Mommy is a little ambitious. I have been trying really hard to make this a perfect Christmas for Mason, so I began by booking tickets for us to take our first weekend get-away to Callaway Gardens for the “Fantasy in Lights” show. I was so excited about going up and wanted Mason to see Santa [...]

A Side Trip to Plains
Posted in Travel, tagged Plains GA on July 5, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Before heading home, I persuaded Mike to drive the short distance from Americus to Plains, the home of former President and First Lady Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter. My daddy and I have talked about going to Plains for years, and I did not want to miss an opportunity to check it out since we were [...]
Road Trip!

Mike and I both had Friday off and decided to get out of the house with Mason. We have been wanting to go to Andersonville for a long time but have never made the trip. Besides, why waste a day off?
Andersonville, or Camp Sumter, is a National Historic Site located near Americus, Georgia. It is [...]

The absolute BEST part of our anniversary weekend was dinner on Saturday night. Mike wanted to do something special, so he made reservations for us to dine at SALT Restaurant at the Ritz-Carlton. It was spectacular. The service was amazing, and our table had an ocean view. Because it was a special occasion, upon arrival [...]

I know it is a weird thing to understand, especially for a native Floridian, but this weekend was too hot for the beach. Seriously! So, unfortunately, we did not spend very much time there, and when we were there, we were in the water, for sure.
We actually went swimming on Friday night after Happy Hour [...]

On Friday, Mike and headed over to Fernandina and quickly found our way to The Surf, a local restaurant on the beach that serves up delicious food and drinks. We were both craving seafood, so we each ordered a fried shrimp basket and a beer. Mike said it was the worst beer he had ever [...]
Hmmm…What to Do?
Posted in Holiday, Travel, tagged Day trips in the Tallahassee area on May 12, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Mike and I realized this weekend that we have no plans for Memorial Day. Last year, I was so excited to be going to Monroeville, Alabama, Harper Lee’s home, to watch a theatrical version of To Kill a Mockingbird. As we were dropping our dogs off at my mom’s, I literally started throwing up in [...]
The Good and Bad of Our Football Weekend
Posted in Family, Small town life, Travel, tagged Florida State Seminoles, The Jacksonville Jaguars on October 6, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
As with other southerners, our lives completely revolve around football in the fall. Saturdays are reserved for the FSU Seminoles and Sundays belong to the Jacksonville Jaguars (after church, of course!).
This weekend was one of mixed feelings. After a long day of running errands and car shopping, we made it home in time to host [...]
