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. From Kolomoki Mounds Historic Park: This historically significant park is the oldest and largest Woodland Indian site in the southeastern United States, occupied by American Indians from 350
Georgia State Parks
Ever since we got Evie and our Friends of the Georgia State Parks Pass last year, we’ve been visiting park after park here in Georgia.

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,
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
magical wonderland
No, I’m not talking about Disney … despite our recent whirlwind. No, I’m talking about Arabia Mountain. We’ve “hiked” this DeKalb County Park outcrop a few times in past years but have returned twice in the past month. Chloe gets bored. Camille generally is unreceptive to being out of doors and hiking. But they both

A few weeks ago, we packed up Evie for a weekend trip and headed to Florence Marina State Park along the Chattahoochee where it is Lake George/Eufaula and separates Alabama and Georgia. To get there, we crossed into Alabama and then back into Georgia, and I had no idea what time it was all weekend

“We’re not in Georgia anymore.” Had I not known better, I would have agreed. As it was, we were still in Georgia, in the canyons of Providence Canyon State Outdoor Recreation Area. The canyons, formed by “poor farming practices during the 1800’s”, reveal the hidden beauty of the underground layers. The trails down to the
photo friday: Little White House
A couple weekends ago, we camped for two freezing nights at FDR State Park, just south of Atlanta. While there, we visited Callaway Gardens, but even more interesting was our time at the “Little White House”. Until last month, I had no idea, really, that FDR spent time in Georgia and certainly didn’t realize that

I can just hear the comedy sketch that must take place every time someone decided to make this parking lot at F.D. Roosevelt State Park as a meeting point. A couple weeks ago, we packed up Evie, our VW PopTop, and headed south of Atlanta to F.D. Roosevelt State Park for a weekend of sub-freezing
sub-freezing camping
We’ve been camping in sub-freezing temps before — at LEAF, in Jackson, WY. But this weekend was the first time that water froze to a solid block. Our gallon jugs froze and even the spigot at our site froze. Silly me, I had SCOFFED at the steady trickle (not drip) of the faucet at the
Photo Friday: What a Name!
Last weekend, we staye at Indian Springs State Park which is located in the unfortunately named Butts County. Fortunately, it appears that the residents of the county take the name in stride! This is an entry for Delicious Baby’s Photo Friday.
Camping: Indian Springs State Park
I admit, it is a long stretch to call what we did this weekend “camping”. The girls and I joined friends for a few days at a cottage at Indian Springs State Park, which may be the oldest state park in the nation. The park is just about an hour from “the perimeter” in Atlanta,
Photo Friday: Panola Mountain State Park
On Tuesday, we went to Panola Mountain State Park, just east of Atlanta. While we spent most of our time in the area near the nature center, we did take a short drive to the other end of the park where the bike path runs. It is an area we hope to return to once
Around Atlanta: Panola Mountain State Park
A gorgeous spring morning in Atlanta deserves an outing! With our new Georgia State Parks pass, we decided to head over to Panola Mountain State Park. Similar to Arabia Mountain, a DeKalb County park, the park features a granite outcrop. Unlike Arabia Mountain, access to the outcrop is limited to guided tours, mostly on the

The girls went “biking” at Panola Mountain State Park …
Camping: High Falls State Park
We finally got Evie back from here week in the shop. Nothing was “wrong” with her, but there were a number of issues that needed to be dealt with, such as the non-functioning gas gauge and the windshield wiper fluid spraying off onto the car behind. Not wanting to travel too far from home, yet
Photo Friday: High Falls State Park
Last weekend we headed just a little ways south of Atlanta and went camping at High Falls State Park along the Towaliga River. Though the temperatures dipped below freezing the first night, we had a wonderful spring-like Saturday exploring the park. This is an entry for Delicious Baby’s Photo Friday.
