Blackberries and the Olympics

June 15, 2012

Our recent trip to the Pacific Northwest was marvelous. I feel like a broken record saying this over and over again, but the experience really was that remarkable. After traveling, eating and gathering inspiration – attending & speaking at BlogHer Food to cap off our vacation helped me tie all of my disconnected thoughts together. [...]

A Few from Alaska

Last week, we were cruising through Alaskan waters and exploring the southeast portion of the great state of Alaska. Today, we are in Vancouver and will be heading south back into the US and into [...]

A Glimpse of my Childhood

December 26, 2011

I don’t make enough trips to Virginia. I’m not sure if it’s because of the 6.5 hour car drive or the lack of things to do in the small town, but I only make the trip up north once a year – twice if I’m lucky. I’m never in town long enough to really slow [...]

I’m not ready for this yet.” “What have I done with my life (so far)?” “Great. This is [...]

If you visit Grand Cayman, if you’ve never been before and if you have a limited amount of time… visiting the Stingray Sandbar is a must-do. We were planning on going on a dive while in Grand Cayman, but a fellow diver on our Belize dive told us how incredible the stingray sandbar was. So, [...]

Now, Bring me that Horizon

September 29, 2011

I love the ocean. Now, don’t get me wrong I do enjoy being in the mountains, but I just don’t get that simultaneous feeling of both serenity and exhilaration when I am in the mountains. We have taken two trips out West this year and I was afraid that I wouldn’t get to see my [...]

Cruise Food: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

September 27, 2011

We are finally back from a 10 day vacation! We spent the first part of it in Orlando, and the second part on a 7 day cruise to the Western Caribbean. Carnival Cruise Lines aren’t exactly known for their food, they are known to be the “Fun Ships.” And that they are, with daily schedules [...]
