The intersection of car & art: Dream Cars at the High Museum of Art

The car I drive is never something that I’ve worried about too much; as long as it gets me from point A to B.  My father has the car bug, that desire to get the newest, latest vehicle that can do things slightly better than last year’s model.   He didn’t pass that gene to me.   I am however, into the weird and creative.  Dream Cars, the new exhibit this summer at the High Museum of Art is an art exhibit for gear heads, surrealists, engineers and pop culture people.

Hey tourists-welcome to Atlanta!  If you’re coming in the summer, it’s going to be hot, but we’ll still be friendly.  One of the places that you’ll most certainly visit is the World of Coca-Cola.  Being a local this was one of the last attractions that I visited in the city.  However, the more I visit, the more I enjoy it and the Explorer app that they’ve release will help visitors regardless if it’s your first or fifth visit.

The Sea Pines Beach Club-a welcome addition to Hilton Head Island

Our family vacations at Hilton Head Island some summers.  It’s a great place to relax, but one thing that has always been lacking is another place to eat and drink where you can see the water or go on the beach.  The Beach House near Coligny Plaza was that one place, it’s still is great and we’ll go there again.  However, the Sea Pines Beach Club has just reopened, having undergone an 18 million dollar renovation and contrary to some tourists on Hilton Head Island, it’s open to the public.

The Columbus Foundation presents the Nina and Pinta this summer

The Columbus Foundation has made floating museums of replicas of caravels (Portuguese trading vessels), used on Christopher Columbus’ first voyage to the “New World” in 1492. I had the opportunity to see them when the ships were at the Beaufort Harbor in SC.  I went with our kids in addition to my parents and my sister’s family. A total of six kids were with us at ages 2, 4, 6, 9, 11 & 13.

Family travel along the Georgia coast: short cuts, a petting zoo & The Wiregrass Trail

The Georgia coast has some really pretty beaches.  While Hilton Head is technically in South Carolina, you’re probably driving there via I-16 and Savannah.  I-16 is the interstate road that you get from Macon/I-75.  About two hours outside of Savannah look for exit 98.  If you’re headed to the South Georgia coast area of Jeckyll Island/St. Simmons Island or north to Savannah/Hilton Head; exit 98 can save you time or provide a needed break for families with kids.
