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
compromise: theme park equilibrium
I’m a cheapskate. I hate to spend money. I look for deals. I hold my wallet close. “Do I need this?” “Why do I want to buy this?” I’m not an extreme coupon kind of person — I don’t NEED that much toilet paper, detergent or other crap. I buy what will make us happy,

After our Saturday morning hike at Ocmulgee National Monument, we headed south to Georgia Veterans State Park. Silly us, we had brought our own watermelon to south Georgia. We saw BUSLOADS of watermelons as we drove the backroads to the park. Truly and honestly, busloads. One day, I want to get pictures of these buses
Dragon*Con Weekend
Rob and the girls headed off to the “big city” for a weekend of hanging out with a lot of enthusiastic sci-fi/fantasy fans and hopefully getting to meet some stars….

Back in June, Rob, the girls and I spent an evening at Medieval Times. Rob and Camille had gone before, but this was the first time that Chloe and I had been. And we had a blast cheering on the Blue Knight…who did not win, unfortunately. At the end, Chloe insisted on staying and getting
Georgia: Etowah Indian Mounds, Take 2
When Camille and I were at Etowah Indian Mounds State Historic Site a few weeks ago, we spotted a notice for an upcoming Saturday event full of activities. Since I wanted to get the cabin, but we couldn’t leave on Friday due to Chloe’s school picnic, we decided to return and bring Chloe along. The
Georgia: KIRBO Interpretive Center
When Rob, the girls and I camped at Florence Marina State park lat February so we could hike in Providence Canyon State Park, we wanted to visit the Kirbo Interpretive Center, which “… showcases area wildlife and plants, local history and Native Americans, including artifacts from the prehistoric Paleo-Indian period through the early 20th century.”
Georgia: Kolomoki Indian Mounds
Last weekend, the girls and I loaded up Evie for a weekend of camping at Kolomoki Mounds Historic Park as part of Camille’s native cultures in Georgia.

photo friday: metropolis
On our way home from our trip to Saint Louis, we decided to make a short detour off the interstate to visit Metropolis. A quiet downtown square area, dwarfed by a huge statue of Superman greeted us. We took a little time to shop in the Superman gift shop and then snapped some photos before
photo friday: city museum
Six and a half years ago, the girls and took a weekend trip to Saint Louis and, on the recommendation of a friend, we headed to City Museum. Ever since that trip years ago, the girls have been begging to return. So when we accompanied Rob on a St. Louis back in June, a return

We headed down to the Fox Theatre today to see Peter Pan starring Cathy Rigby. Chloe insisted that we stay after the show so she could get to meet the famous Olympic gymnast!

In June, the girls and I accompanied Rob on a trip to St. Louis. The girls had two “must visit” places for the trip: City Museum and the Gateway Arch. So first thing Sunday morning, we headed down to the river to visit the arch. While there, we chose to visit the Westward Expansion Museum,
Georgia: Etowah Indian Mounds
This past Friday while Chloe was tucked safely in a chair at school, because how else could she learn, Camille and I took a field trip up to Etowah indian Mounds Historic Site as part of her studies on native cultures in Georgia. It took a little longer to get there than I had realized,
photo friday: public spaces in NYC
Back in April when Camille and I were in NYC, two places high on Camille’s wish list were the NY Public Library and Grand Central Station. So after we disembarked from our Circle Line cruise, we walked across town to Bryant Park where we rested a bit and then went into the library. I wasn’t

While Camille and I were in NYC a few months ago, we needed to find somehting we could do Monday morning with our backpacks. I had been trying to get the girls to take a Circle Line cruise for years, and I decided that would work well. We walked down to the pier; when we
Georgia: Track Rock Gap
While in Blue Ridge a couple weeks ago, the girls and I visited a couple places from our list of field trips regarding native cultures in Georgia. We first (with Rob..) went to Fort Mountain State Park to see the ancient wall there. The next day, the girls and I headed out east of Blairsville
braves game: what game?
As a fundraiser, Chloe’s gymnastics team sold $10 general admission tickets to the Braves vs. Mets game last Saturday. While it complicated our travel plans, I thought it would be a good way for Chloe to get the chance to feel more a part of the team if she went and “did a lap” around
Georgia: Fort Mountain Wall
The girls and I headed up to Blue Ridge a couple of weeks ago to spend a little time at the cabin. While there we decided to take the time to visit a few of the places from our list of native cultures in Georgia. After a series of false starts and a little comedy
photo friday: the high line
In my huge “notes” document, I keep a list of things I want to see, organized by city. Whenever I come across something interesting, I jot it down. NYC’s High Line had been added to the list about 4 times in the past couple of years, so I knew it had to be the top
