travels,
ocean view – 12 jan 2011
I had resigned myself to the fact that we would likely not be getting a room with an ocean view. I had convinced myself that an intrracoastal view would be quite interesting and good enough. So, my jaw dropped when the bellman opened the door to the room and I could see off over the
Casey Key is Shell Island
While we were in Florida, the wind was biting cold. But that didn’t stop me from getting to the beach. (The beach, always the beach. I can’t imagine living anywhere that is further form a beach than we are now. Six hours from the beach is already too far. I want to be closer to
Photo Friday: Casey Key
As I’ve mentioned before, the beach is the place I dream of the most. While in Florida earlier this week, we spent a night at Cocoa Beach on the Atlantic coast. But then, we headed across Florida to the gulf coast, and, despite the chilly wind, we spent a bit of time beachcombing on Casey
Roadtrip: Cocoa Beach, FL
At the last minute, we decided to take advantage of our week off from work and activities and head to Florida. I hadn’t been to the beach recently enough and Rob thought it would be a good idea to visit with his parents’. We decided to spend one night at Cocoa Beach and visit Kennedy
Mondays are for Dreaming: Knowing When to Divert the Flow
As I sit here, watching the sun rise over the Atlantic Ocean, I am having a difficult time dreaming of being anywhere else at the moment. Despite the frigid temperatures, the beach is still the place I dream of the most. I love visiting and learning about other places, of course, but the beach is
Mondays are for Dreaming: Pont du Gard
“Mommy, the Romans didn’t have train tracks, right?” “No.” “Okay, but they did have bridges, right?” “Yes, remember the big one we went to in France?” “Not really.” Quick internet search for photo. “Oh, yeah, I remember that place!” (Whew.) Between this exchange, which happened two minutes ago, and having recently read Great Kid Trip
Travels in Turkey: Around Selcuk
Travels in Turkey, Part 9 of 12 (I am resolved to finish up this series before 2011 gets here!) For one week of our trip to Turkey, we stayed in a villa in Selcuk, the modern city near Ephesus and close to the Aegean cost. From there, we took some day trips, like to Hierapolis
Mondays are for Dreaming: The Beach
This Monday I’m dreaming of the beach. I’m disappointed in myself for dreaming of the beach…can’t I come up with something more exciting? But no, when I imagine myself going somewhere this week, it’s the beach. As for which beach, I’m actually not all that picky. Sure, I’d like it to be clean and fairly
