To celebrate our one year anniversary, we decided to drive over to Charleston, South Carolina for a few days. The weather turned out to be great, especially with the late winter and snowy conditions the South has had over the past few weeks. Here is the first part of my summary of some of the…

Gifts from Tanzania
By BFF AJ has spent the last 3 months in Tanzania. Thank goodness for the internet because I got to chat online with her from time to time. She arrived back home safe and sound last weekend, and she happened to bring us back a couple of things. I had to show you the spices…
Dinner at Boma
Here is the last of my Epcot International Food & Wine Festival posts: dinner with my parents at Boma. One word: fabulous. I had read many great things about Boma, but yet had never eaten there. Since this trip was focused on food, I convinced Mr. G that we should take my parents here for…
Everybody Needs a little Cakelove
I bought my mom and I tickets to a culinary demonstration while at the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival. We had the opportunity to see Warren Brown of Cakelove in action. You may remember him from the Food Network show “Sugar Rush”. He is an attorney turned baker who owns bakeries around the Washington,…
Epcot International Food & Wine Festival
Now to the main event….the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival. Not only did Mr. G, my parents, and I went, but my sister, two of her friends, and the son of one of them went. We had one great family outing! We started off the morning checking out the “Chef Band”. We also went…
Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party
Boo to you! That’s a line in the song you hear throughout the Halloween parade. Here are just a few shots from the party(we had great seats along the parade route). My parade shots did not come out that great. We even got a chance to Trick-or-Treat which is always fun. I think I’ll go…
This is How We Roll
When I travel with my parents, we usually travel in their recreational vehicle or RV. This was the case for our family trip to Orlando. My parents are retired educators who love a good road trip. It started with a mini van when I was in elementary or middle school and now it has progressed…
Travel Snacks
Snacks are important to any trip, so I put some thought into what I wanted to take to Orlando. I asked my travel companions if they had any requests. The only request I received was from my mother who wanted Chex Mix, so of course I made some for her. I also made two-bite brownies,…
Road Trip to Hilton Head Island
I had the opportunity to travel to Hilton Head Island this week for work. I haven’t been there since I was in grade school so it was nice to go back and see it as an adult. Unfortunately, it seemed as if the sun only came out while I was working and it rained by…
Mrs. G Goes to Washington Part II
I traveled to D.C. to be on a panel during the 2009 Congressional Black Caucus Spring Health Braintrust & 6th Annual National Minority Quality Forum (NMQF) Leadership Summit (whew, that was long!). It was a humbling experience! Was I nervous? Yes. Did I survive my presentation? Yes! The topics covered were disparities in cardiovascular disease,…
