Because I’m in a Disney mood today (but let’s face it, when am I not in a Disney mood though) it seems like a good time to detail another day of my November Disney trip. It was me, my sister, my mom, and my grandmother, who we call Grandy. One of my favorite parts of…
Miami in wintertime is a beautiful thing- especially when your family, friends, and coworkers back in the Northeast are shoveling out from a snowstorm. My husband and I were invited to a wedding in Miami, and we decided to arrive a day early for a little R & R. We spent our time eating great…
During our summertime visit to the Lake George area of New York, we made time to get a few history lessons. We started with the epic Fort Ticonderoga, which played a part in many important events in the area’s history starting over three centuries ago. We began our visit, however, not with the fort but…
With the holiday season behind us but lots of winter still ahead, it seems only fitting that I’m using magical Disney memories to keep my heart warm. This past November I was lucky enough to join my sister, mother, and grandmother (affectionately known as Grandy) for a long weekend at the Walt Disney World resort.…
What’s a weekend of relaxation without a little adventure? That was our thinking when we made a reservation at Adirondack Extreme, an aerial treetop adventure course just a short drive from our cabin on Lake George. My parents happily stayed on the ground with my baby niece while my sisters, brother-in-law, husband, and I embarked…
My husband’s work-related travel often takes him far and wide, but lately he has been in Queens, NY, a bit closer to home. I had one day off that would expire at the end of the year, so I decided to use it to extend a cold December weekend and make a little mini-break out…
Updated to include a few extra photos I found! It had been a very busy year for my family, so when my parents floated the idea of renting a house on a lake for some summer rest and relaxation time, my sisters and I jumped on board! We ended up staying in the small and…
One of our last adventures during our summer visit to Greece was a beautiful journey around Meteora. The area is named for the monolithic landscape, which consists of boulders and hills gently wrapped around each other. There are many Greek Orthodox monasteries scattered around the scene, and while we only went inside one of them…
Considering what we knew about the area, we had three things in mind when we began our short stay in Delphi, Greece- the Temple of Apollo, the Oracle of Delphi, and the archaeological museum. We were able to explore all of that and more during just one day there. Our first stop was an iconic…
In order to deem a meal at a restaurant “excellent”, I look for a few key things: good food, a nice atmosphere, friendly service, and a reasonable price. Caru cu’ Bere (loosely translated as “beer wagon”), a restaurant in the Lipscani area of Bucharest, Romania, delivered all of these things and much more. My husband…
Hey folks! A lot has been going on since I’ve last been here. Unfortunately, one of those things is the fact that my office has done a complete tech rework and now blocks a bunch of websites that were previously available, and WordPress is one of them! 😦 I did most of my writing for…
I can honestly say that the Greek island of Santorini is one of my most favorite places I have ever been. I don’t know if it was the architecture, the atmosphere, the landscape, the people, or simply the beauty of it all, but the short period of time we spent there was more than sweet.…
