I love Maine. I honestly believe it to be the only other place I would want to live in America – besides Boston and my hometown. And if we are being honest, I don’t really love living in Boston. I don’t love handwashing dishes, constant noise pollution, or not being able to paint the cabinets.…
Earlier last week, fates and calendars coincided to allow for a quick little day-trip to Provincetown. I had never been all the way to the tip of the Cape but it has been a favorite destination for my Mom. A few years ago I took a Winter day trip but stopped short of the tip……
While I haven’t necessarily been writing as much, I’ve often found myself referring to previous travel posts when talking to friends. This weekend alone I was at a wedding in North Carolina and made reference to my Italy posts for Venice and Rome… as well as the Fall adventure to Mendocino in California. Although, I’m…
A few weeks ago, my Jawbone stopped working… but if it was still working, today would have been a very active day. I went for a super long walk … followed by 4 hours of driving with some great views. I am very thankful that I saved an entire day for Point Reyes Park. I…
There is nothing quite like 107 miles of twists and turns to really appreciate California’s coastline. I had decided the night before that I wasn’t going to the Redwoods and stuck to that. I ended up spending the day cruising the coast and stopping at a few spots. I had planned to stop at a…
I had some minor plans for the day that pretty much amounted to driving by the ocean and gawking at nature. Having lived by the ocean by entire life – and taken every opportunity possible to see the ocean … I was taken back by how amazing the view was everywhere. The ocean was just…
I’m currently sitting in a 4 poster bed, drinking a glass of wine courtesy of the B&B… and eating yogurt covered raisins. I’m not mad – but I am tired. It wasn’t exactly a short journey to get to this point. I drove for over 4 hours, visited 2 airports, flew for 8 hours, and…
My past two recent trips to LA have been pretty much all business. So, it was awesome this time around to do a little bit of exploring and relaxing. I’m a sucker for a view – so it naturally led to a trip to Joshua Tree National Park. As part of that I spent the…
Current conundrum = how many pictures of palm trees is too many? What if they all are of different palm trees… but that palm trees all look the same? Does it help that one of them is at night with the moon in the back? I think so. Regardless, I’m not going to stop taking…
I’m on vacation for a few days. It’s the first “vacation” that I’ve taken in pretty much exactly a year. December doesn’t count because I was between jobs… and so there was really nothing to relax from beside the previous day of cross-country skiing. I oscillate between really liking to maximize my days and wanting…
