The weekend project that I was going to tell you about today (or yesterday, really) was rained out, so instead we’re going to have travel and adventure week around here. Maybe. Or maybe it will stop raining and we’ll find some time to finish the weekend project, and I’ll talk about that after all. But today, at least, I’m going … Continue reading
Here’s the penultimate installment of my recap of the big road trip we took way back in June! Today I’m covering our last two days in the DC area, and then next week I’ll finally wrap this thing up by telling you about a couple of places we stopped on the trip back down. National Air and Space Museum: Udvar-Hazy … Continue reading
National Zoo: I feel like the theme of the day at the zoo was bad pictures: See? Abe has never been to the zoo in Atlanta, because he’s mostly been too young to care and because it costs a bunch of money. So we drove 11 hours north instead to where the zoo is FREE! Sometime we’ll take him to … Continue reading
Another installment of our summer roadtrip re-cap! It won’t be summer anymore by the time I finish these! But that’s okay. I’m pretty sure all the stuff I’m talking about will still be around whenever you’re reading this. So when we left off, we had just finished our visit to Colonial Williamsburg. We left Williamsburg in the evening and made … Continue reading
So when we left off, we had just spent a fun/history-filled, ridiculously hot day touring Jamestown and Yorktown. The next day, our designated Colonial Williamsburg day, was overcast with a high of around 80–a very pleasant change from the day before. You start out at the Visitor’s Center in Williamsburg, where there’s plenty of parking and a building with a … Continue reading
Wow, well that title pretty much says it all, right? No need to write any more. Someday I should work on my catchy title writing skills. Right now I don’t have any of those. Skills. Anyway. When we found out that Dave’s sister, Amy, and her family would be taking a trip to Washington, DC this summer, we informed them … Continue reading
Check out part 1, about Fernbank Museum of Natural History here, and part 2, about Stone Mountain, here Now for the last installment in the recap of stuff we did while the cousins were here! I’m not sure how it worked out that we so much of this visit doing things so terrifyingly high up, and I’m not sure … Continue reading
I’ve talked about Stone Mountain, our local giant hunk of exposed granite, before, when we went on a field trip there for Ari’s Georgia history class. But this trip was completely different, because we actually went up on top of the mountain. We planned to also do a bunch of other stuff there, like the ropes course thing and … Continue reading
We had a lovely visit last week with Dave’s mom, sister, brother-in-law, and their kids, Benjamin and Louis. Now we miss them, and we wish they lived closer. Move closer, cousins! Even though we don’t get to see them as often as we’d like (they live in California), the kids always pick right back up and have a great … Continue reading
This post was supposed to be all about the two day trip we took to the middle of the state to see all sorts of historical stuff as part of the overnight field trip for Ari’s Georgia history class. Instead, we were gone for less than 24 hours, and I only have one exciting tourist destination to show you. Ari … Continue reading
