A Whole Lot of Oooooh-tah! (Day 3&4)
August 22, 2020 There are some vacations that sit you in front of your suitcase each morning, agonizing over what to wear, wondering how fashionable you should go, how formal, how casual, how comfortable, how functional, whether you should bring a jacket, or an umbrella, or an extra pair of shoes. But my favorite part Continue reading

A Whole Lot of Oooooh-tah! (Day 1&2)
Note: Throughout the entirety of this mini vacation all rules were followed, restrictions were taken seriously, and masks were worn when required, so please don’t come at me.

There is More

Since I have been lucky enough to continue going into the office for work, I am among the (far fewer) commuters in the morning and afternoon. And lately on my way home, I have been taking the freeway a few exits past my own, and then driving up and down the side streets around my Continue reading

When in France… (Our European Adventure: Day 8&9)
June 20th, 2019: So, as you can probably imagine by now, THERE. WE. WERE. Our suitcases were upstairs, tightly packed and (miraculously) zipped, and we had twin taxis scheduled to pick us up at 10:30 a.m. for our 1:15 p.m. train. We were headed to Paris and I was fully intending to have bread at Continue reading

It Started with Whiskey and Ended McNasty (Our European Adventure: Day 4&5)
Sunday June 16th, 2019 On an average day I don’t usually have whiskey with my breakfast, but when you’re in Southern Ireland and there is a Jameson Distillery twenty minutes from your hotel, sometimes you find yourself having whiskey for breakfast.

Uh, Hey, We’re in Ireland! (Our European Adventure: Day 1)
June 13th, 2019: So there we were. Overstuffed backpacks making our shoulders ache, wheeled suitcases constantly hitting bumps and threatening to topple over, and ankles far too bare for the unexpected wind that welcomed us into the Dublin morning. After 13 hours of travel, my family had landed in Ireland and were making our way Continue reading
