I am not a skier or a snowboarder. I don’t like ice fishing. I don’t have a snowmobile. Basically, I just hate winter in New England. I don’t like being cold, winter sports are expensive and driving in the snow is the worst. To me, I don’t feel like winter really gets bad until mid-January…

In October, two of my best friends (Sam and Tanya) and I took a trip to Southern California. Sam had multiple work events during 2022 and she wanted Tanya and I to go with her on one of the trips since we love traveling together. Tanya had never been to the West Coast and I’m…

I’ve mentioned in some other posts that the Covid pandemic ruined an amazing trip Jarrett and I had planned. If you didn’t read the other posts (c’mon on, go back and read ‘em!), we were planning to go to Sequoia, Kings Canyon and Yosemite National Parks and then head up to the Lake Tahoe area…

It’s time for another edition of the annual girls trip to Martha’s Vineyard! Our morning ferry ride was a bit messy – it was raining and dreary but it started to clear up right as we entered the harbor. We had a lot of time to kill before the house would be ready for us…

This story begins with a podcast and some concrete. My friend Prince and his friend Jaycob had a podcast (SHOUT OUT TO “The Dogfathers”!) for quite a few years. During a 2020 episode, Jaycob mentioned a concrete artist he discovered in the Charlotte, North Carolina area. As always, when someone mentions something they think is…

Strap in folks, this is going to be a long one! Since 2020 ruined the California trip Jarrett and I had planned, we knew we needed to go big in 2021 once it was safer to travel. We really wanted to go to Yosemite National Park in the spring when the waterfalls would be flowing…

Another trip I was supposed to take in 2020 that was cancelled due to the pandemic was to Kansas City, Missouri. My best friend from childhood, Shelly, moved to the Midwest from Maine for grad school. Shelly is one of the most knowledgeable and interesting people I know. I’ve learned so much from her over…

During the 2020 summer season, our Vineyard house host starting renting her home to other people and continued doing so into 2021. When we arrived on Martha’s Vineyard early in the morning for our annual trip, we couldn’t go to the house first thing like we normally would since the last guests were still checking…

My friends Sam, Tanya and I had talked for a long time about going to Nashville for a girls trip, specifically for Tanya’s birthday. We wanted to go for her 30th birthday but it didn’t work out at the time. Flash forward a few years and the three of us had booked plane tickets to…

Jarrett and I had planned a fantastic vacation in the fall of 2019 for the following May. We were going to go back to California but instead of focusing on the coast like we did previously, we’d travel inland and go to a few national parks and other fun spots. However, like everything else, the…
