photo friday: Lake Eden
What does LEAF stand for, you ask? Lake Eden Arts Festival! And what about this Lake Eden? Well, it is the lovely centerpiece to the music, food, art, and activities of the weekend.
photo friday: LEAF food
For our first trip to LEAF, I brought along all our camping cooking equipment and food. Through the years, I’ve brought less and less with me each time. Why? The food at LEAF is amazing. Even the coffee is good. Plenty of vegetarian friendly options. Good ones. GREAT ones. So good that I could eat
photo friday: austin city limits
For the seventh year in a row, we made our pilgrimage to Austin for the Austin City Limits Music Festival. With both girls in school now, it was a whirlwind of a trip. Drive 900 miles on Thursday. Go to three full days of music. Drive 900 miles home on Monday. But it was very
around atlanta: paris on peachtree
Sunday, we headed down to The High for the “Paris on Peachtree” exhibit. Before heading into the museum, the girls and I stopped at Table 1280 for some espresso and pastries — seemed to be appropriate! Phil and Barbara met us at the cafe, then we all toured the exhibit together. As luck would have
around atlanta: skyview
Ever since it has opened, I’ve wanted to go and ride on SkyView, Atlanta’s new Ferris Wheel. The last time we were at Centennial Park, it was for a trip to the Coke Museum. The day was cold, wet and foggy, so we passed on riding the wheel. Thursday night, I managed to convince the
atlanta: garden lights holiday nights
Last week, while Rob was in NYC, the girls and I headed out to the Atlanta Botanical Garden for the holiday lights. We’ve been a few times in past years, and I always enjoy seeing the garden all lit up and decorated for the holidays. Camille found a tree whose lights matched her hair color.

While we were in Tybee Island back in September, we decided to spen a few hours exploring Fort Pulaski. Unfortunately, just as we got there, the skies turned dark and we were up against a thunderstorm. Due to the lightning, we couldn’t stay up on the ramparts, but e did enjoy exploring the various rooms

While in Tybee Island in September, we decided to take a day to visit Savannah. Having never been there before, and because of the heat, we decided to try out one of the off-on trolley tours. While it was a fun way to see some of the old city, I don’t think we’d opt for

The light in the early morning and evening is always so lovely, especially at the beach!

photo friday: red top mountain
A couple of months ago, we headed up to Red Top Mountain State Park. So close to Atlanta, yet we had never been! Phelix and I got there first and set up the campsite. Rob and the girls came later after gymnastics. Camille and I had a lovely weekend of unwinding at the campsite for
atlanta: yellow river game ranch
As the year is starting to come to a close, I’ve been looking over our various lists and projects, figuring out what we haven’t done yet that we had hoped to do this year. On Chloe’s 2013 list was the Yellow River Game Ranch. Although we did spend a coupe hours there back in February
atlanta: scarecrows in the garden
As long-time members at and regular visitors to the Atlanta Botanical Garden, we’ve watched it go through some major changes through the past decade. I am always playing old-timer with the girls — “Remember when the entrance used to be here, then there and then over there?” “Remember when this used to be the gift
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
photo friday: whale watching
While on Cape Cod this summer, one thing I knew we must do was to take Chloe on a whale watch. She insists on going to every aquarium we see and cannot get enough of marine animals. And boat rides, from ferries to kayaks are also high on her list. Despite the sudden, unexpected rain
photo friday: fox theatre tour
One of the hopes on our Summer 2013 Passport List was to finally take a tour of the Fox Theatre. The girls, my parents and I finally made it there this past July. After years of going to plays, movies, and ballets at the beautiful theater, we finally had the chance to learn the fascinating
try. and try again.
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
go fly a kite.
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: cloudland canyon state park
Back in early June, we headed out for our second camping trip of the summer. This time around, both Rod and Phelix joined us. I’ve always wanted to visit Cloudland Canyon — from all reports, it was sure to be a magical place. We were not disappointed. On Saturday, we headed out to hike to
