Ercolano and Vesuvio

By Washington Wandering on July 16, 2012February 11, 2022

On their first day in Italy, we decided to take Aunt Donna and Madison to Pompeii. We got up early and left the house on time. It’s about a 45 minute drive from where my dad lives to Pompeii. Once we got there, a woman stopped us on the street and started speaking to us

Day 3 in Athens

By Washington Wandering on July 13, 2012February 11, 2022

Day three started off early and much more successfully than day 2. We got up, had breakfast, and then immediately set out to visit an ancient graveyard set along the old entrance to the city. We saw this Greek Orthodox chuch on the way, And this one once we’d gotten there, We also saw this

Day 2 in Athens

By Washington Wandering on July 12, 2012February 11, 2022

Day 2 started off fairly early. Or at least I thought it was early. Apparently I’m a novice traveler. I forgot to set my phone an hour ahead to Greek time. Apparently the iPhone doesn’t do that automatically when you’re abroad. Who knew? I didn’t. So I woke up at 6:10 to meet my dad

Day 1 in Athens

By Washington Wandering on July 11, 2012February 11, 2022

Today we visited Herculaneum and hiked to the top of Mt. Vesuvius with Madison and Aunt Donna. Will be posting about that soon! —- On Friday, my Dad and I headed to the airport fairly early to catch a flight to Athens. It’s only about 1.5  hour in the air. Once in Athens, we made

Visiting Helen, Georgia

By Washington Wandering on October 31, 2011May 5, 2026

This post is going to be picture heavy. The weekend was a success, y’all. And by success, I mean “bank account emptying, beer coma inducing, day full of riotous laughter.” We drove up to Helen on Friday as soon as Mike got off work. Naturally, the day full of glorious sunshine turned to torrential rain

There’s something about Mommy

By Washington Wandering on October 21, 2011February 11, 2022

This morning on the way to work I found my thoughts drifting away from the day ahead. Mike and I were planning on heading up to my mom’s tonight after work, but because of the long drive and short weekend, we decided not to. The yard needs to be mowed one last time, and I

A letter on Saturday

By Washington Wandering on August 12, 2011November 28, 2012

Side note: My grandlitte, Megan, has started a blog. Go follow her. =)  Dear Friends, You know who you are. I miss you. Especially our runs to Guthries, cool dips in Wescott Fountain, and nights of endless pleasure at the Strip. And by endless pleasure I mean sketchy bar hopping and the occasional low-down brawl.

Mens Wearhouse is synonymous with Hell

By Washington Wandering on August 10, 2011November 28, 2012

Or…”On Becoming Bridezilla” (Side note – if my blog header looks wonky, UPDATE YOUR BROWSER and stop living in the stone age. I made sure the coding worked with all of the most recent browser updates.) Men’s Wearhouse is LITERALLY the seventh circle of hell. (Violence) I wanted to punch someone in the arm the

Dinner & Dessert at the Boll Weevil Cafe

By Washington Wandering on July 19, 2011November 19, 2018

Mike’s big sister Gena turned 21 *see footnote* on Saturday, so we celebrated with the family in Augusta that evening. We ate dinner at the Boll Weevil Cafe – apparently one of Paula Dean’s faves. My salad was sub-par and the fried green tomatoes didn’t exactly throw a party in my mouth, although Gena said

The time I spent my Friday at the DMV

By Washington Wandering on July 18, 2011November 28, 2012

Everyone knows the DMV is the most revolting place in the world. Seriously. It’s worse than The Doctor’s. It’s worse than traveling. In South Carolina, you only have 90 days to get your SC driver’s license after you move to the state until they start hunting you down and threatening you with jail time. And since I

I found an old blog post the other day where I’d written, “If you’re happy, show it. If you’re sorry, say it. Feelings aren’t meant to be fought, they’re meant to be felt.” A beautiful January weekend in Western Washington meant taking the time to enjoy this perfect sunshine + mountain + water combination. It’s happening 🥰❄️🥶 Have you see enough photos captioned “Fall in the North Cascades” yet? No? Good because here’s another. 😅🥹💛 Not quite peak but just as pretty! 🧡💛💚 Someone call Owen Wilson I could use a solid “wow” right about now. 😍 Up, up, up we go! Home from our 2025 Marmoteering adventure in @olympic_nps. We hiked in from Obstruction Point on Wednesday afternoon and spent all day Thursday and Friday surveying marmot habitat trying to determine whether certain areas were occupied or abandoned. We were only able to reach two of our three assigned clusters this year because of the challenging off-trail navigation, steep terrain and bear activity we encountered while trying to access the third one. Hopefully one of the later volunteer groups has better luck. But we did see a lot of marmots this year, as well as some abandoned burrows and a TON of mountain beaver activity. And best of all, it didn’t rain a single drop. 😅 We love this little spot along the River 🥰🌲
