I was in Newport for the weekend – which was lovely. It was such a special occasion celebrating one of my oldest friends. Although 11 years might actually not be that long, we have certainly done a whole lot of living in those 11 years. Learned a whole lot of lessons. Mostly good ones, which…
… otherwise known as when I held my brother and his girlfriend hostage… and made them do everything I wanted to do. But actually, it was a really great day. One of these days I’ll have to actually stick around the island for more than 24 hours and relax more – but until then, I’m…
And that’s the wrap on our Utah Siblings Trip 2018! We’ve always been a close trifecta but these trips are such a great opportunity to reconnect. I remember the magic of last year and wondered if it was a fluke. This trip was different than the last one but the magic was still there. I…
So this is the last day of the trip. It was a real long one. I can never resist a sunrise and when you combine that with lots of driving and a red eye… well that’s a long day. Morning in Moab When we first got to Red Cliff Lodge the day before, we knew…
We have now hit 4 National Parks on this trip! Some of them are more highly rated on our list than others, but feeling pretty good about how much we are covering and seeing and enjoying. Morning Time I’m always up first in this group – and so I was confident that I would catch…
Another day, another national park. Right now we have hit up 2 and I think by the end we will be at 4? Pretty proud of that fact. Today was a lot of driving – but also a lot of killer views. Bryce is like nothing else in the world – and has to be…
Today was a true combo of driving and hiking. The hike we did reminded me that yoga is not necessarily cardio. I obviously made it through and we were always going to be fine, but man I was winded for the first twenty minutes. Despite waking up to some consistent rain, the day turned out…
Yikes this was a long day. It started in Boston and ended in Utah. There is something so incredibly punishing and rewarding about a 6 AM flight – especially when you live in the burbs. Everyone was a trooper from start to finish. Our goal for the day was essentially to get to Zion and…
After the success of our Seattle Siblings Trip last year, we have elected to try the whole thing again – except in Utah. There is something a bit wholesome about taking a family vacation to national parks. It’s just fun to explore the great outdoors and drive around for 5 days. And just like last…
As a family we grew up spending many weekends on the Vineyard, so many trips to Felix Neck, Bunch of Grapes bookstore, Chilmark Chocolates, and other vintage gems. The Vineyard in the 90s feels different than the Vineyard now. And while I think that is true, it is also just a bit of a lie.…
